@halifaxhops Another ballast resistor issue. Ballast resistor or no ballast resistor
What you think? Think it is sold also. Have all the parts NOS. Have 7 guys on a list for them. That was cheap, easily a 800 core.
Good morning, my left nea and neck feels much better this morning, just got done with a 1/4 mile walk, 1/8 on gravel and a couple hills, other 1/8 on payment. Should be a good day to do a couple tests on my fuel gage after a shower.
On my back running a new heavy gage 3/8 supply line and mounting a new tank was a little ruff on this 67 year old, blessed to be able
to do it.
I bought a TRW Performance catalog last night. We threw away thousands of dollars of catalogs away at the parts store. Who knew back then that they would be worth money today. Of course, storing a garage full of old catalogs for 50 years doesn't make any sense. @MOPARMITCH
It sounded pretty cheap.
Hopefully it is real not re tagged. Always a crap shoot. Thats what Paypal is for! At least the Tag is real
Saved my *** a few times. Getting hard to find any RB dual points now and a ton of re tagged ones out there. Pretty easy for me to spot a new repop tag.

Dual point tag myths
OK I have been askked many times where to get a repop tag that is right. Unfortunately no one is stamping them and only one style of the four is available now. Some pics of real tags There is one more style I have to get a picture of. I looked...

Good Morning to all who are still here. And those who left who will be back
Speaking of tags, Think I finally got all the puzzle pieces together to make all four tags properly. PIA to find a machine to emboss and stamp then also to get the embossing dies together. Should have the final piece done next week. The machine shop I deal with can make the die and do a run of tags some what affordably for me. Should be able to sell them around 100 for the embossed ones.
You can do VIN# tags
If I remember correctly, a Mopar machinist here used to make those. I never saw one though. I don't know if that guy is still around.
I get asked for them all the time, the repops out there are only one style and engraved not stamped and get big hits when the cars are judged. Machine to do it is around 1k, then four sets of dies I will need for duplicate numbers. Good thing I can be able to stamp other tags like AC, Carb etc, Could be lucrative. Dists are starting to get old to me.
Onley game in town now is BRE and it is one style only and look like crap, I will not use them. I will not re tag, if I ever do it will have the remains of the old tag with it also. Way to many out there re tagged now. This guy does great custom stuff but way out of reach for most of us.
I'm going to do a little wiring today if I can find the right breakers for the electrical box. I ran 12-3 to a double outlet box and I will split the outlets to separate 15a. breakers. It's for Lauren's computer server. I have the box set, the wire strung and today I'll hook it up.
Chris, I need some help.

Right? Something about kryptonite
It's good to branch out to keep things interesting.
Sure. Make sure your insurance covers accidental fires….I'm going to do a little wiring today if I can find the right breakers for the electrical box.

Initial cost will be a bit high, but have three restoration shops I deal with very interested in it. I am so glad I made friends with the guy that has that old 1850's to date machine shop. He makes the bushings and collars I use. Talked to him about the tags yesterday and costs roughly to make up the dies and stamp the tags. Well at least it is cheaper than getting a car painted. Actually excited about it.
Ha yes. Thankfully hagerty is great to work withLesson learnedd there Sparkey?
