Scored a 64 jack and lug wrench..

I cringe when I see those. And the cars with 3 foot of rubber fuel line. It's a fire waiting to happen.
That's what I've used for 17 years. Replaced three times, the way my cars are, I need to see the fuel (crappy pump that won't die, and similar). I keep the filter away from the heat as much as possible, usually over the frame rail. I haven't checked under hood temperatures, but I doubt they are in the 350° range that the plastic melts at. When they get old and a little dirty, I replace them.
Thanks. Had it a long time and never got to it. I guess I'm going to let it go.
Are you going to paint the fuel pump too?
The one you hijacked? Already put it back in the car...in the 72 Demon, that is. Just waiting for these 3+ days of rain to pass to getting it back out on the street a bit to figure some things out and then hopefully back to the track one more time this year.Are you going to paint the fuel pump too?
Yeah that pump. What else you ordering this month? I have a 72 Dart. So the parts will probably fit.
What track do you go to? I used to go to Milan but we lost another one.
This year was Lapeer, Mid-Michigan, and National Trails (Mopar Nats). Your track US-131 is a tad too far but I'd love to get out there and see that car of yours run!
US-131 is my track too
I was out to Lapeer in 19 and really didn't like the concrete walled burn out box and really the 6 foot walls were a bit much. Then I got stuck out parking in the sand area as there was no parking. But it's the closest one anymore so I may be out there more. Ya I did have fun! My purple dart is apart so I was running my 69 red 340 cuda. I haven't been out any in the last 2 years hope it's better next year. And I'm getting old lol so it's time to let some stuff go as I haven't gotten to them in the last 20 years and I sure as hell ain't got 20 left.
Hard to keep my compressor cool through all those layers. One panel at a time.
Let's see...damper, water pump, valve springs, etc, etc. The list gets longer each time I think about it. Plenty more for you to hijack!Yeah that pump. What else you ordering this month? I have a 72 Dart. So the parts will probably fit.
