    I'd like to have the a/c bracketry off the green truck. That looks like it would work well on a B model. That and the water pump pulley.

    On mine, there was a housing in the middle of the motor with two bolts that held the linkage to the motor. That housing held a gear that rode on the rack inside the motor. Not sure how they did it with newer trucks? I don't have a picture handy. There should be some valving in one end of the motor(should be the end with the hoses attached). If that gets sticky, it will not reverse the direction of the motor. Does the dash control leak air? Could be the valve?

    I chewed off a big bite when I bought my B 13 yrs ago. Just take it one step at a time.

    Remove the bumpstops. They won't hit then LOL!! Or at least shorten them? I just had my drivers side pack rebuilt on the front of my B model. Not that big of deal and any local spring shop should be able to assist.

    It has Ohio Historical plates on it. It sure does have an odd look about it. Almost like an Astro looking front end? Someone put a late model grille shell with big letters over the original front end.

    Have a friend whose wife is quite the artist and she painted one of their rooms with old school gas station theme with his actual hot rods in it. I told her to make the rear of his 32 roadster pickup a real tailgate on the wall for a sitting bench.

    I wonder if it has anything to do with the unloader valve in the compressor? It makes noise, til you start making air? Wonder if the turbo boost air is affecting the valve itself. Broken spring?

    ...........and the biggest thing they ever drove was the little jeep hooked to the back. Sure, no problemo.............

    There is a fellow named Matt that lives in Virginia that I did some transmission work(Doug Nash) and he runs a FOX body with a turbo 4banger. He just posted on Facebook the other day I think it was going 6.60 in the 1/8 with "only 20#". Slowly creeping up on his goal. His latest video is on facebook, but here is from last year: Link to facebook video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152131157076989 A friend locally tried to build one and he put it in a '72 Datsun body. It was a full tube chassis. He ended up selling it off before getting the bugs out.

    Dang, I was just over that way last weekend. I went down 220 to 322 to 522 to Beaver Springs.

    Headlights look like typical A model KW. Overall looks like a good project. Doesn't look too rotten.

    Thanks Van. That is kinda what I thought. No hurry, just am curious as that is about the only place you can put it.

    The owner just found out our rates went up $3000/mo for nothing. She is not happy. Might have to whack on our paychecks?

    Mike, Carl has been on the car since about 2000. He helped me get the blower stuff for the black car when I did it in 1999. I've known him for 25 yrs now. Trent, there is a fellow running locally with a Deville, his name is "Cadillac Shawn". Pretty sure it runs 10.9's-11's. I'm thinking it is late 70's, early 80's model.

    Ohhh, bodyshop jail. Typical. Glad to see you are making progress!

    Wow...that is nice. I can only dream............ I do have one question. Where did they find room for the a/c compressor? I'm working on getting a/c in my truck and wondered how it was done. I am thinking I might have to move/remove the factory fuel canister(front pass. side) and mount it up in that vicinity.
  21. Freightrain
    Yup, GoPro. Sorry no TV for me.

    Miles? Ever change fluids? They are set up with tapered bearings on the shafts and if they get loose it can get ugly. Had 91 F350 with 200k miles and it was junk. Have 95 with 150k and good shape.

    I shoulda/coulda/woulda had all three sign my car...........but then got away from it and never asked. Oh well.

    428..................well, it was just a 428. I put a 4.25 stroker crank in it a year back. It is now a 462ci 428. Made 625 hp in the dyno at 6500 rpm. I leave at 5500 rpm, shift at 6500. It has gone 10.8's @ 123 mph in the 1/4 mile. Car and driver is 4100#.

    My guess is the power rating on the gear set itself does not lend to higher speeds. Has to be some reason the engineers don't want you to do it?
