  3. I agree on the mirrors!. As for long lasting, probably not much longer than any of the other new units from Paacar or I.H. When the electronics and pollution controls get obsolete so does the unit..
  4. Well worth it to be period proper. Paul
  5. How about running a 1956 Olds 98, loaded even had AC with 37,000 miles in a demo derby at Freeport Speedway , followed the next week by a mint 1956 Pontiac Safari wagon. Or the 1965 Jaguar XK fastback I stuffed a blown big block in to run as a gasser Just old cars not worth anything. The only reason my Mopars stayed was because I was always going to race them again.
  6. The 07 is a Roush built 2.2 liter supercharged 170 BHP with 6 speed and traction loc diff, all kinds of handling crap and big 4 wheel discs. Never seen winter or rain and doesn't look loke an old mans car.

  9. Remember one small thing, toilet paper is septic safe and degrades when it is wet. picture it in the oil pick up or pump. Ford stated on our Focus and 2018 Fusion they will not warrentee engine issues if a Fram filer is used
  10. Quite a few over the road tractors when they reach replacement age get sold and either they either stay a tractor unit , BUT many are bought and the new owners put a dump body on it and either doesn't know or doesn't care that an OTR unit has a lighter chassis and lighter capacity rears (with a highway gear ratio), springs and steer axle. Usually end up twisted, bend and fatigue (stress) cracked
  11. Gives you the choice of running a pair at once, or either battery separately..If your parked and drawing power from one battery you can switch to the second battery to start the engine and then switch to the low battery to give it a charge while you're running
  12. I have 3 Marmons, they were aside from body parts off the shelf mechanical parts. Rears, brakes, trans and engines are / were all common items. What made Marmons were the fact the were hand assembled units. Only parts I've found hard to get are interior panels and some body trim. Paul
  13. Any Marine parts place has them, water proof too.
  14. The system is supposed to work on a hill either on the up or down side. Since most new "drivers" right foot everything that was why it came about. Got to protect the idiots.from them selves.
  15. Some what rare, Any 4 speed 65 to 69 Impala are rare.
  16. Hill Start Aid Over Ride warning light. Basically a hill holder system
  17. Both of the Impalas were Torch red with Black interiors and both has 2 1/4" exhaust to the bumpers with no mufflers. Had a nice rap at the top of each gear
  18. The block test checker is called a Combustion Leak Detector Kit. It has a fluid you add to it and if there is any compression gases in the coolant , the fluid turns to a yellow/ green color. Napa #BK7001006 or, Lisle #75500 and a few others make the kit, runs 40 / 50 dollars. If not than look to the compressor. If you buy one follow the instructions exactly. Paul
  19. At least it gets the kids making something with heir hands and developing some manual dexterity, instead of video games and texting.
  20. How long did it take to get used to those mirrors in your line of sight?
  21. Still in effect as far as I know with no major issues, but not 100% sure. Since 2010 Maine and Vermont truck pilot programs, which replaced Federal commercial-vehicle weight regulations with State limits on Interstate highways in those States. Public Law 111-117 also exempts Maine and Vermont from following Federal Bridge Formula B requirements mandated by Section 127 of Title 23, United States Code. The DOT organized a team comprised of several Federal and State agencies to assess the impacts of heavier truck weights on Interstate bridges and pavements in Maine and Vermont. The team includes representatives from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT), Maine State Police, the Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), and Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (Vermont DMV). The team specifically examined the following highways: Vermont I-89, I-91, and I-93; Maine I-95 from the Maine-New Hampshire border; Maine I-295 beginning at the turnpike south of Portsmouth and paralleling the turnpike until I-295 reconnects with the turnpike south of Augusta; Maine I-95 from the intersection of I-295 and the Maine Turnpike to the Canadian border near Houlton. As allowed by the statute, Maine and Vermont have chosen to apply their State commercial-vehicle weight laws to the Interstate System. Maine now allows tractors with semitrailers up to 100,000 pounds gross vehicle weight on six axles and tandem axle weights up to a maximum of 46,000 pounds for many commodities on the non-tolled Interstate highways. Tolled Interstate highways and a portion of free Interstate between the southerly terminus of the Maine Turnpike and the New Hampshire border were already exempt. Maine did not choose to allow other non-federally compliant State truck weights onto the Interstate System. Vermont allows all trucks legal on its State highway system onto its Interstate highways, including those that weigh up to a maximum gross vehicle weight of 99,000 pounds on six axles, and trucks with tandem axles that weigh up to a maximum of 36,000 pounds plus a 10 percent additional weight allowance, which allows a total of 39,600 pounds.
  22. Still have my 55 Bel Air. Pop raced D/gas from 1962 til I bought it from him in 1969. Still a gasser and in primer since 1964. Two cars I wish I still had was a 1963 Impala SS, 327 factory 4 speed and a 1965 Impala SS, 396 factory 4 speed. Auction will be advertised on here first and BMT members get first shot before auction. It will 10,000 plus pieces of auto/ truck literature, 6 Mopar drag cars, 11 motorcycles from 1933 to 1969, 75 or 80 trucks from 1955 to 1980, 5 containers of NOS truck parts from 1980 a down to 1919 and one 1975 NHRA certified 210 w.b 10/71 blown 454 Chevy BB/FD dragster last raced in 1980.
  23. Also read and heard that the Fusion cars will be dropped
  24. What exactly are "trailer emissions"? Tractor emissions per ton hauled? Tire rolling resistance? Aero kits? or is it reefer power units? Or is is CARB /EPA Fuzzy Science?
  25. Damn wish I had a use for it and it is a good thing it's a haul to get it. I really want a 1969 "Golden Jimmy" anniversary truck, but GMC only made 96 of them.
