    Hey...what's the big idea..??

    Oh, I could put bushings in that T-plate if you wanted to restore it. Takes about 45 minutes or so...as long as your shafts are not chewed up.

    Oznium.com I just realized I had not mentioned the name. And strange, nobody asked.

    Dome light went cross-eyed.

    Tad: it takes about 2 1/2 "dabs" to make a tad. 5 tads makes a skoosh. 12 skoosks make a passle. And a Goo-goble is more than can be defined. I bet you thought I couldn't do that, didn't ya?

    These are a warm white. Replicates the color of the original but just a tad brighter....maybe, 2 tads.

    There have been times, while driving at night, when she needed the dome light on as. And it was either in my old 73 Audi or one of our Accords, that we had a dome light on each side. One for driver and one for passenger. I think there was one for the backsest as well. That brings us back to a...

    True, but if you set the part in the yard, just right, the reflection off the chrome would light the inside...mostly.

    The exhaust pipe kit was a hilarious show. I turned the corner to the last rack isle and I'm just moseying down the isle. I spots the 18" wide X 4ft long box and it's got a whole lot of 2-1/2" stainless tubing in it. I looks around like I'm about to slip the whole thing under my sleeveless...

    I did that with my exhaust. After I got the truck last fall, I started a list of what I wanted to replace. Headers, pipes and muffles were on the list. When the first set of headers were setting on the rack, I had them in hand. Black, 3" long tube $60. I had them in hand, and I put them back. I...

    Ya know, I've thought about how a guy could scope out what others might need. It would be difficult to have a "santa's list" when ya walk in and then get paid for the item. The money grubbing fed has ruined electronic money transfers. 1099 my rear end! And then what happens if some cat changes...

    Yea, it's a 2 edged sword. Either learn restraint or go home busted. Honestly, I walk out empty handed more times than scoring a find. It's the thrill of the hunt. It's like walking a rummage sale in A/C.

    In another post I mentioned all the goodies at the local candy store (Summit Racing). And they have this "Demo" section. The Demo section is where parts that have been EITHER: purchased and rrturned. (May or may not have been bolted or tack welded on and then removed and returned. OR, Summit has...

    Hey...what's the big idea..??

    This spring, thru my son-in-law, I met an old GM mechanic. Knows QJs like the back of his hand. He agreed to allow me to assist him in rebuilding my original QJ. It took about 4 hours (I'm sure I slowed him down). I had read 3 or 4 books on QJ's over the winter, and had rebuilt one before going...

    I like Cliff's book on the QJs and he's only about a 3 hour drive from me.

    Hey...what's the big idea..??

    Off the top of my head I really couldn't think of a better title...sorry. So, is there a section in here for the lovers of Quadrajets? And before ya start bashing them, yes, I am familiar with the issues they had in the early 70's. But after 74'-75' the issues were resolved. And just because a...

    Whirling Sound While AC is Turned On, Matches Up With RPM

    A/C off...no whine. A/C on...whine. Might be compressor or compressor bearings. If A/C on = whine, compressor is on borrowed time. Ohh, that rhymes....kewl..

    Tires Plus says my Dually tires are too heavy to balance.

    When I get responses from the so called, "professionals", I just look at them and say, "You must think I'm some kind of an idiot." "You might sell that snit to somebody else, but daddy didn't raise no idiot." If they are brazin enuf to try and pull crap like that, I got no problem calling them...

    It has a voice....

    Oh yea, and there are a couple of rear axles there too. Diffs, Lowering kits, spindles, air bags, springs, dizzys, coil overs, instrument gauges. Radiators are all in a rack of their own. It's a freaking candy store...and a curse to live so close.

    I Think they do. Not sure. But I've seen blocks, heads, intakes, carbs, oil pans, timing chain sets, and headers (obviously). I see cams, pistons, rods, tappets, rockers, clutches, and flywheels almost everytime I go. They had a couple large tubs/bins of flex plates for $10 each. Brand new...

    Oh the demo rack has all the prices marked down at least 1/3. Price on box was $160.

    In an effort to find a model specific user manual, I just typed in the model number on the side of the box. When the result popped up, I was rolling on the floor. I stuck a 60's Ford retro radio in my 78 C-10... Oh! The heartbreak of it all...! Naaawww...not really. I'm tickled. That radio...
