Chances are I have a majority of the parts on the inside - see this thread for more info: http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/119200-part-out-76-22-body-shell-is-gone/ The HVAC box is one large module for the most part; blower sits on the passenger side, and hoses route AC to the dash vents.

What he said; I have all the stuff out of my 76, but not sure how that would work in your car without a lot of fabrication. You can find my "76 part out" in the parts for sale area

Guess I'm spoiled - hour and a half drive and I can be on the doorstep of Jeg's; 3 hours and at Summit. Want me to drive up and smack someone for ya?

Thanks - The garage is 40x60, 12' ceilings; it was there when we bought the house (ok, it ws the major deciding factor on the house) It's my "doghouse" if needed too - has a bathroom, gas furnace, washer, dryer, fridge, microwave, satellite radio, internet - and all the cars and tools. As far as emblems on the Shelby - I'll try and get down there and get a pic for ya

Actually, the one on the left is a '07 Shelby GT350 - belongs to my boss, who is currently garageless. And yes, it's a real honest to goodness Shelby. If it makes everyone feel better, here's a pic where you can at least see the nose of the Z on the other side of the garage (ignore the dog, he's a doofus): And off to the right is a 65 Fairlane, belongs to one of the guys who works for me (see a trend here? I seem to have the communal garage)

another project car! Not a Z, but it's what the wife has been wanting for years, and the price was right (free!)

Thanks for the reminder to replace one of mine - neighbor's Jeep decided to do an impression of a hibachi a few weeks ago, my garage was the closest extinguishing device. Managed to get the fire out, but the Jeep didn't survive - we had it out by the time the FD got there.

Mike; Pickings are pretty slim in my area, but you may find some options here if willing to travel: http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=342 (hopefully it doesn't require a login) I found my truck on there (2003 crewcab longbed dually DMAX) a couple years ago, picked it up with some healthy mileage for $16K Like most forums, they have some drama, but shouldn't be too hard for you to weed through the trash.

While I don't agree with the way the idea was brought up (Ron brings up some good points about tact and the "right way" to address issues); I think it may be a good concept. It is different than what is shown at the bottom of threads now ( the similar threads list) - instead, it adds a button on the "Post new topic" screen which allows for a quick search to see if similar topics have been posted. I know it is in use on TDIClub forums (also running vbulletin), so it may be an easy addition. Here's a screenshot of where the button would end up:

IIRC, you almost HAVE to buy them from a Swagelok supplier, unless you happen to find them on eBay or some such place - I don't think Grainger or McMaster sell them? Have you tried a supplier search at http://www.swagelok.com just for good measure? If nothing else, it will at least get you the Swagelok part number, then you can try searching for those

Dang, wish I had seen this a couple weeks ago - we just got back from Sturgis We actually went out a week early, ended up making a side trip out to Yellowstone on the bikes - all total, put down about 2000 miles in less than 2 weeks We were out at the "Chip" - that place was downright packed

If it's anything like mine was, it has a lot to do with all the circuitry involved in the fuel pump: First there is the microswitch in the AFM (closes when the AFM sees flow) - mine was bypassed by cutting those 2 wires and splicing Then it all has to trigger the fuel pump relay (mine was under the passenger seat, so I imagine that's fairly common) - mine worked, but I've seen a couple where the AFM switch was bad, so the relay wouldn't close; rather than troubleshoot and repair properly, most people trace the circuit as far as the passenger side relay and just jumper it out somehow Not the best way to do it, but I guess it works?

Stock L28 head? IIRC, the manifold for the carbs isn't going to seal right due to the reliefs cut into the head for the injectors - but I could be wrong?
