  1. I have one very similar to that I bought from Sears back in the day. It was like $77 then. Never mounted. It has some cracking on the backside. Been thinking of selling it cheap or throwing it out. http://www.flickr.com/photos/17725075@N08/
  2. 1971 Plymouth Duster. 340, .030 over, hemi grind cam, headers, torker intake,direct connection ignition, thermoquad,727, 3.23 positraction. Usually a winner and never beaten off the line.
  3. I had a 1971 Plymouth Duster 340. No where near stock. Talk about quick!! Anyway, I had a velocity stack on the carb and I was installing a pro comp hood scoop. Now the velocity stack just touched the hood. My problem was where to cut the hood to match the location of the carb. Into the kitchen I go. Get peanut butter and smear all around the horn of the stack. Close hood. Open. Perfect "marks" on where to cut.
  4. Those in the picture are Interpart Louvres. The other "rounded" kind that fit over the outside of the glass are the dealer installed option.
  5. I second Greyhound. I recently shipped a 280z dash from Fort Worth to New Jersey. UPS wanted $120. Greyhound did it for $55. Of course the other party had to drive an hour to pick up....but not a problem if you live near a city.
  6. Yup, they be some idiots up this way......probably some quality parent who took their kids to the parade and then had the opportunity to show how they do Christmas shopping ..... will keep an eye out in this area
  7. Phantom Too late to try soaker hoses...getting ready to drop $8k+ on my foundation. I like your style though. I already have a complaint in with TX utilities commision. I just reason that since it was their feeder line causing the problem I should not pay...we will see. July the 4th I had all my sewer lines back up and I believed it was due to the streets I live on (corner lot) being reconstructed. City balked and said no way. Then said maybe and they would get to it in about 3-days. We called the EPA and told them that the city (not Ft. Worth BTW) was knowingly contaminating the water table. Had a crew out the next day (Sat) repairing it. Turned out during the construction they did not hook my house up to the new mains.....morons. Not that I complain much...but when I believe I am right or have nothing to lose, why not. Been lurking here a while. Damn Z bug bit again and hopefully this fall and spring will start on my 77Z that has been in my garage for 10 years. also gave my 71Z to my son. He is in Germany presently and we have budgeted 10 thousand to get it in pretty good shape.
  8. Buried utilities are nice but not perfect. I live in S. Fort Worth and with the drought my power line is sinking and pulling my meter off the wall. TXU just gave me 10 days to fix or they shut the power off. So here I sit waiting for the electrician to call back. Maybe if I hook a Z up to the line I can pull it out some??
