I got an Amazon ""new" carb last year for my Toro. I couldn't get it to run so I pulled the bowl and found so much varnish that the bowl was full and hard as a rock. It was an old carb someone threw in the cleaner and sold as new.

This is the block I'm building for the Laser. 30k rebuild, and it is really clean. I'll dingle ball the cylinders to get a nice cross hatch but the passages and everything are great. I've got to order rings and bearings and it's ready to start putting together. In keeping with the period...

The interior on the TC was a mess, but cleaned up OK for a cruiser.

The damage to the TC

I did see that one. Looks pretty clean. I did drag another one home. 89 Shelby Z, T Tops, 5 speed, red leather interior... and unfortunately no title. I'm going to try to recover the title, but for now the block will go into the TC (the kid ran the TC out of oil, threw a rod and toasted the...

Yeah. I found out today that he's the previous owner of this TC as well. Explains why mechanically it's so clean lol.

I just showed that to my son (I've given the LeBaron to him to build). The Lancer is a Shelby, the Daytona is a Turbo Z as well. I know someone who has gone down and looked at them. If the boy picks up the Lancer that will be the drive train for his car.

This one is going to be a keeper. I'm treating it like a budget resto. It's too good and too weird for parts. That's my problem, I keep bringing them home but they are too good to part out lol. No rust, no dents just a bit of elbow grease hopefully

Damn it.... :D. 89 Chrysler TC by Maserati. Doesn't run but low miles, 63000 I believe. No rust, I think I can cut and buff the paint. Mechanically very clean. The interior is filthy, but not in too bad of shape. T2 2.2 Turbo car. This engine color combination is 1 of 781. Even has the factory...

I want to share this here because it's important. I've suffered from severe depression for years as I've tried to deal with my disabilities. I tried to deal with it myself, and say "everything is going to be ok", but it's fine to need help. If you can't get yourself help you can't be there to...

The generic 10 bar AFR gauge that I had installed worked fine and seemed to read right, but occasionally would not read correctly at all. The signal was also filtered. I'm sure it was done so you could read the gauge more easily with out it bouncing up and down. The issue with this is that there...

The core is about 16x9 and 2 inches deep. He said it was modified for a turbo Miata, but the inlet and outlet are in good spots to set it up how I want (hopefully) they are both 2.25 inches. I will roll a bead on the side with the 90 before installing and give it a good clean/leak check

Picked up an intercooler for the build. A bit bigger than twice the size of the factory one, and I think I can work with the input/outputs without much modification.

Braved the cold to drop the oil and inspect. No metallic material to speak of, the grey is moly from the assembly lube. We're still going to drop the pan and open the filter to make sure nothing is amiss, but I think the passage to the gauge fitting probably got some assembly lube in it. I...

I went on a tour several years ago. Lots of history going from way back until modern times. We had an older gentleman who said he had camped at danger cave years ago when he was a child and his family was moving across the country looking for work. It's kind of cool to have a site that has been...

Lebaron put away for the winter.

Highs and lows today. Got everything buttoned up on the son's truck. Fought some little stuff like failed electric fuel pump and some leaks here and there, a few wiring fixes, dead battery, normal stuff. Eyeballed the timing cranked it and it fired right up with no hesitation. Started the cam...

So I am eventually putting an AX 15 in my Power Wagon. I want a better shifting transmission with OD for the truck. I have a 4wd AX 15 from a Cherokee, but the truck is set up with a divorced 205 which I would like to keep. Does anyone know of a 2wd AX15 laying around that may want to trade...

So we are getting ready to get the 75 fires and break in the cam (hopefully lol) engine builds 50psi oil pressure with the drill, and we are going to jam this weekend to button the engine up the rest of the way and get it running. The 73 is running good, but it's resigned to around town duty...
