  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I see the lower radiator hose is molded... What application does that hose fit? I'm doing the same swap.

    finally after 3 transmissions (found case cracked internally, a th400 with all gm parts built twice that would produce only 2 gears):af: , anyway, number three OK-manual valve body on the column-that should look different in traffic. So, it moves, since it was nice, thought I would post a pic with a hood on the car...about 6,000.00 in the whole mess...not bad for something to do while the Riv is out getting a facelift. Anxious to ride!!!

    Looks sweet dude.


    Looks like a "true cruiser mobile".
    (ya know, a true cruiser, only rides around in these cars with there socks on.)
    What kinda mileage do you get? will your radio get AM? Is your motor oil 10-40? Are you using flat washers on the Q-jet bolts? Does the tan interior stay 10% cooler than blue?
