Kurt... cut it out.....:spank: Don't make me take your wagon privilages away completely :rant: Beth p
I thought thats what happened when I sold it :laugh: I just hate not having a big block car anymore and with the Triumph in pieces I'm just not having any fun
Whatdoyouknow I own that wagon now. Have installed a 7004r trans and done some other debugging. Hope to redo the body in the next few years. A fun car heres a pic in her new home.
Bruce said it went to Ohio. I wish I could have driven it more. I think it had a few gremlins in it. A OD will be nice in that car. The guy I bought it from has a clean gate for it if you go that route. The carb was off of a 69 350 and should have been jetted. Like I said I got it running, did the exhaust, and then the trade deal came along, so I grabbed it. Best of luck with it. I will see if I can find a pic of it when I got it with the champ 500 wheels on it, electric fans, and all the hot rod stuff. Tony
Tony The car sure needs that gate but the check-book says no. If the guy starts complaining about it being in his way or talks about getting rid of it let me know. That OD is the best thing I ever did for a GS. I want one in my convertible now. The next upgrade for the wagon is a 12-bolt posi thats laying in the barn. Just have to decide what gear to put in. It is a 4:11 now and thats more than I want. Have also been thinking about a set of torque thrust D wheels for it. Mabye I should start buying lottery tickets. John
John, I put 3:90's in my wagon with the 200r4 and I am really happy with it. In lock up it glides down the road. I thought 4:10's were a final drive of 2:73 with the 700R. It may worth a try. Tony
According to the gear chart the tranny shop has heres what you get with a 4:11 and a 700 1st 12:58 2nd 6:70 3rd 4:11 4th 2:88. That sounds good to me as 2:73 was the stock gear in a lot of Electras My original plan when I got the rear was to put it in as is and see how it did but when I took it apart to put seals in the wear pattern on the ring gear didnt look so good and it has way too much back-lash. Decided I might just as well rebuild it out of the car and now is the time to pick the gear. I want to get the code off the axel in the car to find out for sure what it has now and go from there as it is not too bad now. What is youre rpm at 70 mph with the 3:90? John
'69 Sportwagon and '70 Skylark Belle still looks pretty good despite siutting outside for 4 years in the hot AZ sun. I painted her myself. The Skylark gets the garage..as well as my wife's Roadmaster. Belle and my Miata have to sit outside!
Mike,That is too weird we both have a yellow Sportwagon and a Katelyn. My daughter claims the wagon as hers. She is only 6 but that car is hers. Tim
Tim, I was going to congratulate you on your Sportwagon. Love the color. The bright sunlight kind of washed out the color in mine, but you can tell what color it is. My 3 youngest love Belle, my oldest is 15 and doesn't understand what "cool" really is...lol.
My late fathers 65 sky-top Saddly I may have to put her up for sale with-in a month or two May have to move and illness is slowing me down
Just for fun I looked up my pic. on :Comp: www.norwalkraceway.com (jordan photosports)link - at-BPG Nationals 2005 The wagon's on page 58 pulling the front end hard :eek2: &56 :blast:
