Hopefully I can finish restoring my heater box this weekend

Let us hope since you cannot survive below 80 degrees.

I don't think so. If the impact was enough to crack the case who knows what else got malfed

Did the use the NP205 still? Sweet case... I'm stuck with a 208. Not great but works better then those electric jobbers.

Only the diesel used the NP205 that late. My 1972 has an NP205 and wish that was what this had, but no.

Ran into a group of those up on the Central Coast. Every cool.

unfortunately, only one Norton showed up. Something about British bikes + 100 degree temps = melted pistons. :-\

Is it a factory alarm?

Grognard · « **Reply #198 on:** 01 June 2011, 22:25:09 »

yep.
local mechanic says that based on the vee history, the car is probably a Norfolk "almost flooded"
Vees get swamped during heavy rains, then are cleaned up and resold before flood damage is readily apparent.
Norfolk used car community has a reputation and history of doing this.

Other than just suffering with the problems until I can replace the car....
suggestions?

Or is there a market for people looking for a good 3.2L V6 and tranny?

Damage Inc. · « **Reply #199 on:** 02 June 2011, 08:13:34 »

if its a flooded out car, check the connectors for corrosion.

MoparMessiah · « **Reply #200 on:** 02 June 2011, 09:27:34 »

I would disconnect and reconnect the switch in the door

Doing a brake analysis/repair/overhaul.

It's killing me, 17" vacuum operated drum brakes. :o #P

MoparMessiah · « **Reply #206 on:** 18 June 2011, 14:55:16 »

Well I'm working on converting my 75 Trail Duster to 93 drivetrain.

The 93 is completely apart. Got the fuel lines, under body wiring and the fuel tank in to the 75. Had to re-wire the taillamps.

I come back and find the auto hall thread deep sixed?

What's wrong with you people!

Anyways, does anybody want to pick up a pair of vans, '64 and '65 dodge 100 town panels - one is parts, the other is doable without a lot of cancer but needs lovin' from someone.

Massive engine bays; and I just happen to have a 5.7liter hemi from a dodge ram that was pulled in working condition (all that's wrong is one of the engine mount ears on the block was knocked off).

Pics are entirely possible...

We've also got a Plymouth wagon, 64, I think, but its in need of serious lovin - we bought floorboards, if you get my drift.

Keep posts like this out of here this is not the little nickel or auto trader. It's okay to describe your rides/project cars but once you say does anyone want or are interested in I have to step in and warnings could be the result. [copper]

MoparMessiah · « **Reply #209 on:** 30 December 2011, 12:53:05 »

Well I'll give some updates:

My 99 W2500 Quad Cab Cummins Turbo Diesel just hit 200,000 miles.

I've got the 93 360 MPI engine running in my 1975 Trailduster. Need to replace the transmission dipstick tube O ring and decide how I want to make the front axle part time.

The 1971 Challenger R/T is coming along slowly. The undercoating has been applied. We currently struggling to get the vinyl top on because it's just to cold. Finished painting the dash frame so need to put that back together. The transmission and sure grip unit should be back in about two weeks.

On a sad note my Porsche 944 Turbo has decided it doesn't want to start - haven't figured out why.
