The proper stone is a precision ground machinists stone... You'll never use it enough to justify the cost... A good knife sharpening stone that's still flat, not one that's seen years of use would be fine for what you are doing... My machinists stones were close to $200... Not worth it for a...

Do not shim the flywheel... First hit all the mating surfaces with a stone, Do you have a sharpening stone that's still flat?, probably best to use the edge of the stone so it hasn't been worn concave... Stone the surfaces, put the bolts in & torque fully to spec, them recheck the runout... If...

You live at the bottom of the best stretch... From Morro Bay up is awesome... The inland stretch is nothing special and once you return to the coast the traffic makes the drive torture...

Yup, Real T/A is the possible exception... Guys building clones won't but Daddy Warbucks building a real T/A... Maybe...

We've done exactly that sort of thing in the past... Unfortunately this time it's not a problem created at the local level... The local DMV on the first visit gave my friend plates & stickers, told him everything was cool, he should see his title the mail in about a month.. Five weeks & no title...

We may wind up having to reach out to them, Today we spoke with Stellantis customer assistance, which I knew was a waste of time, but it's documented so... Spoke with a rep from Cal Air Resources Board, waste of time, but he said the person at DMV is an idiot, the car is exempt.... Doesn't...

Yeah, if you can buy a reproduction for less than a grand only a fool with a liquid cooled wallet would buy that.....

Didn't realize they had been reproduced...

Probably the most ridiculous request ever.... So a friend has a 69 Roadrunner he's trying to get licensed... California DMV has done their VIN verification, but in the course of that they did something I've never seen them do before, they checked for an emissions sticker & it was missing... Now...

120 MPH sweep... R/T if not optioned with the Rally cluster got a 150 MPH sweep...

Yeah, everybody knows, but still Frank remembers how it use to be & expects it to still be that way....But this isn't the California from thirty years ago...

He hauled it down to DMV today... So they could find more ways to make him jump through hoops.... He made the mistake of dealing while the local DMV... I tried to warn him, he's getting a better understanding of Marvin Heemeyer's (Killdozer) mindset...

FWIW A buddy had the same carb, sold it three years ago for $4500.... So maybe he's not totally crazy... They only built a little over 600 69 Trans Ams so the hood is a very rare piece... Mopars aren't the only outrageously expensive muscle cars...
