I was on a jury where the guy who was rear ended and the insurance company couldn't make a deal. The guy was truly injured as shown by xrays and doctors and Chiropractors. We decided that Tylenol, Chiropractor and gym membership for the rest of his life was worth $50 grand! My late wife and I...

Somewhere I have my 1971 Superbird model kit.

Probably a high end car. Lots of money in those but still petty theft and not enough to kill over. When the Cat was stolen from my '92 B350 van the joke was on them. After 30 years there wasn't anything left inside! Problem for me was that it was the day before Carlisle and I had to cobble...

@Photon440 That's where I originally found it. My brain was thinking it may also have been used in the assembly hardware as well. I stand corrected!

@440 4 speed I never got to drive it. He traded it on a '71 Toyota Corona. THAT I did get to drive, speeding through Virginia on vacation. @Photon440 But I was thinking of it. I think the issue with Whitworth is more threads than hex. Then there's the German PG thread gauge. Loosely translated...

Not quite 30 years ago the company I worked for sent me to Brazil, twice. I asked them what measurements they used. They said both. I had to ask about the electric in the hotel room. There were sockets for both 110 volts 60 cycles and 220/50. I had to make sure before I plugged in my razor. At...

@Photon440 It probably had something to do with Cobras, GT40s and the FIA too. When I met my wife my father-in-law had a '65 Galaxie 500 XL 352, C6 which I saw my mother-in-law using all it's available horsepower coming off a light!

I know of 2 places that can do this work. I think if I owned the car I would ask that the shop use as many of the original bits as possible. The one shop is near me. I was with a group that took a tour. He was working on an AC Bristol, a Hooper bodied Rolls that had been *** ended and a Lambo...

In 1971 Mother Mopar gave us the 360. But now it's a 5.9 and the 318 is now a 5.2 and, of all things my Max is a 7 Litre, but that's a Ford! I was looking for something at the NAPA store and the conversation went "7 litre?" "Yes" "Go big or not at all"! Then they bring back the Hemi. But instead...

But what about the Metric Stillson? Dad always said to have a miniature pipe wrench. You never know....

I always thought speed was in Furlongs per Fortnight! I had a Mercedes Diesel where the oil pressure gauge read in Bars. It showed 3 bars which wasn't hard to find 3 bars where I lived! I have a 1992 Dodge B350 1 ton Church Van. If it bolts to the motor, trans or diff it's SAE everything else...

My friend's old '68 Peterbilt had a 335 and the Freightliner Cab Over we had 40 years ago had a 350. Those are the Cummins sounds I hear when I think of big rigs. I have 8MM home movies of riding in the Peterbilt and I can still hear it! My brother on the other hand hears 425 Cats!

When Tesla came out with the tractor trailer I made the comment that I would need earphones with the music of a 350 Cummins in the background!

My '64 Dodge wagon had a shifter that long and the ashtray would eat my knuckles on a third gear shift!

Plus, I'm as close as I will ever get with the Max. He has a Manual Shift, Reverse Pattern TorqueFlite!

When I met my wife I couldn't drive a stick. I was 17. I'd been driving for 9 months. My parents had a '62 Lancer 2 door sedan, 170, 3 speed column shift. I tried to teach myself to no avail. My wife tried to teach me but didn't like the way I drove her car. The boyfriend of the girl up the...

Back in the day my wife would make fun of guys with muscle cars and "Ratamatics" as she called them!

My late wife owned 5 cars in her life, all sticks. The first one was a '68 Toyota Corona 3 speed column shifter bench seat car. She knew how to drive a stick before I knew how to drive! I still have it. She'd become a Subaru girl and the last 2, a '93 Legacy and an '01 Forester, she had to fight...

Yes, that is correct. I didn't like the way the system sounded so I took them off. The cops didn't like THAT! The sound with the pipes was what I call "Blat". I had thrush mufflers. I had the same car as yours only a 6 passenger. Fury, same color, same interior, 318, TF, power steering and...

I believe my friend's car was a bench seat. And 50 years ago I did parts department swaps with the same '66 383 into a '64 Dodge 440 wagon that was a 318, 4 barrel, A833. I know, they didn't build that one either. It was correct down to the tailpipes except for the bell housing. Then I attached...
