I have noticed this also on at least 2 cars I have with aluminum intakes. The engines start and run a little rough for a while until the motor gets some heat built up in it. So I usually don’t block them completely off to help this speed up some.
I doubt the '65 2%r's had an aluminum dash, they were assembled with all the parts that were on the 10/15 cars, except for the obvious front fenders, although even the 2% were still made of glass. And then immediately converted after Pomona
I didn't read about adding weight but have been known to remove some one area of the car to another....other than that, I never added weight anywhere!!!
I grew up on a poor a$$ farm in Montana. When I was a kid I really liked running the tractors, we had 2 old Allis Chalmers units, I guess they kinda imprinted on me. Now I have 4 Allis Chalmers and 1 International 300 utility. I bought them all cheap in broken non running condition. I use...
Pesky work is always getting in the way. But without it I can't afford to work on the car, what a conundrum haha. I am very excited to get it back into the assembly phase, that is where I am much more comfortable. I did a full teardown and refurb of the engine bay on my '59 Chevy and it was...
for those who don't know....... Rich and I are about 3 miles apart. I always knew he was there as I would spot a Mopar in the yard from time to time. We finally met 2 years ago.
The first time I walked into his garage, I saw that! :eek: :eek::eek::drinks:
Yes, I did mention the aluminum dash frames. I actually got to see one of them once at The Nationals in the early 90's.
There were allegedly only four to eight of them made for the 2% FX cars of '64 and '65.
The first four aluminum dash frames were installed at various time points on the '64 2%...
My great grandfather on my mom's side was named Gerlando.
I had a great grandma named Flora Bell(we called her Nanny).
Nanny's grandmother's name was Weltha(she'd be my great-great-great grandma).
On my dad's side, my great grandfather's name was Jean Baptiste (French for John the Baptist).
The true Bad Boys were the 63 Tempests (including a wagon or two) with the super duty 421s and the full size poncho rearends swapped in.(real 63 tempests used a wimpy transaxle, rubber driveshaft, and independent rear). I think there were only a few made (less than ten?) and immediately banned...
There were two of them and Willie was getting blessed by someone at Chrysler with some parts and maybe engines. Kind of a west Coast version of Detroit's "Silver Bullet"
I knew Willie well enough to talk shop with him several times over the years.
He also told me that the NYC street racing...
