Good haul, possibly a record for odd and valuable stuff.

1- HF parts washer. I suspect the pump is bad. I think I have one.

2- four Kicker brand 6.5" speakers. At least 2 pass the cone test.

3- a three barrel carb (?), or what's left of one.

4- an AutoMeter tach with shift light.

5- five axle shafts. I think they are ford 9"

6- an Edelbrock sbc water pump

7- a twin turbo intake with the turbos still attached. I think they are RX-7.IMG_20170729_183717.jpg IMG_20170729_183727.jpg

Knowing the guy I think tossed these, there's nothing wrong with the turbo setup, just replaced by a much larger one.
 
My dad brought home and gave me a beautiful OLD 100lb. blacksmith anvil and a SUPER cool old power hacksaw that he found in the dumpster where he worked. The power hacksaw has to be from the '20's or '30's. It operates like an old locomotive, with a large flywheel operating an arm attached to a hacksaw. It was black with gold pinstriping, like a Singer sewing machine. I still cherish both. But why someone would throw them in a dumpster still baffles me.
 
Never found anything that good, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
:lol:
 
Now all I need is a draw through intake (might be able to fab one), and a "Unicorn" exhaust manifold.
 
I found a roll of duct tape on the side of the road today. Later saw a little Pontiac broke down up the road with a missing wheel. Dont know if the two events were related but i kept the tape...
