I was born in 1961. You're 10 yrs older than I am. You don't look too bad for a card carrying member of AARP.

Roger. I'll put the carb acquisition into a holding pattern until you give clearance. Can you post pics of the parts that are needed? I think you said shaft housing and end plate. I'll do some rooting around and see what I can find.

I think I'm going to Pomona to the Swapmeet on Sunday. I'll be looking for these parts, among other things. I'll probably take my wife's VW bus and try to sell it there. Anyone wanna go?

The best deals are always first thing in the morning. I'll be there with the VW first thing, but I'll be there till early afternoon unless someone buys the bus.

Define "first thing in the morning". BTW, is that the one where they have the Vette corral. :huh:

Yup. First thing means I'm usually there by 6.

Mmm, bed time. . . I give it 50/50. Can you get new bits there as well? Depending on how some other things shake out, maybe I'll get some ignition stuff, starter, rear sump pan, pickup, etc. While Ron has the car for caging I'd like to kick the ball as far down field as possible for engine stuff.

All the GOOD stuff is long gone at Pomona, or it's stupid money.
You can buy a brand new MSD streetfire HEI for $150 at Summit.
Starter, you get one cheap at the Zone, and forfeit the $10 core charge
Pan? The cheap Chinese chrome ones leak like sieves.
Get a used Milodon or Canton or Moroso or Hamburger on the bay, or you MIGHT find one at Pomona
. You can always add trap doors and a deep sump to a stocker for little $$$. Melling oil pumps and HV pickups are $40 all day at Top's.

Thanks for the heads up bird. What's Top's though?
