I'm going to pull an Obama on this vote as well... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Meh. I've got a Wal-Mart glove and $30 cleats on sale at Dick's...plus the only bat I've swung around since last season resides beneath my pants zipper. I'm also doing a church co-ed league on Sunday afternoons. Believe me when I say that league can be just as competitive as Berliner Fields sometimes.

Wow. You're not kidding. That only took me 2 minutes to find on Google. Unless he's restoring or selling...that many military vehicles is nature's way of saying "STAY AWAY FROM ME...I AM DANGEROUS".

This is the silliest thread topic I've seen on CR in years. Love ya, Buck. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

http://www.columbuscarsandcoffee.net 8am to 12pm - Cup O'Joe, Lennox Town Center Cruise from Easton @ 8:40am I was in Colorado last week, but will definitely be there on Saturday. Cleetus IV! Tell your friends...spread the word on other forums, please!

Wow...that's scarily accurate from what I hear on CNN or Fox News. Alex, good to hear from you! :thumbup:

I was LOLing at the thought of you bringing it to Cars and Coffee...it would be awesome, but your fuel bill would likely be $30 alone from Marengo to OSU area!

I returned the Accel coil to Advance, got mah dollhairs back. Met with Jeff (gt-titan) last night around 9:30 to pick up his used MSD coil. Threw it in and cranked it over just as the Indians beat the Royals 4-3 It was a little chilly, but the engine immediately fired up. Didn't run for more than a second because I didn't give it any gas, and there's no cold-weather startup provisions in the intake or carbureator. Turned the key off and started again...immediate firing. That was enough for one night; with no muffler, I still didn't want any of my neighbors - or family! - calling the cops for the noise ordinance violation. I'm happy with the knowledge that the Motorcraft (possibly orig equipment from 1982?) coil was likely very weak. If I still have ignition problems tonight when I take it for a drive to softball, I'll clean all the grounds and connections before replacing any parts...I have a feeling that some emery paper will do wonders to these corroded electrical connections. Jeff, if you're reading this...thanks again!

Great pics usually start with great subject material. Awesome car as always, Tim!

I use a private guy - Scott Epelbaum - who set up my home for $26 a month, nothing up front. Was originally $25 but it went up a dollar once in the last 4 years. My house already had an old '80s Amex Warner security system for doors and windows, but he tested all the contact points and wiring and everything was good. Gemini system, cell phone communication with a battery back-up (since I don't have a landline phone at home), fire/smoke, and a pet-sensitive motion sensor in the main entrance/hallway. He was recommended to me from my bro-in-law, and I've since recommended him to a few other friends who have been very pleased.

I am playing on a Tues/Weds night men's league that just started last week. i was out in Colorado, and the team actually had to forfeit due to lack of players. PM me and I'll add you to the roster. Great group of guys when I played a couple of times last year. It is competitive but fun: we bring our A-game but don't act like dicks at the same time. Somehow, we still win games.

+1. It will be interesting to see how ICE evolves over the next few years...with technology leapfrogging itself so quickly, I don't understand putting a ton of money into Navigation/media control when phones/Bluetooth do just as good of a job for $2k+ cheaper!

Got back from Colorado on Saturday night, dickerfanickered with it on Sunday. It wouldn't idle because I had an unused vacuum barb sucking in atmosphere under the carb. D'OH!!! Now it idles well. It was a little lumpy but I let it idle for a half hour and it smoothed out really nicely. Still some bad gas from last fall being burnt? The big pain in the arse is that the new Accel coil wouldn't spark. I put the old coil on and it woudn't spark either. Cleaned off the terminals with a wire brush and tested the + lead to the coil. It would go from 11.9V to 0.04V. Very inconsistent. I would crank it and crank it without it catching, then turn the key off and it would kick for a split second. Then, I'd crank it again and it comes to life. Tonight, I cycled the ignition a few times until I got a crank that also kicked off. If I don't turn the ignition on and off until I get a crank that fires the spark plugs, it'll just crank and crank without any catching. After it got warmed up really well, I turned the ignition off and then immediately cranked it again. Nothing. Fully warmed up engine and a second of being off, and it won't start again. I'm guessing it might be a bad ground, as the dashboard's "FASTEN SEAT BELT" light stays illuminated the entire time the truck is running...even when the seatbelt is clicked! Otherwise, I'm not sure where the ignition problem lies ...

Awesome looking Firechicken. Welcome to the site! :thumbup:

Hey, Matt...thanks for the offer, but I only need one and ideally something cheaper...

$800?!?!1? Nice buy!!! :thumbup:

Will keep it for a swap out eventually, but not going to need it for my Ford for the next couple of years. If I can sell it that's a good thing. Granny-gear 1st, synchronized 2nd-4th gears. Came with the '82 Ford F100 I bought. Fits '70s to mid-'80s F150, F250 Ford trucks with the Z-link (non-hydraulic) clutch. Ford bellhousing, bolts to 6cyl and V8 engines. Cleaned, inspected, minor repairs (reverse switch) by MD Transmission in Delaware. Looking to get $200 for it. Beefy, rugged 4-speed manual for your Ford truck!

Looking for a Flowmaster/Magnaflow chambered-style or glasspack-style muffler. This is for my bored-out Ford 300 6cyl. Center inlet, 2.5" ID. Can be as long as 24" or more. The cheaper the better!

"Sanctioned"? You need approval from a governing body to get-together with other car guys for coffee? :lolguy: First rule of Cars and Coffee is...you don't talk about Cars and Coffee. Second rule of C&C is... YOU DO NOT TAWK ABOUT CARS AND COFFEE :lolguy:

I extend an 'olive branch' to you as well, David! Feel free to come out to the "other" Columbus Cars and Coffee that goes on EVERY WEEKEND. :thumbup:

Incredible. Looks great, Rich. I didn't know Jasmin does work with Andy...that's really cool and the results are amazing. As a VW guy, I am admiring the miraculously clear headlights as well!

Wow...those are some badarse cars!
