I am looking forward to the satisfying interior improvement.

Shows what I used to know lol.

That’s absolutely wild. I think the owners took advantage of a photo op for them. I mean I do go there often. Edit. Dug deeper and saw that someone who was there the same time I was took those pics and posted them. Still really cool.

We’re already at that point in tech? Damn. Next is zettabytes.

Heyyy AMC salvage is on there.

Its Jeep basically giving us all the wave. Kinda bothered by their post really.

Lol exactly. Buy a special tool and only use it once.

Not necessarily, that screw just adjusts the tension of the spring that pushes on the diaphragm. Changing the diaphragm doesnt mean you have to adjust it for pressure. Now if you had to change the spring and that little metal bowl thing, then I would imagine it would need to be adjusted properly. No problem. Hopefully all your problems will be solved. If you do the fuel pressure gauge, let me know what all you cobbled together for it as I'd like to have it when diagnosing issues.

Sounds like a plan. So get this. My original throttle body had the solder missing, not sure why but any service history with my truck before me and my grandfather is unknown. I had a second throttle body in which I used to swap because I broke one of the injector screws off in the body and it had the solder still over that screw. So I left it alone, I often think I should’ve put my original one on the swapped bowl but I figured it was done right and the pressure ought to be what it should be. Haven’t had any issues. Now what I’d like is to have a pressure gauge to screw into the throttle body so I can always see the pressure.

I remember using the one above it and swapped it for a solid one. I bet if you ran your engine right now, you’ll hear a high pitched vac leak right at the base of the TB. I guessed at the time I did mine and thought it didn’t matter because I thought the base of the TB was solid until I started her up after installing the TB.

Wow. That’s gnarly with years of neglect. Mine wasn’t even that dirty when I rebuilt the body. Did you put the right throttle body gasket on? I accidentally put the wrong one on and had a vac leak at the little pin hole closest to the drivers side. But that’s fixed now.

I wonder if they pressure regulator is failing. Have you ran the truck long enough to see if there’s any leaks around the body?

Lots of guys I’ve spoken to have said they wished they got their eagle but there’s nothin wrong with that. The journey is the best part. My biggest regret is not fillin up the sash. I had more partial merit badges than I should’ve had. But problem was was finding counselors for them and completing them.

Most current part number. I have the kit actually sitting in my parts. I asked a while back if anyone had tried to install the newer style hinges and didnt get anywhere.

I kinda like that set up. Now if the flooring wasnt black vinyl then I could probably see an overabundance of the blue.

Theres none, Chrysler probably dropped those faster than a hot potato when they made the new style hinges.

Applicable to only the VIN you have.

05014090AA Kinda expensive but its a kit and you get two hinges to do a whole door.

There are later style hinges available, they come as a kit from Chrysler. I have a kit, I would love to install it but have no experience with trying such yet but Chrysler recommends them in place of the older style.

These are currently in production, but they are being made slowly and carefully by a one man wrecking crew. Life hits him from time to time and I am waiting on a set from him currently. @CoastChief

Tint just makes the window darker so not all the suns rays and people can’t see in so well but it’s designed so you could see out better than you can see in. My XJ has complete clear glass and does not bear the GAC code for tinted glass.

I hope to have the T-bird running as that car that can take the duty of daily while I try to do other things to Little Red and Chunk like insulation and better rust repair.

Best way is to find someone who can rechrome them and either you or someone paint them black(then scrub the black off the letters). That’s just how I noticed how the nameplates are made.

Seen that happen too. It’s not a bad thing but it takes away from the experience. Absolutely wild. Three toes?! That’s unfortunate but kinda funny. At the rate BSA keeps adding merit badges, it will only take longer for those to get them all.
