They call it "inflation". With a lot of blame going to the EPA. Thirty yrs back I had my rear bumper "show chrome", triple plated by North Star Bumpers in Madison WI, 45 miles away for just over $300. And my front is an NOS that I bought from Galen for $150. It still has the factory part #...

No need for a helper. First, make sure to take the throttle off of the high idle position, then adjust to take up about 95% of any slop in the cable, done.

You should be able to straighten that squiggle in the bumper with a healthy pipe wrench lined with a board on the chromed side, if you can figure out how to hold the bumper steady.

No, go back 20 yrs & buy every nice original part available. Then you'd have most of the parts needed for a fraction of today's cost. It's hard to beat a "happy hobby."

I broke the $18k mark on my convert 30 yrs ago when I did it. According to an online calculator that would be $37,649 today. So you're not doing bad at all.

With a hack saw & welder anything will work, e.g., my waGOON. Small block out, 440 in. 😊

And they call this a "hobby". "A hobby is considered to be a regular activity that is done for enjoyment, typically during one's leisure time." :ROFLMAO:

Make sure that you have everything oriented in your brain which is right, left, front & rear because it IS upside down.

Used ones sell on ebay for around $100 plus. New are over $500. I wouldn't trash it.

Sounds like a big block layout.

From what little bit I've learned, "electric igniters" are on all newer gas furnaces. The gas shutoff will not "open" until the igniter reaches a certain temp. Theoretically the conversion should be able to do. But it would mean replacing all 3, (compatible) components together.

I do know that the 68-70 B & C wiper motors will interchange by swapping the arms and re-clocking the contact plate by rotating it accordingly. The 3 screws and the markings by them tell you where it should be. I used to know the orientation, but it was wisdom that I preferred to forget.

A quick shot of silicon spray and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.:LOL:

Yup Pretty much every tire manufacturer still have them available. But they'll need to be special ordered. And there's always Coker tires, Coker Classic Tires | Classic White Wall Tires | Coker Tire® , for a lot more $$$$

I've had cars, (and bikes) with both hydraulic & mechanical actuation clutches. The ONLY advantage that comes to mind is a hydraulic perpetually adjusts itself at each usage. (How often do you need to adjust your clutch?) On motorcycles hydraulics are a Godsend vs cable. Cables tend to come...

You young pups complaining about spinning wrenches at your young ages. When I'm not moving I'm thinking about the next thing to do. 🤔

Thanks in advance. Can't say that I'll ever need them, but if I do, I'll be glad they're here.;)

The engine was painted in the factory with the balancer installed. So black or raw would be incorrect. But I'm just a "numbers" type weirdo.:geek:

The reasons why I've learned to save the oil pan install 'til after the timing cover & harmonic balancer. An old trick you may consider is to stuff some clothes line type rope through a spark plug hole. Don't forget to reverse the engine to remove it.🤔

I've been noticing that you're getting quite good at answering your own questions. (y)
