That does look good! I didn’t know about the cook book. Is it still available or on line somewhere?

Bob, Looking forward to seeing you and your wife at the Syracuse Nationals. We are looking to make it bigger and better every year. Always a work in progress.

Looks good

I had problems with a couple starters and alternators, I try to avoid rebuilt or remanufactured any more. New is a few more bucks but usually works way better. I'll get new if possible.

My horror stories with NAPA rebuilt parts was usually with the power steering stuff. Pumps and racks, that were rebuilt by A1-Cardone.

It used to be if you bought a "rebuilt" starter from NAPA it was actually a brand new model with a rebuild tag on it. That was one of the reasons I always went with rebuilt NAPA starters it had a better warranty than their new ones when I worked there 10 years ago

🤔🤔🤔

I bought one and it's in my car.

Thanks Robert. That burnout was almost 4 years ago. Right before I tore the car apart for a frame off restoration, rebuild, refurbish, refresh (whatever we're calling it nowadays 😉).

I did and no regrets.Anything up to the weight of a milk jug I can pick up

Thx I wasn't sure if I was remembering that correctly. I replaced it with at the time the best Alpine available. But now it's just... not that good. Lots of static in the volume. And no way to hook up an aux or blue tooth.

As long as you are not changing the ratio just swapping out the posi unit is easy as you know. Just make sure the left shim/s stay on the left and the right shim/s to the right.

Not to bad mouth anyone or company but I've never had any luck with any rebuilt parts from Napa, especially electric parts.

NO.

I have an am 8 track I a box. No I never bought from retro, but there are several members that have them.

I seem to remember that I had a AM 8 track when I bought this car 1972. Anyone ever see a AM 8 track before? I understand there is a place "retro radio" that has older style with modern blue tooth/aux upgrades. Anyone ever bought from one of these retro radio places

I got lucky when I put the trutrac in the 71. Never done it before and I do NOT have the proper tools. I don’t think I wanna gamble twice. Lol.

Thanks for the info. I just got my 3rd pump from napa. Gonna try it soon.

Get well soon, don't rush it take your time and heal completely. Good luck sounds like you made the right decision.

I am 43 years old turn 44 next month,will see this happen.I am doing light jobs right now,no heavy work for 6 weeks and 4 weeks left of this

There are only 2. Well, 1 now. They go between the spider gear and differential case. The spider gears that the cross shaft go through. Not the side ones that are attached to the axles. Detroit trutrac time!!

Yes Joe, I think we should!!! Dennis can be in charge of a BUNCH of Banana Slippers!!! lol He would be very good at that!!

Hope you get well fast Heather!!! Smart for you to jump on that early!! Rest up, listen to Doc and then get back to wrenching!!!

Welcome to the club Joe. Nice burnout

The weather held out, and I attended what is likely the last car event of the season...The 14th Annual MIS Cares Charity Track and Toy Drive. Ride-a-Long inside the Monte Carlo Monte Carlo Drive-By at MIS
