    2023 Syracuse Nationals - Mini Meet

    in FGMCC Mini Meets

    Posted

    Just got back home.  Safe and sound.  I just want to take a bit of bandwidth to say how much of a good... make that great time my son and I had.  Never having attended any meet before this was an awesome experience.  We got to meet a number of members that I see posting on the forums all the time.  Truly, a great group.  I want to say thank you to C.K. for all his hard work organizing the meet.  Great Job!

    For those that are in my shoes and have never attended a meet before I recommend you get out to one.  The camaraderie of the members, makes you feel right at home with many going out of their way to ensure you are included as part of this one big family.  I didn't get a chance to bring my car but that didn't matter, my son and I still took part in the group events (dinner, door prizes, etc.) and hung out with the gang in the "Monte Carlo Coral" at the meet.

    I must say the FGMCC group seemed liked that biggest organized group of cars at the meet.  I look forward to attending more of these events.  I will finish by quoting Steve Lavoie's (cny first gen 71) quote he has in his messages...

    There is no such thing as strangers, only friends we have yet to meet.

    1970 Power Steering Pump Pulley Installation

    in Engine Tech

    Glad you got it all sorted out.  Sounded like quite the ordeal.  I'm just installing a Lares pump on mine and realizing that the return pipe on the Lares sits very close to the Steering shaft/rag joint.  When I compared the old pump (? brand) to the new Lares, the old pump's, return pipe bends to the right side of the engine bay away from the steering shaft.  Did you notice this on your setup or does the pipe on your pump bend towards the rag joint?

    Heard the National Guard deployed in Buffalo.  Up to 6 feet of snow expected.  Glad I am on the other side of the lake effect.  To all affected, Be Safe, Stay Warm.

    With myself, my wife and 3 kids at home, I'm lucky if I can find a dish, cup or cutlery by the end of the day that are clean.  Ours runs every night.  Hopefully I don't find the kitchen flooded one day...🤯

    Joe:

    I am sure you alleviated a lot of stress for him and his wife.  With finances being tight I'm sure the possibility of having to scrap the car must have weighed heavily on both of them.  With all the BS going on in this world it's really good to hear there are so many FGMCC members that are good Samaritans and stepping up when needed.

    Radiator Fitment

    in Engine Tech

    Posted

    Looking to put a Champion  4-core radiator in my 70 Monte.  Anybody have experience with these rads?  I can't seem to find any bad feedback about them.  Any issues with the fit that I should be aware of?  It is made for the 70 Monte but I don't want to get it home to find out I need to cut and weld to make it fit correctly.  Any guidance always appreciated.  Here is the link for the Rad I'm looking at:

    If there is a better choice for roughly the same cost, feel free to suggest.

    Joe:  The car looks a lot different from when I saw it a few weeks back.  You've made a lot of progress and looks beautiful.  Sometimes it may look like your not moving forward and it takes another eye to see the progress.  Great work and I'll echo Willie's comment about wishing I had the ability to do what you do.  Heck I'll take a quarter of your ability and be happy.
