Matching numbers


Recommended Posts

I finally confirmed that my engine is the original to the car. Removed the alternator to see the number on the block. So the 45000 miles is the original miles. I figured it was because when I rebuilt the front suspension to get the stance I wanted the upper ball joints were the original because they were riveted in, and they were still tight. Replaced everything anyways. Yesterday when I took it for inspection the mechanic showed me a groove on the back side of one of the rotors and said that indicated that showed it was the original rotor. The shop was just as clean and organized just like Joe T's. If I ever need to have something done that I can't do, even with my every day car, I will take it there.

Great thought Willie. But you’re going to have to go without the chips as he doesn’t eat them anymore. 😩. But maybe he has another snack for you. lol.
