Schultzie Yes they did, a 302. Here's me and mine back in the early 80's. Talk about one that should have never got away. And nice Vette, Norm. Bob

Allen, funny you mention that. I've worked at a max joint for almost 25 years here in IL and I remember an old pipe fitter telling me not long after I started that the majority of "residents" were born and bred to be there. They've lived behind chain link their entire lives and have hustled and...

Kraig, I'm fairly new here and sorry to hear of your loss. From what you've described, it sounds as if no law could have prevented your brothers terrible passing, other than the fact that evil guy was "not right" in the head. I just believe we as a society need to look at the deep down...

The victims of those incidents were nothing more than pawns used by a shameless administration to further their agenda. Nothing more than a play on their emotions. Of course they have strong feelings after losing a child or loved one, but to parade them around and hold them up as examples has to...

Well I can't take it anymore, have to jump in. It amazes me that so many put their trust and faith in "government" to provide and protect. I'm not a doomsday prepper or conspiracy theorist, but there could come a day when it all comes crashing down. I look at my weapons as I do my home and auto...

Don T The last four numbers on a Delco Remy generator tag are the date code. The first number is the last number of the year, presumably 71 in your case, the second as far as I've decoded should be a letter corresponding to a month, are you sure it isn't a D which would make it April. In...

Wow, that video brings back memories. I had a 67 GTO that was involved in a nearly identical t-bone accident back in the mid 70's. I remember the state cop telling me, boy your lucky you were driving a full frame car. If you'd have been in a car with subframes, I wouldn't be talking to you. If...

A little late to the thread, but a very interesting time in history. I worked at a Cat plant here in Il during this time, and I vividly remember echoing Dennis's comments with co-workers. At it's height in the late 70's, the Joliet plant had around 7500 employees and encompassed about eight...

Thanks for the compliments guys, and I agree I made the right choice. Marty, no problem at all with the ags,even in the spring on soft ground. In my opinion, they spin less than the turfs on wet grass on the few slopes I have in the yard. I love 'em. Bob

Just to add a little to the fuel to the fire, two years ago I found myself in the position of having an acre of grass to mow with nothing but an old push mower. I had two choices, buy a new mower or "fix up" my Dad's 102, which he had bought new in '67, but had been sitting in my Mom's garage...

Charlie, Lookin'good. I'm saving my pennies now to get one for my Original.

Kraig, A picture speaks a thousand words!! Thanks.

Hey Guys, Someone previously messed with the clutch rod linkage on my Original and the parts diagram is a little vague on assembly, particularly with the clutch rod clevis to clutch yoke connection. The diagram calls for the clevis pin, clevis and a spacer. I have no spacer on mine, does...

Thanks Wayne. I was under the impression that the newer style was all that's available now. I'll run over to my dealer next week and see what they have. Bob

I'm in the process of rebuilding the steering gear on my early Original and have run into a bit of a dilemna. When I tore it apart, there were 10 ball bearings, a cup, and a lock ring at each end of the worm gear. No plastic bearing cage like the newer boxes. I don't believe it had ever been...

Great job on the grill brace, Kraig and Ron. Just what I needed. Thanks, Bob

Hello Everyone, New guy here from Illinois. I just picked up a 1961 "O" and the front grille brace is missing. Does anyone know or could measure what size the steel is the strap brace is made of ? I'll just make one. Thanks, Bob
