My home built tester. A pot from Amazon and an old fiberglass electrical box. Use with a 5 volt power supply. 10 Ohm High or full. 23 Ohms Med or 1/2 full. 74 Ohms Low or empty.

Do you mean 1-2-69 or 12-68? Almost a year older than the scheduled production date seems unusual.

I believe it depends on the supplier and logistics and how many days of supply on hand. If Jan or Feb build I would say Q4 1968. Since it was built towards the end of the quarter then it could feasibly be Q1. What’s the date code of your engine and transmission castings, plug wires and hose...

Those could be worth a try.

I never did find plastic ones that were the right angle, so I re-used what I had. I think I was also able to use the metal studs but put in new mastic washers.

I did my ‘68 Polara 2 dr ht that had been in my family since 1970. It sat in Colorado for 26 years baking in the sun. My goal was to make it new again so likely spent 3 times the value to restore. The sun baked interior likely includes a cracked dash pad and highly faded dash panels. So...

That’s why I decided to learn to do my upholstery. As the quote I got about 8 years ago was around $4k to do it from scratch. I reverse engineered what I had, took my time and knocked it out. There were only 2 mostly hidden spots that I wished I did better, but unless you look for them it’s...

Not Mine, I ran across this on Facebook. Originally Metallic blue, repainted resale red. Would have been a beautiful car in the original color. Not a nice color combo now. Looks like left front fender has been replaced with a ‘68 Polara fender. Has Summer Trim (some are there some are missing)...

That was @david hill from Indy. Things were kind of winding down by 4:00

I made it back home and opened up a Spotted Cow in his honor.

On the road.

She posted a couple of pictures on facebook a year or so ago commenting on the red interior similar to mine.

I plan on driving the Polara down on Saturday. About 3-1/2 hours away. See you guys there.

Time to replace my zipper in my gazebo mosquito net. I don’t think it was designed for 20 zips per day.

You may notice my dipstick has an extra mark between add and full that I think my Dad re-marked a number of years ago. The new mark is spot on when loaded with 5 quarts. The interesting thing is that if I fill it to the full mark, after about 500 miles it stabilizes at the mid mark and will...

@Big_John is there any real advantage to grounding with an additional wire to the case vs directly grounding it with a metal washer and the screw? Mine has been grounded with a washer since at least the mid ‘80’s. And the terminal was clipped.

It may already be grounded. Does the top terminal have a metal washer underneath the screw or a fiber/rubber washer underneath the screw? The right terminal by the BAT terminal should have a fiber or insulating washer where the top in your case should have a regular washer which will ground the...

I like the rock ballads. My all time favorite was/is Ozzy and Lita Ford. I have that cassette somewhere, maybe even a CD

I would also clean up your steering shaft where the nut threads on It looks like someone beat the piss out of it sometime in the last 50 years. You don’t want to cross thread or strip your steering nut. Also hammering on the steering column can break the plastic pin in the shaft (designed to...

You need something like these Menards special needle file set. Just clean up the burrs on the leading edges. Don’t make them deeper. Also if you don’t have access to these small files, take a hacksaw blade out of the saw and wrap the no teeth side with Emory cloth and use that as a make shift...
