I think you'll need the more straight up 403 water neck too.

Had teh pleasure spending some time with Stan the other week. One hell of a nice guy. Knows the ins and outs of horticulture and taught me a great deal. The T/A runs good and with not much work and be a nice driving car. We didn't have a chance to drive it have we tweaked the engine as it was getting late.

The 403/455 surprise was a nice one I felt.

You will be seeing more of the fellow as his 76 transforms.

Sent you an email!

This weekend I spent some "quality" time with the 79.

Changed dif. oil & added friction modifier.
changed oil & filter
flushed out radiator.
installed a new rad. cap
installed a new "used" rad catch bottle
Wiper blades installed

Rear end ratio is approx. 2.5:1.


Today I washed it up & scrubbed her teeth with a toothbrush.  It went from a 25 footer to maybe a 22 footer!  LOL

Went for a little cruise after the washing & after 4 miles or so my passenger rear wheel area is squealing intermittently at low speed.  I hope a spring or something has let go & not my bearings...  frick...

The new exhaust is rubbing.  Need to return to the bender & have it fixed.

Short list has changed

Look into the squeal
monkey pisser not working
blower motor not working
no vacuum under the dash
door locks not working

Long list

AC
left red deluxe door panel
install front shocks
somehow lower shaker by 1 inch or so

real long list

red dash
seat covers & foam

'Till I have more to post...
