I did call and do a little research on porting and one of the local speed shops will do PnP for $250 and head. Sound reasonable? Incidentally, still have not even tried to get them off recently.

Rich, while I agree with your perspective, I am not sure the project Comptroller will see it that way! I have yet to get back out in the garage, busy weekend with T-ball and church. May be this week! Joe

This might be a stupid question, but are you suggesting to use the dowels as "pry bars?" Joe

Thanks for the advice. Rich, I am not insulted in the least as I can see myself doing that. Turns out that the Haynes manual (and I do have access to an online survice that is an electronic version of the shop manual) suggested that one use a piece of cardboard to trace/punch the holes of the...

Well I have the motor disassemble down to the headbolts removed and I can not get the heads off the block. Am I missing something? The heads have no more bolts, no more exhaust man., no more brackets attached. HELP? Joe

I spent a few years as an Electronic Warfare Tech. Just wondering with your diverse geographic locations. Thanks again for the help. Joe

Hey, incidentally, judging by your locations, I would say that you are a sailor (current or former) more accurately a Seabee. Is that true?

Dr. Hrtbeat1, Thanks again. Mine is a nifty little pile of hardened goo. I will have to buy a new module along with a pigtail I think. I have not taken it out yet as I am working on some under the hood stuff...this is "stop oil leaks" time for me. New uppers, valley gasket, and new head...

Yep, I can not really tell if the connector is actually oval is is so messed up. My Speedo has been reporting speed so it still functions. I will need to fix that puppy soonest. Thanks W. J:coole

My tranny (700R4) has a connector on the drivers side an the "yoke" that I assume is the speed sensor, but can not find a diagram that shows it to save my life. I ask because mine is fried bare and the connector is not in good shape at all. Luckly it still works! Thanks in advance...Joe

Ken, do you have a brand of head gasket you would recommend for L-98 heads? Joe

P.S.S I am way off again ...Nipsey was not on the Gong show, but on many game shows. Check out this link to see some of the wierd stuff he did. http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/PersonDetail/personid-26562 Joe

First, You know scary stuff or you are a gentalman of season. I must say that in my original post, I said that "You have to be old or know some wierd stuff to get my title.":ugh Let me amend that to be "You have to be well learned or know some wierd stuff to get my title." I must admit that...

Sir, Not only does your car have a gnarly big motor, but you are an early TV genious. I believe that the original show was a radio deal and the TV show was a continuation. I guess I had the title wrong as I thought it was "Calling Car 54." If my radio theory is correct, perhaps yours is the...

I am blessed to have good inlaws. Father-in-law is a mechanic! Mother in-law is a great lady. It really was not punishment being there other than not being able to work on my car which is in need of work to be even a driver. Thanks for the sympathetic note. If you are a Bulldogs fan, you...

This is great. I performed the diagnostic according to the book and it pointed to the relay. I purchased a nice new relay and got all excited and....nothing happened. Could get NO fuel pressure at all. So, in my fog of frustration, I start throught the diag. again and when I went to unplug...

Gas is a by product of refining crud so....Incidentally, if you want to fix the problem of "Today's so-called 'clean' fuels" like those in CA move to the south or at least most parts of the south!

TenneC4, classic name. I am in Huntsville AL, don't know which direction Savannah TN is but know it is north of my posit. The name is great. Joe

Goodies! Sounds like fun and will be when the snow melts! Happy & Blessed new year Joe

What really chaps me is that no one responded to my very sad attempt at humor with the reference to the Calling Car 54 title.
