What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

[Chris]

Is that the proportioning valve?

I think the ABS pump

My other "muscle car" ... At least it's carbureted and fun to drive anyway. I don't own anything good that has 4 wheels anymore. This is actually the wife's winter beater, as you can probably tell ...

 

Been dreaming of a '69 Grand Marquis convertible, black with white leather, and a 429 under the hood. Some day ...

Did you post a pic Ryan? I can't see one. Been suspecting this has been happeing across the forum on this computer ...

I have a pair of Five, Square Wire, Scapel, and forgot the other name, I think it was O Squared. Love them, the plastic frames can take a beating, I've worn off a lot of the paint from the Scapel I wear at work.

Ahh ok I can see that one. The way your other post (# 1086) sounded, I thought it was supposed to have a pic with it.

 

This means my computer might make it throught it's 6th year without getting shot.

 

Thanks.

Looking forward to the Brickyard. Wish I was there!

 

FYI... Street Car Takeover is in Indianapolis this weekend. It's an event that is in multiple cities including KC, Indy, Denver, St. Louis, etc. etc. etc. I think 15 cities in all.

 

Justin Kieth is the owner/organizer of SCT. He's a friend of mine from KC. The event usually includes a Dyno day... tune and 3 dyno pulls for $xx.xx. Saturday car show (up to 4000 cars!). Sunday drag racing at one of the local tracks. (Also possible extra curricular street activities late Saturday night... )

Anyway, you might want to take a look at the car show on Saturday! LOTS of late models... always a good time!

 

This is a picture of the carshow at SCT-Kansas City. This parking lot would only hold about half of the cars registered.

 

Next year they have KC Chiefs Arrowhead Stadium!!!

After 15 months of sitting around dead, I finally got our '93 Volvo 940 running. Had to rewire the pump to the sender, and then from the top of the sender to the vehicle harness (previous owner shorted the pump power wires and started a small fire in the trunk, LOL). Also installed a new water pump, and cobbled the exhaust together, stealing some rubber hangers off my other 940 (dropped a tree on that one ... so it won't be driving anywhere ever again).

 

Also had to drop the tank to replace a couple rubber fuel lines that were hard as a brick. Once I got the tank back up, I installed the sending unit assembly. See, Volvo actually makes compartments for easy pump access through the trunk! Hey GM ... WTF!!! All the bolts came right out, and this thing has been owned and operated in New England it's entire life, too! I'm impressed with these cars. Not so much with the newer ones, though - even Volvo caught the CHEAPOUT virus starting in '96 ...

 

Took most of the day to get it up and running. Brakes were SUPER rusty! One was locked solid when I dragged it into the driveway 3 months ago. It sat all winter completely buried in 7' of snow! Couldn't see the car at all for over a month. Anyway, the rears broke free as soon as I threw it in drive on the jackstands. Took her for a blast around the 'hood. Tranny shifts mint, engine runs mint! Just need to dump that 2 year old oil - boy is she tickin' ...

 

One more running vehicle to add to the fleet.

 

That's my redneck tank strap ...
