I'll be dropping the transmission sometime this weekend so that I can get it out for a rebuild. A viperbuilt rebuild at that! Picking up a transmission jack for $25 to assist!

Honest, I have no idea! Pretty sure I'll need some advice from the masses on that.

I will post pics up of my Viperbuilt and trans cooler this weekend. I went with a Derale Atomic Trans Cooler from Wild Horses. It came with fittings and tubing to adapt the flexible trans lines to the cooler. I am really happy with it. I removed the hard metal lines to the radiator and capped of the ends in the radiator. I mostly did that because they leaked. No leaks with the new cooler. I may install the cooler to a constant power instead of an ignition power so it would run after I turn off the truck and cool the fluid till its under 170 degrees.

I don't think you'll gain much cooling by letting the fan run longer Chad. The fluid would not be circulating so you'll only be able to cool what little fluid is in the cooler. Really nice setup though.

I'm really excited about finally getting this 75DBE on the road! I had the original owner over the other night -- to talk about some of the crazy electrical contraptions he had installed. He was happy that I was going to do a significant restoration but certainly a bit sad that it was needing such significant work. I just gotta get it rolling!

up pipe gaskets are cheap. I just cant see spending 400+ for the bellowed up pipes. If you'll be puttin it together tomorrow afternoon I may stop by after work. I'll give you a shout.

Picked up a new ride to park next to it. 2002 Subaru WRX, had it sideway in the dirt within 5 miles of purchasing it. Man I've missed AWD...

You sell the ms3?

Finally did a couple little upgrades;

- replaced cig lighter with one from a later model Ford that comes with a lighted socket. So, yes......my lighter is now lighted.

- replaced wiper control switch with one from later model Ford that has intermitent wiper control. This is a direct replacement swap other than the shaft where the control knob mounts has to be shortened. If you plan to do this upgrade you can buy one from this guy on CB.com and he cuts the shaft to length for you. http://classicbroncos.com/forums/showth ... 554&page=4

- started installing my new CB. Will finish it today.

SPECIAL THANKS TO MIKE (76FORD) FOR GIVING ME HIS SURPLUS CB AND HELPING WITH THESE UPGRADES !

+ 1 there Jeff. Mike is one of this clubs true gems.

Mike gave me a CB at the Fall Colors trip, pretty sweet little emergency radio. Since I got a new Uniden, the emergency radio will stay in my Chrysler, and come with me on all the club trips, as a loaner for anyone without a CB. Plus he's picking up & bringing me a freebie dashboard next weekend. Great to have someone like that involved.

I'm sure you all would do the same for me. Well except for Rox.

cleaned 34 years of dirt and grime off of the dash

I used one of my wife's Mr. Clean Magic Eraser pads (shhhhhh, don't tell her)

looking goooood

Over the weekend bled the brake system and then took her for a spin yesterday. All seems well. Diff aren't leaking at the gaskets anymore, so all is well!

J.D.

Got some new rubber, duratracs to replace the worn out MTRs. I can't believe how quiet they are. Goodyear has some rebates going on until the end of the year. Bobbie had the best price around.

got bid up on the super rare A9T computer for my EFI upgrade

Actually....are you sure you don't mean A9L? A9T isn't valid.

Congrats!! This is for the 302 that was in your garage right?

So, I know this isn't the right place to post a question, but:
Can I go to CarQuest or Napa and buy a rebuilt computer and get a specific computer? Like if you order a CPU for a 91 Mustang 5.0, 5 speed, what computer would you get? They list them by Ford part number I think, not by the code we all refer to.

Thats not cheap without a core. If your gonna spend that kind of money then go aftermarket.
