This conference is carried on the FIDO-NET backbone and is moderated by Gerry Calhoun at 1:2004/200. These rules will be subject to change if a change seems needed or is requested. Enforcement of the rules will be handled in the echo and/or via net-mail. Repeated violations of the rules may be considered grounds for the offending node to have its link to this conference cut. Rule #1: Please try to keep your language suitable to all ages. Remember this message base is open to all age groups, and some may take offense to foul language. Rule #2: The topic here is OLD CARS. What makes a car an old car? For the purpose of this echo, a pre 1975 car in general is qualifed to be considered an OLD CAR. But this is a very flexible rule as limited production cars of newer vintage may be considered on topic. If in doubt, ask the Moderator. Rule #3: No unsolicited commerical sales announcements please. This echo is carried by sysops who foot the bills out of their own pockets for the most part. If sommebody asks for a source of a CAR-RELATED item, feel free to offer advice on where to look for something, or to mention that you have what they are looking for. If you have something which you feel may be of interest to somebody here and are NOT in the business of selling that item and it is OLD CAR-related, you may post about it here. Rule #4: No unsolicited BBS ads here. If you know of a system which has a program or file that somebody has asked about, feel free to post the name, phone number and location of the system, but no messages saying "Call this system now" type of thing. Rule #5: Keep the message-quoting to a minimum, please. Most BBS's are run out of the pockets of private sysops, and nobody wants to pay for (or see) a 20-line message quoted in full to have somebody else say "I Agree". Rule #6: Keep the personal attacks to a minimum, please. Everybody has seen messages posted by people who strike you as complete fools, but you do not have to call a person names in order to give an answer or correct him/her on a point. Hold the flames to a mimimum and try to keep this a fun place. These are all the rules for now. If any other points come up in the future, they will be addressed and added to this list if necessary. If there are any questions or comments about these rules, address them to me, Gerry Calhoun, via net-mail ONLY at 1:2004/200. --- * Origin: PETS R US! 805-946-8345 - Lancaster, CA (1:2004/0) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 155 OLD CARS Ref: ECC00005 Date: 08/07/97 From: CRAIG HEALY Time: 10:28pm \/To: ROY WITT (Read 0 times) Subj: Disc Brakes on '64 Impala Warning!

I'll assume you were speaking of the vehicles and not the engine. Yes, the IROC is an 88 and I believe they still made or still do make 454 SS pickups, or at least did around 91-92. JP> The laws state (from what I gather, I stay away from CA) that JP> replacement engines have to be from the model year or newer except JP> in the case of restoration of older cars. That's what it says. But, in California, you may not replace a 305 with a 454. Nor can you replace a 350 with a 454 or a 305...It HAS to be the same basic engine that was in the car to begin with. Especially these computerized cars. The puter in a 305, 350 and a 454/502 are all different. ...

JP> RW>> a 30 x 40 garage to play in.. I sold the house and went into RW>> the machine shop business instead. JP> JP> What kind of work do you do ?? Much to engines ?? I try not to. I do machine heads for the guy across the parking lot. Mainly because we trade labor...I machine his stuff and he takes care of my cars...That way, I don't get greasy. I've got a 400 Pontiac block with a 455 crank in it. Although, I had a real automotive machine shop do the work. To my specs. The crank has the main journals turned down to fit the 400 block. Had to weld up and turn the thrust main to fit the 400, which isn't as wide as the 455. Had the crank re-heat treated, ground and polished. Had the block decked after I measured it for deck height and found it way off. It's now got .020 deck height on all 8 pistons. It's waiting for the day I get time to finish putting it together. Needs everything besides crank, rods and pistons. JP> Hell, I may send you the rear end out of the Prix. I need the pass. JP> tube removed, an inch cut off, and re-welded. (Ford 9 inch) I could do the machine work, but I'd farm out the welding. Sold my TIG welder a few months ago, with the intention of buying a MIG, but decided to forego that. Can't weld worth a damn anyway. ... It all hinges on your definition of "a good time". --- * Origin: Bow Tie Racers, Been There, WON That!
