Friday the 13th–My kit car hit by a semi
Posted by: | CommentsI was 1/2 a mile away from the Mopar Nats yesterday and my Kit Car was struck by a semi. I was going around a truck that was disabled (his hazards were onand he had been sitting there for at least 5 minutes)) when all of a sudden he started up and sideswiped me. Damage looks bad, but it's probably repairable. Thank God I have most of the parts (fender, fender flare, louvers) that will be needed. The one thing that I don't have is a replacement wheel--any one have one? or know where I might find one?
I have some pix I took with my cell phone. If I can figure out hows to upload them to my computer, I'll post a few.

Is This Wagon? Legit?
Posted by: | CommentsDodge: eBay Motors (item 120606343930 end time Aug-18-10 04:55:30 PDT)
I was out of town with the Magnum last weekend, and passed this on a trailer, wasn't sure what it was, figured my eyes were fooling me.
And lo and behold, here's what I saw, and it's on Ebay.
Question is F-guys, is this for real?
If any of you F body guys are interested, I'm like an hour from it. I can go check it out for you

Magnatized Alternator? Help would be appreciated!
Posted by: | CommentsI am working on our 1977 Lebaron.
318
Lean burn gone
Edelbrock intake
Holley 600 carb
Orange box ignition
I have bypassed the key start, and installed a toggle ignition and push button start, all wired correctly to my knowledge. Switch 12 volt from orange box to ignition toggle, (through ballast resister) from 12 volt out of toggle to in on starter button and out to small post on starter. Car starts, runs and idles. Starter does not continue to engage after button is pushed. So as far as I can tell I am wired correctly. :confused:
With ignition off there is a small magnetic field on alternator pulley, with ignition on field is strong enough to hold a 6in 3/8 extension. I have tried unplugging the orange box from power, and disconnecting the plug at the distributor with no change. :confused:
I do not have a direct drain on the battery, battery will keep a charge. Starter is new.:confused:
If anyone has an idea I would love to hear it! I and everyone I know at the parts stores are at a loss. I am taking the alternator in this morning to have it checked, but I am out of ideas! :(
Thanks, Mike
