Hopefully, I think I finally figured out the problem. The lower portions of the cooling passages are clogged with what I assume is the block sealer they used to seal the leaking intake manifold. I removed the little block plugs (the knock sensor acts as one) and no water came out. It took some serious stabbing with a screwdriver to pierce through and get water to come out. I have the water pump off and have been flushing through there, and since the alternator bracket was already off I knocked out that freeze plug to scrape and flush through there. So my next step will be to remove the power steering pump/ac bracket, the starter and the oil cooler adapter so I can knock out the other front freeze plug and both side rears. I think I can get it cleaned up pretty good through those six holes so I don't have to pull the motor again to get to the plugs obstructed by the transmission and motor mounts.

I finally used some of my model paint. Red on the left #1 TDC, silver on the right where the rotor was pointing when I removed the distributor. Unfortunately they weren't much help as this distributor is worn out so I had to use another.

Maybe they can be the ones to finally give us a Checker.

Yeah, I would buy a new alternator or at the minimum buy the case.

My replacement engine was overheating in traffic, so now I'm switching the rest of the parts from the original engine. It looks like intake manifold gasket failure, a common problem, but I'm switching the heads too. Here's where I'm at:

I read it a long time ago, so excuse me if I don't remember everything.

Yes it is.

Also, the cab seems to be a variant of the wrecker kit.

The tires in both copies I have are the two piece tires, with dated looking rims. I think the body is very nice, probably could combine it with the Sodbuster for a more accurate undercarriage.

That's the one most people don't like.

The one near me also has the Demon sticker but no Demons.

I guess I'm not an "us". I bought it because it's a 4 door.

If you shake it more than twice you're playing with it.

Just like painting a DeLorean.

There's two different designs of the 4L60E. The earlier looks almost identical to a 700R4.

I took it more like a decal for the instrument cluster, didn't even think about "one sheet of decals". I guess it could be either.

Decal included. Singular.

I think I'm ready to do something about this. It's been this way for a while. The lock switch has been busted for a long time, but the window switch just had a wire pull out so I have to jam it in the plug to make the window work. I'm better at putting things back as they were, but I don't want to do that here. I've been trying to kick start my imagination but haven't come up with anything yet. I don't really want to use wood.

Some 3D printers offer their stuff in different scales. If you can find who offered it maybe they can print you one in 1/24.

The video is the fixed bridge. It was the 11'8" bridge. It was raised 8" so they call it 11'8" plus 8".

The 1/16 '55 convertible looks new, at least the one near me hasn't had it. I'm going to have to check mine and get one.

Show me the Car Fax.
