    Any time you have more than one, one will turn it off after the first one turns it on. Murphy was an optimist. :p

    Carl.
    Owning a race car is a disease, their is no cure, and the only known treatment is very expensive. Parts failure grows exponentially with power produced. Sorry for your misfortune.

  6. Damn, Carl, that converter should have floated off when you split the trans loose you balooned it so much! But seriously, sorry about the bad luck. The purple paint makes it look like a P.I. converter, was it?

    If it will help, I take back the bad luck part. I hope that all you need is a convertor and a trans cleanup. Wish you well

    Well Carl,, I see your back to just sitting around watching the grass grow:D:D:D
     
  18. Well once again I want to give a Props to Gene Benson and Flat-O out of Salem Oregon sent him the parts repairs were made posthaste and back in my grimy little hands already, man that's service. Over the years Gene has been one stand up business owner and its wonderful to see that in this screwed up world of ours. Anyone needing flathead C4 parts should look him up.............

    Perfect "time lapse" shots of the evolution of a clean "t" shirt to a normal garage one.
