   the worn fuel pump rod

[Magnumcharger]

Did it actually wear down in length?

[moparstuart]

 yes the ones they make now are not hard enought .I have had several people tell me now they had the same problem

I think the "tackle box of doom" is going to get an electric pump added to it. 

and you know you want my tackle box.  i could see it in your eyes.  don't lie.

[moparstuart]

you better recheck the tackle box buddy , I robbed you blind while you were wiring up my electric pump .       I wanna know were I can find a lime green tackle box

Doug,
Don't worry I carry an electric fuel pump and usually enough wire and hose to make it work!
Maybe someday one of us will have our picture taken fixing your car roadside!
I've got plenty of pics of you!

hey Scott you're about 15 years late for most of that...

I'm not going to be a total tool and tell you my cars never break, but you could GUARANTEE them screwing up when I was younger.  Mom and dad won the hard luck award in like 78 for all the shenanigans the car pulled, and the damn trophy broke on the way home.  Mom still has the pieces in a drawer in the basement

as long as I have my tackle box I'll be just fine.   


Mike Svec's bailed me out more often than not recently--he and Gary had a steering wheel puller in Lebanon, IN to get at the fried ignition switch and he had a caliper pin to replace the one that ejected itself somewhere on the way to Tennessee in like 01?  Both parts have made the tackle box, though. 

I ought to inventory the thing and see what I do carry...

good idea.  a couple of us have broken down in nearly every conceivable way 

[70Sbird]

good idea.  a couple of us have broken down in nearly every conceivable way 

I've been known to Carry a spare carb and fuel pump, spare points style dist, and the replacement parts for my MP ignition as well, along with the usual stuff such ballast resistor, starer relay, ign wires, coil, and Duct tape!
Thank god these old cars have a huge trunk!!!!

that sounds like me when we went to Talladega '99 with under 100 miles on the rebuilt drivetrain--I robbed the Petty car blind for spares.  I was TOTALLY paranoid.

I also took a full-size floor jack and a pair of jack stands, which is good because Sean Michado needed them to replace one of his rod bearings in the Alabama Motorsports Hall of Fame parking lot!


I'll probably pack the crap out of Marty this fall, too--I just dropped two grand on 5.7 Hemi swap parts for him today, and that's not the end... 

[moparstuart]

      HEMI 

[pettybird]

    HEMI 

soon.  I don't want to start the thread until all the pieces are in place.  I'm going to repaint the engine bay, etc, so it'll be over a couple weeks. 

with any luck I'll win a trophy given away by bus drivers, too.   

[moparstuart]
