Hi Chris,

We do come back to Carlisle one time,that's for shure.
I've Always have a great time there with all of you guys,and if it was for me i would go every year to hang out there
The thing is we've bought a 109 year old house that needs a lot of work.At this time we need a completely new roof because of the leaks and bad isolation
But from the other side,it's a great nostalgic home with a garage near the stores and bars  
So money needs to be spend to the house at this point.
Besides that,i need a new truck for work,and i want to have my charger roadworthy this summer.

Some, not all of them.   

Since I've been here I've been asked if Belgium is the capital of France, if we have cars and if we have electricity.  There's more but these stand out a bit.

Here's a update,

i'm gathering parts at this time to have my car finished in spring 
Got my brand new Proform 750 carb and just put the fuelline on 
I'm going to rebuild my Dana 60 next month,and put the centerforce clutch in,replace my turnsignal switch and put the parkbrake hardware in the rear.
Going to port the 906 heads also next month,so a lot of progress is on the way 
Here's some pictures from the parts i have.

Very nice!   

replace my turnsignal switch

Save this, it made the job on mine a breeze.  It is for the cancel cam only but if you need to replace the switch it's just a matter of unscrewing it, removing the column cover and unhooking the electrical connector.  Ignore the column shift stuff and don't miss the link to page two on the top of the page.

I got my switch and cam from megapartsusa.com and it works great!  The new switch does NOT come with the grey plastic connector so if yours is missing or busted you'll either have to buy one or splice the wires in whatever way works for you.

So a lot of work has been done since my last post.
The Dana is rebuild and i have 3.54 gears in it now.I love it.
Also replaced the leafsprings,shocks,brakelines,replaced the bushings for polyeurethane's,driveshaft needlebearings,brake hardware and brake cable's 
Took it for a drive yesterday,but still has something unbalanced.
I think it's my clutch,but not shure.When i lay my foot at ease on the clutch pedal,i can feel some vibration coming from there.Maybe the flywheel? Still have to put my new centerforce in anyway.
I'm getting closer to have it finished.
Still need to fix the horn and the windshield wipers.
I will post some more pics tomorrow.
