  1. Thanks Grumpin...Jenkins?? I think heard of you. Thanks Randy
  2. Hi Gary: Location listed, ready for the map!! I don't think even Bill can help me with the Carter LOL We both have an affection for the ancient Chrysler 2.2/2.5 Turbo's They're extremely durable and respond well to modifications. My Mopar of choice is the Dodge Omni Turbo, I bought mine new. My last drag car was a 1963 Dodge Wagon 440 with 429 Ford pistons!! Still trying to figure out the site, see a mention of HTML and assignment.?? Did I mention I'm mostly computer illiterate?? Thanks Randy
  3. Appreciate the welcome! I was born in NS but grew up in Canada's most densely populated province. Spent lots of time in Halifax in my younger years buying vehicles for resale. A Ford dealer wholesaled me vehicles not worthy of their front row. Thanks Randy
  4. Appreciate it, Bill and I have some common Mopar interests. Thanks Randy
  5. LOL Gary I was doing it as you wrote!! Thanks Randy
  6. Hello all !! Just joined up and looking forward to Bullnosing I have a white reg cab, long box 1981 Fi50 300 six with automatic and ps/pb. My dearly departed Mother in law left it to me when she passed some years ago. She won the truck new from the C/W radio station she always listened to. While she never had a drivers license she managed to insure and register the truck. She lived alone and used the truck around her farm and drove to town occasionally. She did manage to accumulate 88,000 km which is about 50,000 miles in around 35 yrs. The truck sat unused for a few years between her passing and my bringing the truck home. The entire fuel and brake system needed replacing and that took me some years to do. I also had to replace the steering column as someone busted it trying to steal it. The replacement had the sticky ignition problem but I eventually managed to de gum it. I had a stroke a couple of years back but am now as recovered as I ever will be. Only my left hand and arm are affected so I'm luckier than most that's for sure. The exhaust manifold was cracked and that was a huge undertaking to replace. I needed lots of help with the heavy work but was determined to do the carb alone. The darn Carter YF was trickier than any 2 or 4bbl I've ever worked on !! Its still not perfect so I'll no doubt have it off a few more times yet. Thanks Randy
  7. Right on Bill!! I have an 81 and am slowly getting Mabel back on the road. Thanks Randy
  8. Appreciate the kind welcome Gary! I'm computer illiterate and trying to figure out this format. Thanks Randy
