This is in the Colorado Spring area. Sorry for the short notice on this. The add reads: FOR SALE: ACCEPTING BIDS. CALL MONDAY- FRIDAY, 8:30AM- 5PM ONLY.

All I could bid was $200 (I ask first)and they need at least $400 or it goes to the wrecking yard.

the mighty leafs have been eleminated from the playoffs for another year. leaf nation has suffered for forthy years and no end in site. for our U S members, this is comparible to the long suffering cubs fans. i've always been a true blue leaf fan since chilhood. my father was a leaf fan so naturally i am too. at least i can remember fondly the heydays back in the 60's when they won 4 cups in 5 years. the playoffs are not the same without them.

My Z has to sit alone in my shop, its whole drive train is out (all parts zipped locked and labeled). I'm taking a look at the r180, trying out another 5spd and putting in a f54 l28. But their she is frozen to the blocks, I have to get ready for my commercial fishing season in Alaska. I have about a mile of gillnets to hang (8 inches at a time) they have to be on the barge at the end of April. Alas there is no joy in Walla Walla.

Her name was Daisy. She got hit today by a car while crossing the street. The dude drove off, so I ran inside to get my keys and tracked them down. Yelled at them for a minute or so and got their license plate number just increase because they were unwilling to give any of their information. So I just went ahead and got all of it instead, stupid people. Anyways. Raced her to the vet and after about an hour they put her to sleep. Internal bleeding, lungs were collapsing and her left leg would have been cut off. She was pretty messed up. She did really good through the pain though and was being a trooper through it all. Lasted for about 2 hours after the strike.…

Ebay Related Etiquette

Every now and again, I run across an item on eBay that is either rare or hard to find. Sometimes these are listed in the wrong category, mis-spelled or just listed in a way that most folks might miss with a basic search. If I decide not to pursue the item, I hesitate to post a thread here alerting the members to the auction fearing the "danged if you do, danged if you don't" While I think I might be helping someone in desperate need, I might also be stepping on another persons toes who was hoping it wouldn't get much attention and thus get a great deal. So......Do I or do I not? What's the general concensus here?

3.36 r180 vs. 3.55 r200 1 2

Howdy, I have both an R200 and an R180, the 180 is a 3.36 and the 200 is a 3.55. Last time I tried to switch the rear end over to a 200 I had problems from He** and gave up, putting another 180 in to get me by. I did change mustache bars but nothing wanted to line up with the diffy mount bar. The victim is a '73. Two questions: 1; Do you need to change the diffy mount bar, originally I was told no, but now I wonder. And 2; Is the change over worth it? Stock motor, 4-speed tranny, good suspension. (Springs, bars, blah, blah, blah) Want a 3.90 but still looking. Is there a noticable diff between the 3.36 and the 3.55? Thanks for the info. Have a heckuva weekend...…
