back issue seems to be the sticking point on that pan?Or how about
welding in a short tube connecting the upper level with the lower
Have any of you seen tank floats stick in car parked for a while?
It has 76,000 miles on it, always in AZ.

Randy,
I see nothing wrong with your auction text or pictures. You've made an
honest description. If I wanted a '67, I'd be tempted to buy her. Then I'd
have to install a 425, get a tri-power setup from Chirs...oh the
money...:-)))

Kenneth,
That was not from me! I would not say that, ever! You have it misquoted from
some other E-mail that someone didn't delete the residue.

Here is my Question. Is the Bronze motor in 70 a 350
or 400? They advertise it as 350?
That's gold. 350.
330s and 350s are gold. '65-'69 400s are bronze. 425s and '68-'69 455s are
red. '70 and up 455s and all 403s are metallic blue.
