Many thanks to all of you. You're AMAZING with all the knowledge. Scott the engine does have a 4 bolt crank pulley, so as you said it is a 70 or later 302. That would explain the left hand/drivers side water pump and radiator inlet. Again thank all of you for your imput. Ralph

Thank you deadstang for the info. My current set up has the water outlet from the water pump on the drivers side of the motor. The radiator bottom hose is also on the drivers side. Was the heavy duty radiator, And water pump for the A/C different than that of a non A/C car? I am still...

We just returned from out annual trip to Reno for Hot August Nights. Great show as always but too big to see all the cars. We did see a White/black stripe car in the Grand Sierra parade but that was the only other CS that we saw. Any way, our 68 CS had an overheating problem while there and...

WOW, what beauties it doesn't any more "CLASSIC" than that. Love the pictures! Ralph

Cory, Wow you have all of us in envy over such a large garage. I hope you are looking at the future with this project. I built my little shop a few years before I retired and was only looking for a chance to work on my stuff under cover. Not knowing that a few years later my wife and I would...

Have you checked out CALBLAST.com? I have heard of the an heard some good things but have not checked on price etc. Ralph

Rich, It depends if it is one of the event t-shirts or if it is the Participant t-shirt. The participant ones do not get sold to the public. Ralph

Those really look like the hinge pivot from a 50's ford pick-up tail gate. Ralph

So, just what does the member number mean? Mine says 19, maybe it has something to do with I.Q. or something. I don't really know at this point. Ralph

Scott, Congradulations on the job opportunity. Will you move all of your cars up to the wonderful state of Oregon with you? I know that the company will only be better with your vast knowledge and appreciation of these cars. Let us all know if you need any help along the way. Ralph

Wow, Thanks for the info, I appreciate all the help here. Ralph

Hi All, I finally got my rebult power steering pump and have painted it with the "ACCUMATCH" power steering pump color # L-17520 and am quite suprised by the color. It really looks like an Oldsmobile valve cover color, I was expecting something darker. I will attach a photo and hope the color...

The way you two are testing Rob's adjustments you are very lucky the CHP was not around, but maybe they only look for Red CS's with Oregon plates. :( I actually have the origional Black/Yellow Cal plates for the 68 maybe I should just put those on as I enter California What do you think? Ralph

We would love to be included in as well. Karen and Ralph

Hi Bret. The pic was on 405 just before it intersects with 84 near the Portand Airport. Ralph

Happy Birthday Renee' from the Powell's (Karen and Ralph). Looking forward to pics from the Autorama with you, your CS and your new pendant. Ralph

Winter in the Portland area can be amazing. Very little equipment for snow/ice removal like lots of you folks. Took our daughter and family to the airport 12-29 for their flight home to Salt Lake with a few white flakes in the air. As we left the parking garage at 3:40 pm for our 25 mile drive...

Russ, Wow what a wonderful job you've done. I agree with the idea to buy a finished car, but with your obvious skills and dedication to detail there will be none like it. Even though it is a HUGE project The results will be second to none. I can't wait to see the finished project. Ralph

Neil, from my experience with Seattle/Bremerton traffic, it takes an hour just to get to the coffee shop. Ralph

Rob, you can save floor space used up by stairs to your loft by welding a set like mine. I also have storage behind my tool panels. Never enough storage it seems.Those tall walls make a great place for family photo's. Ralph
