      Still no art on the car...I picked up the Weiand decals today, and talked to the panting guy, apparently our phones don't like each other. Made an appt for tomorrow at 5pm. Nothing like doing this stuff at the last second.

      Trunk is loaded with lots of crap, Dan is fired up and ready to go, we'll be heading out Thursday morning bright and early. I hope the car holds together, it's making interesting new noises.

        it may have been making those noises and your mega-road-trip paranoia set in early? Hope it's nothing but an 58 year old car making 58 year old noises. Good luck guys!

          No confirmation the trans shield is rubbing something? Bring a few select hand tools to field overhaul a TH400?

            It sounds like the blower....I think I remember the same sound from 12 years ago, before I had the blower rebuilt. At that time I put a different (unblown) engine in the car for about a year, and sent the blower off to be redone, while I was slowly overhauling the blower motor.

            We'll see what happens....I might have to stop and see Keith in Texas

              Yikes! You weren't joking when you mentioned rebuilding the blower between now and Thursday

                It has 56,000 miles since the last overhaul. It only made 50,000 the first time.

                          good idea! I have a torker and an 800 dp.

                          Although I'd also need a 454 damper, and a few other goodies to make it work....

                              454 dampers are still pretty easy to get.
