sounds like you're on top of the game more than I was giving you credit for. Right on girl ! And avoiding eBay is a good thing. I'm going to put a call out for those early AM/FM's just incase. I'm sure I have a box with several early radios.And I'm mighty sure there's at least one AM/FM but probably not more than 2. We scored some in a lot of NOS stuff from PA. But that old organization vs storage vs time and all in consideration of good weather to do it in....waaaaagh.

Gosh I hope they aren't taking too much money for the cable. I've seen those on eBay too. Ext. Reg. Alternators are fairly cheap on there too. You got a pretty good deal at $40 from a store for the V/R. On eBay they show up cheaper but its been a bad couple of weeks for spotting any - naturally when I need one. I'm thinking these early AM/FM's are getting kind of hard to find now. :-\ But I'll get one to you if there's one here. I can't wait for the day that I have things organzied.

How's the run signal/lights doing? You'll see me in your other post about your car washing calamity.

Voltage regulator. Even if you replace the alt. be sure to replace the V/R as it is reccomended in the factory manuals that you replace both at the same time.. Not many out there this past week,I can tell you that, unlsee you go thru stores and pay much more than the usual eBay price. Be sure you get the correct one. Check the V/R connector,yours should be ROUND. I had my hands on an AM only radio but you don't want that,right? Also had a turn signal stalk in my hands too. p/n -6821 15231 which for some strange reason I can't find in my parts manuals. I have others too,somewhere.

Let's make his (very professional) effort worth his while,please. If you don't need them for your car or MPV buy them anyways. Nice way to spruce up your tool box !!

http://www.njmotorsportspark.com/ No doubt we'll be hitting the Barrens too. First time for the AMA boys - and girls - to come to this rather new facility. See you there

I haven't forgotten but just haven't gotten to sort thru it all yet. Cassette will be near impossible for me to produce. Good old AM/FM I know I did set one aside for you and there's alos a box with a few radios in it somewhere. We noticed that the early 80's radios fit pretty good too if that helps in the meantime.

THose "stalks" were showing up on eBay once. I'd also - just for kicks - take the fuse out and pull on both ends. Skip once traced mine back to that fuse end being loose but I never noticed it when I pulled it to check. I'm pretty sure once of us will have a used stalk for you if you need one. "Combination switch" if you're searching.

If you took it to a place in Stamford that typically has Aston Martins , Lambo's , Ferrarris ,and all the top names you'd be spending $20k easy. We witnessed my friend's brother inlaw spend over $38k on an Alfa GTV6 for JUST minor body care and fresh paint. Value of the car is far less than that ticket but he's got the money and wanted it done. Unfortunately we have TOO MANY of those types around here so the shop in Stamford can get that price and the owner will pay most up front and pay off the rest when asked to without blinking an eye. Location and demand determine each shop's quotes. Towards the NY border you're going to see prices that will turn stomachs in Willimantic or some other podunk eastern CT town. This is NOT intended to offend anyone from eastern CT. Good luck, Connie. Hopefully you can get a good jump on the overall expenditures with a little DIY.

I totally agree. They don't get it because they've never been here. Its so cool to go to a drive in joint for their car night and see totally common antique vehicles alongside of the usual muscle cars and hotrods. I actually spend much more time looking them over since I've already seen thousands of Mustang GTO Chevelle Camaro Firebird SS/RS this Bird and that Bird ....same for the Harleys - you can keep 'em !

nah , that thing was beyond help. Stick it out. You'll have a rare bird for these parts. These kids will break your stones but only we know what its like here. Oh,and watch how fast your car becomes rare out there too. How many times did I hear " oh we've got plenty of those 70's cars stil , blah blah blah .... but you see them now and apparently they're hiding them Luckily there's been a slight resurgence but for a while there weren't many showing up and nobody was reporting any in yards. I predict the same for you. Rob will be one of the only people with the Coupes soon. the others will begin to disappear. side note - effin DMV !!!! closed 3 days screwed me out of 3 days to get a VIN verification.....bastids.

O ring replacement regardless. To me if you went that far you should have set a new gasket on and replaced the O ring for longevity. Very cheap parts. And you've got a turbo so you'd better keep it coooooooool. Good luck.

I have NEW voltage regulators for your car. I will gladly turn over one - or two if you want - for the same low price I paid on eBay.....like $15 each. The '76 has the rectangular connector on the harness. All others don't - they have the round one. If you don't want any I'm thinking of converting the connectors to round if that's possible.

Couple of things I'd like to add after talking to Connie last night. Yes , I think it'd be great to have less structured meeting events elsewhere. Connie offers at least once a year. We could come up with a somewhat central location too and do things like we do at Carlisle. Bear Mtn. NY has a nice park .... plenty of places to consider. North Jersey or lower NY would probably be most central for a Northeast meet for folks from Maine (or Cananda) down to VA. But also , some of us will certainly go back to Carlisle so lets please leave the door open for that. And I know I'm considering writing to the Carlisle folks to see why a couple of our gang were considered "trouble" and hopefully keep us in good standing there. Or we just go back to showing up without a dedicated space and tent. Cheers, The Anti-Volvo

Great to see you all again and also to meet the new folks. Stopped and saw Tom at All We'll Drive on our way out this AM. You guys need to hear about the lizard. Check the Off Topic Forum soon for a good story.....really funny and involves a Subaru. Hey so what happened? Who pissed off who??? Glad I made a clean getaway. I'm wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy tired and I'm supposed to go to work in a couple of hours after our 900+ mile trip. :-\ So I'll add more tomorrow.

Goin' Froggin' See you in the AM or if you're lucky late tonight

Gonna claybar my butt ..... Hey thanks Neo. We're leaving here around 3PM and hope to at the crystal blue pond there around 6 - 7 and get in on the evening action. Not a lot of 4wheeling but if we have someone join up with we might. I want to be in Carlsile late Friday night and sleep good. So we're going to leave the Barrens just after dark. Brat does not want to cooperate. :-\ Looking like the FWD wagon.

Keep your hopes up. Looks like rain Thursday then moving out. It says 79 degrees for Saturday so it'll be sticky. http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=Carlisle%20PA&wuSelect=WEATHER

Neo I mostly need to get to the pond where Luc caught all those frogs. I should be able to get in and out of there with FWD right? I'm not going up the hill and all that or even probably can walk in a little....but the entrance is fairly packed - isn't it? Can you send me a location of that spot? Where the boat is . CrUnCH!! That was FUN. Muddy - show up Muddy !!!! Even my FWD will be dirty. Outside chance I might take the '79 Brat. I just got a Temp. plate for it. Not a problem to get full plate if I can get it to run well enough to limp to the DMV. Right now I'm wacked out tired - overtired - third wind - is it a full moon? - but I'm pretty sure I'll have it running well tomorrow. If so , it'll be Vintage Mud we bring. yabba dabba Roooo !

Hey all ... anyone wanting to meet up at the Barrens Friday evening can PM me. Exchange numbers and all that. We sure can use a support vehicle at the Barrens because it looks like we're going in the FWD 2.2 :eek::-\ Trying to get my Brat ready but ......

Yummy !!!!!!!!!!! * Just goes to show - who really cares about numbers? Sweetness can't be measured in numbers.

We should be back online tonight or really soon after. 86 this thread. and thanks Connie !!

Ain't never seen so few people make so much babble ..... But anyhow,I'll be there to annoy you all for at least a few hours on Saturday. Not too concerned about food this year but I'll try to bring something cool to share. Sorry for disappearing for a couple of weeks - it was a BLAST !!! Our computer should be back later tonight or tomorrow - or real soon. Then you'll have to deal with me daily again. Looking like a Friday 3PM departure from here (Connecticut shoreline) going to the Pine Barrens area. Romp around , maybe collect some frogs or something with my son , then gravitate towards Carlisle by the evening. You guys probably won't see us Friday night but we'll be there already come the morning. Waffle House would be cool but not necessary. Shake hands , say hi ,take some pictures and then we'll be heading home around noon - 1PM - sorry :-\ See you soon!

Another tough year , eh? Never made it to the dealer. No flyers .... Club Registration must be getting near closing. Trying for my '79 brat to be on the road and making the trip with my son , so far. Subject to change.

Close as in about an hours drive. Connie understands - I have 2 kids and lots going on. She has help and don't forget she's rebuilt dirt bike engines and whatnot so she'll be fine. Luckily for her she has a fairy that magically appears to help her. Neo also understands You guys are doing a great job - more than I can do. Believe me I do want to go stick my nose in err uhhh I mean help out...
