Hey OldSchool

 :swaying:

I seem to remember you saying that header install on your A body cuda was a few swear words and scratched knuckles.  But guess what?  On a B Body with TTI  the just fall right in place.  Na na boo boo.  Just kidding my friend. But they did.  And I took my air grabber hood off and the engine fell right into place too. And of course the trans is always a piece of cake anyways.  I am like only having to prime the fuel bowels away from firing up my car, but need a break. My body hurts  lol.  I did get the lower part of my body injected full of watever it was yesterday mid day, so no crutches or wheelchair today. That did kinda piss the wife off though. I should be in bed.  hahahaha.  Have you ever heard the term NO PAIN NO GAIN?   I need to go to Huntsville and have a driveshaft built. I think I need a strong one. My friends came over a bit ago and while I'm resting, they are installing my sub frame connectors, for me. 

Kinda sucks no health insurance, but guess what?  When you pay cash, it is a lot cheaper.  So I gave them my check card and said slide away, next thing I new, 2 guys were yelling at me in my car in front of my porch, trying to wake me up to carry me into my bed room. Peggy drove me home. I do not remember. Can't wait for Carlisle

Ok, It runs now Ken.  Hoping we can cruise sometime soon. All the neighbors started calling my wife and were complaining about the noise though.

Good morning Al...   :)  I certainly can relate to the frustration of headers on Hemified "A" bodies.  Way back in the day I had a Hemi Runner and I bought a set of Hooker Headers for it. I thought, "They're just headers, how hard can it be?"....   Needless to say, they came in multiple pieces with no instructions and I was flat backing it in my garage floor. I was ready to set that damn car on fire after the 2nd day of trying to get them on it....    :grinyes:  I finally had success, but that little job probably took a few years off of my life...  LoL....  That's awesome that you got a shot of whatever in your wherever and you feel better. Perhaps I need on of those shots...    :grinyes:

I am somewhat ashamed that you have done so much more than I have.    :misbehaving:  My car has been untouched for the last 6 weeks. I plan on getting on it this weekend. I did a lot of springtime outdoor chores last weekend so I could work on it this weekend. If it goes as planned, it won't take but 30 minutes to get it all dialed in. Then all that's left is a thoroughly good clean up. It has 2 years worth of dust and grime on it. I am hoping to have it back cruising by April 1st.  I will let you know when it is ready to go....   :cheers:

Ken


Cortisone more than likely. goods and bads. great feeling short term relief, but it masks the issue and can make it worse long term if you just keeping getting the shots and not addressing the actual problem.  http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/cortisone-shots/basics/definition/prc-20014455

Thanks Ken,   I took a break I am in Louisiana for a few weeks with my grandchildren.  I am building a driveshaft when I get back to the house and finishing up the brakes. I installed the frame connectors before I left.  As far as my spine I have a bone disease.    The injections were not what you said they were it was something else and I am walking without a cane that is what is good for me.  I had a new windshield installed today headliner is done little small things like that it won't be long I will be doing burnouts I will be having hand controls for bridal and break pretty soon probably in the next two years    I am taking my friends Cooter to the New Orleans car show this Sunday. Also going to mow bars at the battleship in Mobile I will probably bring my car there.  Maybe we can meet up there.
