Axle spline countq
#1 Is there a way to know the spline count on an axle without pulling the axle and physically counting them? I am planning on ordering a new center section with 3.23. I have a 489 case now. #2 If the rear end components are stock, the axles will have 30 splines. The only carrier that I am aware of that could be different is a spool. #3

#1 #2 Albaugh Collection – Albaugh Classic This is a huge General Motors collection. View attachment 1689455View attachment 1689456View attachment 1689457View attachment 1689458 I really like those '63 1/2 Fastbacks. Nice pairing, Scott; your car and it. #3 That was a total accident, we pulled in the parking lot right behind them. I have always loved those cars, it has an LS3. #4 Joe Dirt movie car. At Good Guys this weekend.

The barn swallows are back, dive-bombing cars
Although we have very few bugs in general at our elevation we do have an outbreak of Miller Moths every summer. The swallows have adapted a way of catching them. There are several articles like this. Dear Johnnie: While waiting for the light to turn green at major intersections in Longmont and elsewhere, we notice a lot of wacky birds circling aimlessly and repeatedly dive-bombing cars. It’s really bad at Colo. 66 and Main Street and Ken Pratt and Main.

Went to a concert last night.
#1 Wife and I went to the historic Surf Ballroom to see Ray Wylie Hubbard last night. We usually see a show about every other year. ZZ Top was there in February, some how we missed that notification. I think we might go see the Kentucky Head Hunters in June. The Surf is a nice venue although the booths are still original and pretty uncomfortable. We still get one cause we are too old to battle the crowd on the floor. The show was great.
I had the little skin cancer thingy removed. Wow.
I'm a blond haired, fair skinned, blue eyes, white boy, that has gone thru, i don't know how many, basil cell, skin cancer carcinomas from my nose, cheeks, face, chest, back, in my adult lifetime, over at the Mather VA Hospital, here in the Sacramento, Ca. area. The dermatologists keep telling me my body keeps producing these skin cancers, and they really don't have an answer to me as , to why. As long as they don't progress to melanoma's, i'm a happy camper.
Mini Starter
#1 I have the headers off my car right now and I am thinking about updating my starter while I am at it. Any opinions on what I should use? I have been told that any new style starter from a v6 or v8 Dakota will work. #2 Seems like I have read that some are a little different, not sure what year, mid 90's. What's your old one? Stock, or a mimi? Wiring hook up can or is different. Someone will tell you. #3 I have a stock starter now #4 Put one of these in in my Satellite.

Finally got a score!!
#1 Dodge33 Well-Known Member No ....... not a Mopar, but I love these little minibikes! I found this one on market place yesterday and made contact with him..... and then met him today midday in the pouring down rain. I liked what I saw, and purchased it. Never tried to jew him down or anything, but for a little less than a Ben Franklin, I was very happy! My dad bought me and my brother brand new ones at a dealer in the area. I think I was only like 9 yrs old then.
Tool Box
#1 So, I keep a ton of tools in my vehicles (cars and bikes). The theory is If I have it, I won’t need it, and if I need it, I’ll have it. My old repainted 4 drawer craftsman is too tall for my little Belvedere trunk and Snap Ons smallest box is taller than that. What are y’all running for a road box? #2 In my older vehicles I carry a tool bag with the basics, a few wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers, small hammer, plus some type of lug wrench.

My newest pet peeve
#1 Many times when I'm at a restaurant placing an order with a waiter/waitress, or at the register inside a store, I always make it a point to say thank you to the waiter/waitress when placing the order. The same goes with the cashier at a store. If that person happens to be in their late teens - mid twenties, more often than not, their response will be "no problem".
Congratulations HawkRod!

League Bowling
#5 Bowled for years back in the 70's/80's, two leagues for some of them and a dozen pro-am's. After league bowling for cash made for some late nights. Then some specially arranged bowling events on weekends involving some serious cash. Automated scoring was just starting to become a feature back then as I stepped out.

Myles Goodwin won’t be down for breakfast.
Dang, never thought I’d start one of these posts, but here goes. He was the founder of iconic Canadian rock band April Wine. For those of us growing up in the seventies in Canada April Wine played the soundtrack of our youth. I was initially drawn to their original hard rock, nearly heavy metal sound but they later found much more commercial success with a more radio friendly sound.

Probably about to open a bag of worms but.....who finds my avatar offensive?
#1 Cranky Banned Henchman #27 While looking for something else, I ran across another thread where someone was 'sorta' complaining about what the mods do and well, my avatar got mentioned too....so, here it is. Don't hold back now but please, no use of the 'F' word. #2 #3 It takes a lot to offend me, so I don't see an issue with it. I feel if someone finds it offensive, they have two choices. 1 don't look. 2 tell you in person. #4 What's the problem. Harrison Ford is cool #5 No problem with it, at all.

How do you eat your chili?
I eat it with a buttered hard roll, sometimes mixed with horseradish and sour cream. I don't like it spicy hot though, and the wife makes a killer chili. Although if she had her way I would need a bowl of ice water to stick my face in after I put the fire out on my lips. She often makes 2 batches, one mild and the other pure hell.
What would you do or say?
#1 kiwigtx Henchman #4 and Jack-Stand Racer #2 This guy sauntered down my driveway just over an hour ago and asks to 'borrow some gas'. Weird I thought immediately....OK so he ran out. There's no sign or hint of offering to pay for anything, no gas can, he just wants me to give my gas over???? I was actually in the middle of an important phone call to a supplier at the time, I put him on stand-by, and told the guy NO. I don't have any spare gas at all.

What's your favorite post-1970 Mopar?
The 71 models were the best, since they still had the horsepower, and they were much better cars all around than the predecessors. Although the power decreased afterwards, the 71-74 cars were improvements with styling the subjective matter. The King liked his early 70's Chargers better, as well with the improved aerodynamics.
Idle issues
#1 440, .030 over, 484/284 cam, Edelbrock 750 carb. Base timing 12degrees with 36 total, using firecore distributor and mopar electronic ignition. 727 trans 2800 stall converter. Car has always ran at 1100 rpm in park and 900 in drive, I have two distributors both have checked out and are in perfect condition. I want to start by saying this car has been running perfectly with no issues for several years now. Recently while driving I came to a stop and idle rpm just dropped out.

WTB - 65 Satellite brake booster
I am looking for a Midland Ross brake booster for my 65 Satellite. I just need one that is good enough to be sent out for rebuilding. Thanks in advance
What is your favorite carry pistol?
I don't mean your most expensive or fanciest but something reasonable you can carry all the time? I had a little Ruger LCP but I gave it to my mom. We had given her a Saiga 410 auto but it's just too big and heavy for her at 93. Mom is an old farm girl, she has no problem with guns. I'd like to get my daughter a purse gun but it can't be too heavy or expensive. She has a .45 auto at home but that's too heavy for everyday carry.
Remember the snake under the truck last summer?
Yikes, no thanks!!! I saw a good sized Northern Racer by my house the other day and just let it be. The past few days, I weed wacked and decreased places snakes can hide but I realize they have a right to be there too. I did buy some snake tongs and that twirly hook tool from Amazon just in case I need to relocate any. Ain't no way I'm grabbing with my hands!

Is there anything your dogs WON'T eat?
Our dog is the kookiest dog I’ve ever seen. She won’t eat her bones, maybe her chicken strips, doesn’t beg at the table, isn’t a chow hound, but she HAS to have her pup cup spoon fed to her every night promptly at 9pm, just before bed. She also won’t kick the cat out of her bed, she just gives her a nosey bump and goes and lays in the cats bed. She’s a goofy dog, that’s for sure!

Route 66
I am thinking of a route 66 trip in 24. I am not sure if I want to plan a spring or a fall trip. Spring weather can be so unpredictable. I have always lived for work, I have been self employed 28 years, and I only take 6 days vacation a year. It is time to change that. If anyone has suggestions on what to see or what not to see. I would greatly appreciate them
