hey guys - stupid question:

My manual steering box in the Belvedere has a wire coming out from the bottom of it. Any idea what the heck it is for?

YES ... It's your horn wire..

Thanks dude. That is an odd way to wire the horn.....

Can you show us a picture of your 55 ,,here's my 56

Thats a sweet '56. Mine isnt much to look at yet. It is going to get the gasser treatment. So far I have redone the rear springs, put an 8 3/4 under it, rediused the wheelwells slightly. In this pic I was experimenting with a borrowed set of wheels and tires to see what looks good. These were 15 x 8 wheels, with 28" x 9" tires. I think I will go with a 30' x 10" tire.

Yeah John I'm back in PSL ,Florida..Let me know when you are around. I'll be at the show at the Treasure Coast Mall Tuesday Night

Hey Jeff ,,I remember seeing that car when you first got it..It was on the trailor with a strap around the hood I think .. Good for you ,,what power are you putting in it ?? Keep us up tp date with the progress..My load, 3760 lbs with me and about 8 gallons of gas, air cond, power steering,disc brakes and power windows with a mild iron head 440 goes a consistant 12.50 @ 107 mph.

Yup - that was me. I'm going with an old Hemi. My buddy has two Desoto Hemi's i can buy from him - a 291 and a 276 i think. i'm going to keep those as back up plans - but i'm going to try to scare up something in the 331, 354, or 392 range. We shall see.

There is a guy here in Florida that has one of each of them,in good condition ... want me to hunt him down and get you his # and address ???

Yes, that would be great - I'm not spending any $$ until after the holidays - but any leads help.

I know it would be easier and cheaper to put a 440 in this car, but for some reason, 440 doesnt say gasser to me. Unless i came up with a wild looking induction combo..... them that defeats the cost savings over the hemi!

Still hunting down Hemi Don,,he is the local guy with the old hemi engines..he just shut down his shop and took all the good stuff to his home shop..I will be near there tomorrow and I will see what's up with the motors..

Can't get a hold of Don till the weekend..I'll keep trying..I will go to PBIR as soon as I can get this thing dialed in again..running like crap now,since reinstalling the new roller from Bullit.Yes it's in right where it was before I took it out,checked and re checked..need more time off to work on it...I will be at Melbourn
