Interior / Re: Restoring dashboard

Be wary of dealing with Max's guy Al Kosch. He's Russian, trying to infiltrate the underground dash market and adding a tracker to each. I've said too much. Men in suits approaching the front door.

Lobby / Re: Fathers day

Congrats on the 30 years!!  Very cool!  To me Father's Day is just another day as well and I dont ever expect anything more than a "Happy Father's Day" but the Mrs always gets me something and the kids suprise me on occasion too lol.

 I am assuming the foam roller is for your back?   I love those things.  Between that, the inversion table, and my now monthly visit to the chiropractor, I actually feel better than I did 15 years ago.

Electrical / Re: New Steering Wheel...connecting horn wires.

« Last post by RobertReynolds on Today at 07:34:03 PM »

So I got it done today. The spring pin on the stock setup has to have a wire connected to it and hooked to the positive terminal on the back of the new horn button. The negative terminal on the horn button has to be grounded to the hub. It works but I’ve got to take it apart again, not quite lined up at 12:00.

Number Crunching / Re: 1975 455 L75

If the numbers match then yes, it would be very reasonable to assume they used some leftover blocks.

Learned something there.  They would probably like to know that.

VIN on block matches, it starts with 25Nxxxxxx, which the 5 is the last number of the model year, '75.
Date code on block is B255, so Feb '75.
So looks like they were still using 485428 castings in 1975 for the early WX with 6H heads.
Got all the numbers now .
