Tech Tips, Tech Questions / Bent pushrod in Duke

« on: December 07, 2023, 04:30:52 pm »

Hooooboy. So I started tuning up my '84 & replacing the valve cover gasket, only to find a bent pushrod. The valve is stuck - I tapped it down (didn't take much) with a hammer & it stayed down. Other than pulling the head, any suggestions? Anyone have a pushrod?
TIA,

The Market / Electric mirrors, complete '88 headlight assemblies, wheels & tires.

« on: October 30, 2023, 10:06:45 am »

As the subject suggests, I have these parts for sale - prices reduced. Electric mirrors - $50 each or $85 pair - several to choose from. Complete '88 headlight systems $100 - 3 to choose from. Great for converting earlier headlights to something that actually works. Assorted wheels with or without good tires - prices will vary but will be well below cost/market value.
Lots of other parts also available.

General Discussion / Any insurance agents out there?

« on: February 04, 2023, 01:46:19 pm »

Sooooo.... I'm paying over $65 a month for a car I drive about 30 miles a month (yes "Tha Driver" doesn't get to drive much anymore). Is there anyone that can write me a policy with limited mileage to save me money? Not State Farm or Allstate please...

The Market / I'm going to sell the Indy

« on: July 08, 2022, 01:35:44 pm »

It's parade lap car #36. I have the original tag receipt from Indiana - 1984 tag #36 - which makes it a DOCUMENTED parade lap car.  It MAY be the only one left of the 150 that were on the track at the 1984 Indy 500 that is DOCUMENTED, although there are "rumors" that two other's are out there (see PFF for two posts on that - search for my user name & documented parade lap cars) .
It's running & driving, but has the usual belt squeal on startup ever since I replaced the alternator (I'll go into detail on that if you're interested).
Grundy didn't have any problem insuring it for $17,000. I'm not going to list any price & I'll explain why on the phone.
Still suffering from Shingles & can't work much (also why this listing is so short) so I need the money to hire some help.
