yeah that sounds about right.

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST
 

Rick,
Did you ever get that 67 lighter installed I sent you?
How does it look with the light at night?

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST
 

Chad, I did get it, its very beuatiful, i buffed the black around the knob and repainted,then I just cleaned up the back brass part for the actual lighter. Then I took apart the whole light peice and hooked up a wire to the very very very small electrical end, put a new bulb in and hooked it all up to the fuse box and it didnt work, this was around 2 or 3 weeks ago. just yesterday I pluged it into a random spot on the fuse box and I later on messed with the lights and it came on !I was supeerrr happy and pleased with it, thanks again chad!!!


Well guys my truck is going to debut on tonights " unsolved electrical mystery's" LOL, my right turn signals wont blink. when i turn my left turn signals on it wont blink, but the lights are on, this is with the lights switched pulled half out. the funny thing is my radio and radio light and speaker turn on only if my left turn signal is on. in order to get my left turn signal to blink outside, i have to turn my wiper switch to the 1st speed or 2nd speed. now may i ask what the "h" "e" double hockey sticks happened!!!!!!!!!! i just plugged every thing in correctly and its doing this....

Re: slik ricks 67 short wide CST
 

bought a 1964 or 65 ( i believe its 64 since it says GM 4 on it) 327 intake, with oil fill tube and oil fill tube cap. so going to shove her in the solveant tank tommorrow and clean the cap, gonna install the cap on my truck, put the tube in a plastic baggy and keep it in my "extra" parts box, which has extra 67 dash knobs and other 67 year correct stuff. and then the intake will get cleaned painted and ready to sell.
