    Selling my 340 Ralleye car that I picked up locally last year in pretty rough shape. Car needed some attention/saving as it had seen only sporadic starting/short drives since 2009. Car is now safe, reliable and runs/drives well. Just really would prefer a 4-speed car to take to the next...

    Gents, THX for the feedback. This is exactly the kind of advice I was looking for....I do appreciate it. Final question: Rubber vs Poly for the bushings? Car is still running the "mostly original" engine (w an old-school LD4B Intake, 600cfm carb, long tube headers, stock mufflers)...

    Leaf Spring & bushings replacement sources advice

    Forum Folks, I purchased a 73 Ralleye 340 car last year (w 92K miles) that has been rarely driven since 2009, and has LOTs of original parts in-place. As you can imagine, sitting so much coupled to 50-yrs of age has left nearly every rubber hose/gasket/bushing in need of replacement. By...

    All, THX for the feedback. I do appreciate the wiring diagram and will use it to guide my investigation... 1) WRT the possible alternator wiring: all the "regular" alternator wiring appears to be in-place, the ammeter works and charges the battery as it should. (By "regular wiring" I am simply...
