Yeah, that whole fuel injection thing doesn’t work for me…….it’s not very reliable, our set up was not designed for it……constantly got to fool with it, etc. The heavily modified E4OD that we installed with the modulated torque converter has worked great for me…..I’m able to keep the RPM’s under control and cruise at 70-75 MPH with the flow of traffic and no worries. Also works great for downhill grades by just switching to a lower gear. All 370LE’s were geared 5:29 to 1 by Gillig so at 55MPH they were screamers anyway. But in 1989 when they were built the National speed limit here in the states was 55MPH. Regards, Bob

So you know with these Holley 4180C carburetors which are obsolete……2 stage power valves NLA. But moving forward, repaired the linkage for the fast idle/choke. We found an electric (motorcraft) choke, NIB. Everything is looking good for Saturday. Regards, Bob

Yes, what a project that was…..I removed about 200’ of useless wire that was bunched up and wire-tide together. I ended up making 2 wood dashboards, the first one was really trial and error……I aced the second one. I probably ended up with the same amount of wire as I started with, each electronic gauge had 5 wires, but I happy with the overall job. Regards, Bob

I got a phone call from a customer of mine that I’ve been dealing with for 32 years this morning. The dealership that he has been working at sold recently. They have been sitting on these (2) 30 lb cans of R-12 for 27 years. The parts manager knew I wanted them and offered them to me for $800.00 a piece over the last 15 years. Well…….he lost his job last month with the sale of the dealership…….couldn’t happen to a nicer guy ! My tech that I have been doing business with for 32 years got them both for me @ $300.00 a piece plus (4) Snap-On beach (lake) towels !!!!!! What a score. Charly (Streamquest) said he’ll be driving his 370LE down to my shop for a recharge. When we unexpectedly pulled his 460 out for a rebuild we lost the R-12 gas because I didn’t bring my recycler with me. What a score !!!!!!Regards, Bob

Any interest and availability to help reclaim the R12 in the Big Silver Onion?
I still have to attach my gauges to figure out what’s going on, but I likely need to replace the compressor or expansion valve (and drier) and don’t want to vent whatever is in there to the atmosphere.
