What did you do with your ebody/Mopar today?

[YellowThumper]

I quit my job so I can start taking the "baggies full of parts" down off the wall and start putting them back on the car. Some of them baggies are 40 years old. Got fed up with all the B.S at work decided it was time to quit . although at my age some would call retirement. Either way my new focus will be the challenger that has been sitting since 83. Cheers

Congratulations on the "freedom"
Definitely developing that mindset myself. Creeping in daily now.

Well this is a good  reminder on how the years pass and we forget stuff....
Last night I decided to take the Challenger out for a cruise. Driving down a nice country road, tunes cranked. Just finished successfully  tunning the carb a few days before. Then all of a sudden it bucked and stalled. Would not fire. I had to do the flatbed of shame....I go up this morning  I was thinking coil. I had a spare, installed it , nope just a backfire. I then pulled off the distributor cap and jumped the starter switch and noticed it went around a little then stopped.
Then though uh oh, timing chain but then I have a gear drive that would have to be a rear mess in order for that to happen. Pulled the distributor and found it was just the gear. Then I tried to order one..... everyone was out of stock , jegs, Summit Mancini, searched on ebay, nothing, amazon, nothing. Phoned Milodon and they had none. Said maybe September!  They suggested Indy cylinder head, called and have one coming. Thank goodness!
I usually  plan on replacing it every 5 years I have one here I did at 3 years as in a pinch I could have reused it but found a new one. Engine is now 13 years old with a hyd roller camshaft and I only have 1 used one lying around so I must have gapped it . Lesson learned!
Indy Cylinder heads to the rescue!

I think many of us are around the age to retire. No point waiting. I start my retirement journey end of March this year. Very relaxing, no more emails, Team meetings, project deadlines and all the BS that goes along with it.

Just learned I have left too much off of the boost "fun" table.
Full throttle is only opening 70% to 75% of the way. Gonna have to rectify that situation...

Wow, that sounds so nice! My projects are at a standstill because of work, but I'm getting up there in age, I'll be 65 next month. Planning to work to 67, have to because of economy later in life.

Seat belts installed, started to install the Vintage Air system, but still need the AC lines before I can continue. Tank vent repaired and installed. Rear differential coming back next week for install (full end to end rebuild with 3.55 and a sure grip).  block almost done at the machine shop, they found one funky rod from the factory that needed replaced, should have it end of next week hopefully. Found out I need an expensive clutch setup....grrrr

Crunch time coming on hard .... bought a new house on the other side of the State and will be moving before end of August

Nice!  Twice the population of where I live.  Awesome area.  I have been looking for private property in Moffat county for years to hunt dinosaurs on.  Specifically Jurassic.   There are awesome Albertosaurus teeth that come out of that jurassic formation.  I was recently researching a few quarry sites in that county.   
  Your close to Dinosaur as well.  There is a lot to do up there if you are an outdoors kinda guy.  I have found some cool 1800's coins and bullets in that county.  Great petroglyph's and pictograph's as well.
  Much better than denver.  Congrats!

Had to see that bare belly. The rest comes off this weekend. Then DP40. I just couldn't trust the previous owner, yet I've found no flaws.
After almost 7 months of a major home remodeling project and a surprise pool failure  that I had to contend with, I'm back at it in the Dodge Lodge.

Nice and clean to install those subframe connectors!
