As I mentioned last week I finally got the Prestolite broken free and I’ve been working with it, but after reading posts on Pertronix or HEI I’m...
You're right, takes away a good shipping option. Here's their map. https://www.fastenal.com/fast/blue-lane-freight
Finally: success! I decided to ignore it for a few weeks, just kept hitting it with Kroil. Today I removed the grill, radiator and fan, put a...
Fastenal is good, and pretty reasonable too, but they have two shipping zones, East and West, they will not ship from one zone to the other.

Thanks for the suggestions, glad to hear you finally got yours out.
Good idea, I'll check, thanks.

Oh man, I've been waiting for that one to show up around me. V-6, flanged 44, I'd buy it for the drive train.
Question: is it possible to have the 350 flex plate rebalanced to work on the 225? If so, anyone know where to get the done?
I picked up the adapter and flex plate on the left today. They came out of a '69 or '70 Commando with a Dauntless 225 V-6. The two items on the...
Thanks Tim, appreciate that information. I'm still waiting to see if I can get the 225 flex plate I heard about.
