Well, that was a surprise! Add 4 cast aluminum frying pans, an AC condenser, a copper radiator, and 5 small electric motors to the above picture, and I walked with $57.63! Woohoo!
I know who's buying lunch today. I'll take a Wendy's #1 with a Frosty.
Fleming - is that a perfectly good 4.3 you're discarding?
I would've given you $60 for that alone - we collect them. :-/

No, it was a locked up supercharged Series 2. I gave it a half asked try, but decided there's enough of them out there that it wasn't worthwhile. Now, that I'm thinking about it, I should have pulled the intake and valve covers. Dummy!
I think this little project will take me to my grave. Carpal tunnel syndrome is kicking in already.
Stripping copper is wayyyyyy too much work. Mine goes in a metal trash can, lots of times on a machine rebuild the electrician tosses it in the dumpster and I go diving. Any of the iron I replace on equipment goes in the bed of the service truck, then waits in the bed of the 80 Chevy until a suitable load is achieved. This go around I had 7300 lbs, figured it should be about 450-500 clams. Scrap was down to $90 a ton for steel. Mudafinga……. $328.00 was all it brought. Still, it's 328 bucks I didn't have before.
Yeah, I was stripping wire- didn't have anything else to do. It's more about cleaning up the garage.
