Greetings Guys; Wow time is speeding by at 28,000 MPH? Well I contacted the 4 most interested guys since I've been trying to sell this "Bronze Brick". It was a little over ten years ago that I knew I couldn't afford it any longer & started my sell mentality. And some how I managed to finish the Global West front end, Big bucks. Get the steering box & pump blue printed (I hate that phrase) by Tommy Lee. Re-Fresh the upper end, had a cracked lifter, couldn't see it with the naked eye. That included springs, as it has taken me 50+ years to figure out they only last 12,000 miles if I'm driving! New Guide seals of course. Retainers the new (2014) ultra thin tool steel light weight little devils. I weighed them compared to my very used Titanium retainers (for sale cheap- good spares). Hardened lash caps. And the sweet Comp Cams Rockers. So 5 - 6 years later & 3000 miles I'm checking the valves again, since I haven't had the covers off for a couple of years. Forced by cheap valve cover gaskets, tried rubber (made in China), they are in the trash. $50 dollars later I'm back to Fel- Pro only this time silicone. Anyway the upper valve train looks to be in fantastic condition, good for another 10,000 to 15,000 miles.
So here is the game changer, I hate f____ng computers & all their related switches , sensors & wires. Sign that I'm from the past & I alway wondered way the old guys liked flat heads! My beloved Holden GuTOo has went into safe mode, my ole' bicycle is faster now. Yes it through's a code & of course ya need a code reader! My gas pedal switch has un balanced voltage! Must be the owner's un balanced brain that transfered down my leg to the switch?? Of course out of production. Renders the car nearly useless. OK very nice art, Ole' Bob.
Ps: Maybe I should consider keeping the Bronze Brick & selling the GuTOo???? The goddess of Speed seems to be telling me something?
