yep-thats for aux inputs MP3/cd...
im in contact with him. he gave me the dealer he buys from.
keep in mind-ebay gets 225+ for a core unit plus 3-400 for a rebuild.
then 550/500 sounds pretty good and takes up less space!
repops are brand new, 12v-ground, aux input plus am/fm... and take up
less
Could you send the instructions to me? I am ready to re-install my hood on
the 53 1/2

There is a trick to installing the hood properly. Consult your
manual if you have one, if not, contact me and i'll get you the
details.
Has to do with setting a wood blobk under the latch while you
tighten the hinges. I fought mine for a while, tried the proven
way, and it worked right off!
Jim,
Just remember this -
With a past vehicle did you ever say "Boy, I sure wish I never got rid of
that I had" or, "I shouldv'e kept that one" or, "I wonder what it looks
like now" or, "I sure miss " ?
If the answer is yes, then do not sell as you will be searching your whole

Engine is 216 but it's the same hookup.

Can you send me a couple of pics off line, and your asking price, in case I
have someone here in Wichita Falls that is interested.

Both oil lines on my 235 connect to the lower part of the block just above
where the oil pan bolts on. They're positioned on either side of the exhaust
pipe - one is about 2" above the other. If you can wait, I can take a couple
of digital pics when I get home from work and send them to
Shoot, the list is a lot longer than that! mopars, fishing, hunting, guitars,

The oil line connection on the block is 1/8 pipe thread. The rear most one
about is 2/3 of the way back from the front is the in to the filter. This is
also where your oil pressure gauge is hooked up. The one closer to the
front of the motor is the return line.

I had ordered new oil filter lines from Chevy duty and went to install them
on my newly rebuilt 235 but there is allot of holes that they could go into,
I remember someone posting earlier that one of the lines connects to the top
of the head but the only hole up there that I found is to big for the
well, looks like the best he will do is if i buy 10 for 495/each.
but he let slip that they come from somewhere else. im totally willing
to make a deal with maker if one of you enterprising guys with time
can find me the maker... =)

Try this. With the hinges as low as they can go, and tight, raise the hood
and have someone hold the hood up just exerting some force on it. Then
install the springs and tighten them down at the firewall. Once tightened,
have the other person release the pressure on the hood. It shou

I have a totally unqualified opinion: they can last for years and years.
Mileage means zilch. If they creak/squeak when you bounce up and down on the
fender, replace them then. Until then, save your money for a overpriced repop

Even though my GMC is running quite well I have a question about my wife's

If it's in the wheel / drum , you may well find it's nothing more

Second, it lays perfectly in front of the hole on my 216han
