New intake manifold is in.  Hopefully this weekend I’ll have time to throw it on.

Meanwhile, been working on getting a quote for a Morton building.  Looking at a 54x60x14 building.

Also, took some time to build a few toothbars for tractor buckets.  One for me, one for a guy I work with.

I’m going to name mine “SWEET CAROLINE”.  After my wife who has been ill but doing much better now.

Emma seems like a good one to me. But this is really a personal matter. In my experience, the car suggests the name. I don’t remember thinking about naming Bridget.

Same thing with my mom’s old Nova when i was a kid. The car was called “Bess,” and that was that. My dad’s Nova, basically the same car, did not get a name. And my Nova–also the…[Read more]

Here’s what I have. A pull switch to provide the twelve volts and a starter button to energize the starter.

Welcome🍻

Welcome

But if you really want to be super cool, you can buy a pull to start switch just like on the original TD’s.  Many sources.

My hands down favorite name in the club is “Money Penny” I’m a huge bond fan and I think it’s Brilliant! Just thinking of your car…Perhaps “Emily” would be nice or if you’re looking for something a little more “Sinister” then “Emora or Esmeralda” might work…

I used a marine grade, normally open, push button switch wired in series with the keyed ignition switch. The marine switch has 15 amp rated contacts so heat and high amperage switching is not an issue. Reason for wiring push button in series with ignition switch is so I can turn the engine off. Wiring diagrams in tech section will show schematics

You could stick with the Bond theme and call her “M”, and you could be the gadget guy “Q”! Peele is good though. Maybe the name of the British writer in Murder She Wrote. Just a few thoughts spinning around in my head. My TDr is “MoneyPenny” and my 74 Ghia was “Das Feureren” (the fox).

Welcome aboard Rabien73. Are you doing tweaks on your TDr or building? Either way, you’ve come to the right place.
