Cory-Sending you a PM with information on the blades I have to add to your chart.

I've done the HeliCoil `repair fix on two or three `drain plug holes with excellent results. OTOH, if `they've already been wallowed out to way oversize, that complicates matters.

Great news!  Thanks

Ditto!

While we're on the subject of batteries, although not "concours", I was at WalMart and saw that they now have EVERSTART Group 24F lead-acid WITH the old end mounts we need! They stock a one year warranty for $69.95 and a two year warranty for $109.95.

I've been at Mustang shows where the organizers had me move my car 3 or 4 times before they made up their minds. My cautionary comment about using the PC680 is not really about the actual battery itself but the way you have to incorporate it into the shell of the repo AUTOLITE.  It requires using terminals and wires, drilling and tapping the undersides of the lead posts. This adds resistance to the equation. If it were simply a matter of using the PC680 by itself and connecting it to the + and - leads of the car, I would have no concerns. Just having a powerpack along makes good sense.  As for using the PC680 in my track cars, even the 351 in the Cobra R, it fired it up even in below freezing temps. While on track, at high rpm, it had ample opportunity to recharge.

We attended the 20th Anniversary of BMW Motorsport there in 1992 with famous cars and drivers from the US, Central and South America, Canada and Europe.

Don't laugh at the PC680.  It looks small but packs a pretty good punch for its size.  I use one in my track car and it's never failed me over years of three day week-end events. Not only that, if left on the shelf, it holds its charge for up to two years. In addition, it saves me well over 15 lb. vs. the stock battery.  I just remembered that I used one in my '95 Cobra R and it was more reliable than the car (but that's another story).

It'll do o.k. but, for multiple starts (say having to move 3 or 4 times in a short period of time), I'd have a jump box along. If, on a long ride, it will have time for the alternator to recharge to a sufficient level.

Bob, plug in Odyssey PC680 on eBay.  Bunch of listings. There are variations: C680, PCM680, PCMT680, etc.
On Odyssey website: https://www.odysseybattery.com/products/ods-agm16l-battery-pc680/

An ODYSSEY PCM680 fits. I cut up a re-pop AUTOLITE 24F from the bottom and gutted it. (Gee, that was fun!)

Great job on the Carolinas SAAC calendars, Brian!  Amazingly fast turnaround and especially via USPS Media Mail. (Who do you know in the post office?) Thanks for your effort in making this happen.

Sending you a PM.

Something else to remember: Last year's $1 was worth more than this year's $1.

No pony in the grille. Not an original color. Re-paint? Or not an original car?
