As a high school senior, I installed my share of those "recall straps". My friend's dad owned a small-town Chevy dealership and we did a lot of "after hours and weekends" simple jobs (often the only time a one car family could do without their car). Man life used to be simpler.

Hey those seat covers would bring big bucks on eBay! You probably know this but I'd check the starter wires, the smaller (purple) wire on the solenoid but you will figure that out when you replace the starter. Simple stuff for a guy like you. To those not familiar with the southeast insects are nothing to screw around with down there. Took a hubcap off my latest purchase from NC and a black widow fell on the shop floor and tried to make a get away. It didn't get very far.

That motor mount recall was on 65 to 70 full size Chevys. I don't recollect whether the big blocks had it too. A cook I worked with in 72 had a 69 Impala SS 350 4 speed. He did a hole shot, the motor mounts snapped and the engine jumped up and bent the hood. He didn't have those recall straps on it.

my family test drove a 67 2dr Impala in the summer of 67 for a weekend. It had the optional front corner grill running lights. I thought we were pretty fancy that weekend and when the 68 side marker lights came out a couple of months later, they were kind of a let down, they weren't nearly as big as the 67 Chevy's.

Brown recluse can be a very bad bite even the not so bad bites are awful the venom kills skin cells and skin rots away. A workers mom had to have lower leg amputated from recluse bite. This was fom after efect of the bite though. Probably staff at the bite site. Otherwise most of the rest of american spiders are relativly mild bite. Being bitten before I do get relutance to mess with them ? Being a flood car is it posiable the selinoid wall has rust and the NSS also needs cleaning ?
