Spring swamp meet

[Stretch]

It's spring! I know this because even though we got well over a foot of snow a little over a week ago, Its time for Jass and I to head off to 68RT's place for the first of the bi-annual Jefferson swap meets. We refer to the spring meet as the swamp meet because it almost always rains and makes the fair grounds a muddy mess. This year the weather looks to be in the high 60's to low 70's with no rain or wind but they got over a foot of snow last week so who knows how firm the ground will be.

Lets hope we knock the ball out of the park again this year!

The snow is gone, ground is dry and very little chance of any moisture. This spring meet just may end up being an exception to the norm. One week ago I had snow in the yard.Today the grass is turning green.

I found a few things I couldn't live without. It was well worth braving the cold. 32 deg. yesterday morning with a high in the mid 50's, but at least the wind was cold. It was about the same on Friday. We shall see what today brings.


We got a little something for you Bill. :toot:

I took a bit of a risk and dropped some cash on a complete '70 340. I was assured by the seller it was good. But I was very skeptical. After getting it home I pulled the plugs, they show zero signs of oil consumption. I grabbed the bore-a-scope and all the cylinders look like new. :banana: We shale see what the tear down brings.:hmmm: I also picked up a pair of grills to keep "in stock" for my charger. I managed to break one of them before I even left Jefferson. One of the mounting points got stuck between the ribs of my bed liner, when I grabbed it to move it it broke. I learned quickly and avoided doing the same to the other one (Yes, it was stuck in the bed liner ribs too).

I picked up a nice set of core big valve J heads (That I don't need), a real nice 4 speed hump for my Valiant and a spare small block B-Body A-833.

I also found the correct 273,318,340 oil pan for my valiant and a 340 engine mount.
