    Frank, do you deadhead your fuel line to the carb or add a return line to the tank?

    Examined the damage again from hitting the deer the other week. Need to figure out what I am able to salvage and not. Keep wishing that there was a way to save the hood.

    Found out why the part I need is actually a new torque converter. :biglaugh:
    The ring gear is welded on to it.. :hmmm:

    At this point I might as well just leave it alone till I can save up some $.

    Not sure what you are trying to say....................the ring gear is welded to the flex plate, and the converter is bolt'd to flexplate.................at least in my car it is.............................but maybe because my car is a race only car.........................it could be different:huh:
