(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/b>Let me tell you how my batting average has been at over a half-dozen swap meets this year – .000.\u00a0 That all changed here.\u00a0 Sure I\u2019ve found stuff I really didn\u2019t need, but the stuff I was looking for seemed to elude me.\u00a0 Not only did I find something on my list, but I found several of them with prices ranging from near new retail to downright dumb cheap.\u00a0 The selection was optimal and though I didn\u2019t find much else on my list I feel it was a successful trip.\u00a0 I always seem to find stuff I don\u2019t need more <\/span>of<\/span>, but want<\/span> anyway<\/span>.\u00a0 I typically manage to pick up a few old magazines and if I find some cool little Johnny Lightning cars then I will drop a few dollars on that.\u00a0 At this event we got a little bit of everything and were witness to several good deals.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m fascinated by induction systems and more specifically, intake manifolds.\u00a0 There was no shortage of them to see this time.\u00a0 Lots of garden variety stuff, but also several older manifolds and setup that you just don\u2019t see often enough anymore.\u00a0 We happened upon a drag racing game I should have bought, but we\u2019d already spent our allotment and couldn\u2019t see going to the ATM for that.\u00a0 A Chrysler 300 gauge cluster caught my eye.\u00a0 It has to be one of the best-looking setups ever.\u00a0 An old coupe dirt tracker was sweet and would be cool if<\/span> converted to run on the street.\u00a0 A Dodge Aspen wagon was just begging to be shaped into a super sleeper.\u00a0 Several cars were already sold by the time we got there, but still sitting in their spots \u2013 teasing us.\u00a0 If anyo0ne reading this is feeling particularly generous, I\u2019d live a set of those 17\u201d aluminum rally wheels for our Chevy II.\u00a0 What was it I picked up that was on my \u2018need\u2019 list\u2026?\u00a0 I got a Holley 3310 750cfm <\/span>carb<\/span> to rebuild for $30.\u00a0 The 600cfm unit on our car is too small after the changes we made in the spring.\u00a0 Later we nearly walked past a Speed Demon 750 which is exactly what I had been searching for.\u00a0 This one will be getting a kit right away and going on the car ASAP.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure it will need jetted, secondary spring changed, and more, but I am looking forward to it.\u00a0 If you happen to be in need of stuff come next year this time I suggest hitting this swap meet.\u00a0 It brought an end to one quest that had lasted over six months.\u00a0 Enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n
