I get all my spray bomb paints at Carquest, I see in the West Allis, Wi. area you have about a dozen stores. I just used there on line store locator, checked 4 stores, they have #618 @ $9.14 per. From my experience, anything in there system is available overnight since they run there own shuttle yeah i did the same thing then drove to the nearest one and they were close. Got inpatient and ordered it off amazon. However thats the first time i have ever attempted using carquest. Maybe in the future i will give more buisness to them. How is their service?

Searched around a lot of near by auto part stores and home improvement stores and only could locate the duple-color flat black#DA1605. Had to order The Plasti-kote Steel Wheel #618 off of Amazon, Eastwoods Detail Silver, I was only able to locate one can. I have never had to order spray paint online

Received my console from 66442(mike) today. First of all I wanted to say thanks for him going out of his way and having one of his friends exchange console at NATS in des moine. Then his friend calling me when he got home from nationals to come pick it up from his home which was only about 20 miles from me. No shipping charges, and most important no damage. I love it when a plan comes together, Thanks again the console looks great, now all I have to do is paint it Red.

Its really not that bad just time consuming. Put a few beers on ice and make it a day project, better yet put a 12 pack on ice and call a few pals over.

Im working on the same thing and I cleaned mine up and reused them. Its time consuming but works out real well. I also tacked mine in with a small bead of silicone.

well the way I look at it by next weekend the problem should be fixed and I will move on with a hell of a lot more knowledge than I started with or their is always "a match and a gallon of gas" if the problem dosent get fixed. With my luck my dad created that hole when he blew compressed air in the line, but I hope not.

Those are all of the different problems I was encountering while trying different ideas. After putting over 20 hrs of my weekend into this problem your head tends to jumble everything together. Any way I found a leak In the line. The only reason I had found it was My dad came over when I was looking over the line for the second time. he disconnected the line before the pump and blew low pressure air into the line which created a siphon and with pressure from line being full of fuel finally the fuel started to leak out above axle, I will have to wait to fix since I have to work 65 hours this coming week. I tried to provide you guys with as accurate of info I could at the time of each issue when I get frustrated my head gets going every which way but forward. who knows maybe the leak is just the start of isolating the problem. For everyones sake I hope not.

The pump has no p/n or name or even specs, however when I hooked a vacc gauge to it she read out to 15-20 cm hg or (6-7in hg vacc) at the pumps inlet. At the pumps outlet she tops out at 7psig after cranking for about 10 seconds. Outlet pressure drops to zero about 1 min after sitting. I did not adjust floats, whats a standard adjustment as an example (tighten nut all the way down and back off 3 turns). Or do I have to run and check and so on and so fourth.

What I meant to say is That I had got it fired up on a bottle of gas cause I replaced all the flex lines and replaced all the front half of the hard line. The remainder of hard line I inspected really well. After reconnecting to fuel line it was really hard to start even with the pedal to the floor it would just sputter and sputter, so I went out and bought new plugs, something cheap to try. after changing plugs I got her to fire without the bottle and it was backfiring a lot, I'm guessing from holding pedal to floor and being starved from fuel at same time, about 30 minutes later I tried again and got it fired again without the bottle it ran about 10-12 minutes, shut it off and it wouldn't refire. I'm gonna drain all the gas today and get new today and look into possible flooding due to throttle linkage being set high/allowing too much fuel is something I could have over looked when installing new carb. Plug wires are all correct, i changed one at a time knowing I didn't want that problem. gonna keep plugging away and get this thing figured out sometime.

Ok guys so i just finished replacing all fuel lines. Heated all fittings and clamped them all down tight. still had to start on a bottle of gas. reconnected to fuel line and she ran great till i shut it off then she didn't want to refire even if i held gas pedal to the floor. I'm puzzled I had put a lot of time into all of this and nothing. I mean its ok I will just have to try something else but really. I also replaced plugs, when I got her fired up she was back firing a lot. maybe a problem with timing? ??

Im curious also. I have 3 grills and two of them are different. I know BR[]s site tells you the difference but wouldn't a 442 have more chrome and less paint, only saying, being what it is. In BR[]s "is it a clone" it states for a 442 less chrome and more flat black , at least on the grill and bezels. To me thats odd cause a 442 was an option , an upgrade. People pay more money for chrome right or wrong. Either way it dosent matter to me, however now a days people will pay more for chrome, even if its plastic/chrome. (my 2009 chevrolet rear bumper side skirts)
