July 13, 1985, at Wembley Stadium in London, Prince Charles and Princess Diana officially open Live Aid, a worldwide rock concert organized to raise money for the relief of famine-stricken Africans. Continued at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia (where Joan Baez famously kicked it off by telling the crowd "this is your Woodstock, and it's long overdue") and at other arenas around the world, the 16-hour “superconcert” was globally linked by satellite to more than a billion viewers in 110 nations. In a triumph of technology and good will, the event raised more than $100 million in famine relief for Africa.

That is likely the wire that feeds the ignition switch with battery power. A fuse in that wire would be good protection for the rest of the wiring.

Priceless! Not long ago I said to my wife “something must have happened to the Amazon delivery driver because we haven’t received any packages in two days!”

You ain't givin us much to run on here.

@rmaynard Me too Bob, plus I thought of hanging a roll of white duct tape and a Sharpie marker on Howard’s mash pole. That way people could make a quick name tag to stick on their shirt. That is provided he remembers to bring it next year 😂

My badge offers those of us who are using a merroir the opportunity to read it too.

Get a Youtube account and use that to post video's. Much faster. Grandmother had a 59 Biscayne. Copper color with the 6 banger, glide and manual steering!

Here's the other video too 20260712_145306.mp4

We got to see the Big Boy today and we got a few videos of it along with our 59 Biscayne. 20260712_141811.mp4

Yep. If I'm at work and don't see Amazon purchases on our account I wait a bit and then call to make sure everything's okay

The BBT aka Trina and I have been helping @Natejc_98 with his 1973 8 HP 4 speed. Nate's been diving right in with great effort. Really good guy. Here's a few before n after pics of the carb & air cleaner. All cleaned up with a new Briggs fuel bowl installed. We also did a partial disassembly and general cleanup. Changed the drive belt and idler pulley out for better used ones. Swapped the 10" rear wheels for more standard larger wheels & tires. Swapped the destroyed front tires for nicer turfs. Did some investigating on a no electricity to the solenoid issue. Turns out both safety switches were bad. Fixed that and found an intermittent ignition switch connection. Installed new switch from @76c12091520h Brian Badman. Replaced all fuel line and added a turn off and fuel filter. Engine oil change done. Transmission oil change on the list. Trina and I have amassed a fair amount of extra parts over the years. It's great to see them being used. I need to finish the wiring and see about getting the transmission drain plug out.

What bearing exactly did you replace and why? Need more info...pics help, model numbers, part numbers, etc. Anything you can provide.

All models have wiring diagrams in their manual which can be found in our manuals section of this forum. That should answer your question.

I always have my RS handle and name prominently displayed either on my hat or shirt.

I saw this posted on Facebook today and surely is AI but pretty innovative!
