It's HEMI time !!! Compliments of NJSteve

Got the alternator back today and it turns out that the internal leads to the diodes and the stator were broken due to the alternator ingesting some foreign object in the past. Who knows whether it was a giant bug or a loose screw sometime in the past 38 years, but now it works again. The alternator repairman replaced the rear bearing, the brushes and soldered the connections back, and now it puts out 55 amps. It cost $80.25 total.

Oh, happy day! Now the amp gauge actually goes to the right and not just the left.

Well, it's pretty evident that Steve's Hemi has gotten a LOT of justified attention. It's had articles written about it and is on Hemming's short list for the MuscleMachine of the Year. I think I found out what the editors of the magazine REALLY think about this car..........

My latest issue has this in it............













































Steve, I'm sure you get the magazine, but if you want, I'll send you the card. That way you can save it separately.

I'm away for the week and still haven't gotten my copy yet. Thanks for the moral support!

I think it's time to have my son try and ride the chopper - he's the exact age now, that I was in the photo. It should be fun to watch.

Raliegh DL-603, I am going to say pre '72 due to the lack of mandated reflectors, and presence of Sturmey Archer "NUT BUSTER" shifter, rivited front badge.
White or yellow? Are those still redwalls, I hated when the occasional knobby would come out of the box instead of the cheater slick. kids screaming I want the slick, like a race car!! I'm haveing flashbacks here.Yea I assembled a few..

It was yellow, 1970 model with the taller upper frame rail. It was quite the challenge. Never could manage a wheelie though.
