I think that's what the Orphans section is for. I'm on there almost daily hoping someday my engine will pop up for my 68.

Yea me too!
Seems most of what I’ve seen on orphans is
stuff for sale on eBay or craigslist , etc .

Is there a thread or has anyone ever considered
Posting your non numbers matching engine,
transmission or 3rd member codes?
Maybe I have your motor or you have my transmission ?
Not a classified add as they are not allowed .

My father gave me his shifter ball, this thing is heavy, but it has a set screw hole

The one I found on eBay with a set screw
like yours must be aftermarket, you say it’s heavy!
Originals were only 4oz

Thanks

Robkes’s was at 3rd and Madison in Covington, Ky. That was right across the river from Cincinnati. Later, in the 90’s it moved to the location where it closed, like you knew, about 6 years ago. Now, Wyler Kia (I believe what I was told) is at that location. Several of the employees scattered to other dealers, of which my buddy could elaborate as he knows a lot of guys in the auto business. From what I have been told, no old records exist.

Thank You Sir !
In the mean time an internet search
produced a phone number of a realtor
Lady , a Robke, I left her a message then the next day
I get a phone call from Bud Robke, the 4 generation
Owner of the dealership , who closed it amidst the GM
Bankruptcy !!
sadly Mr. Robke said that every 7yrs they disposed
Of all sales records 😢
That’s ok I guess!!! Any result is better than never knowing

General Discussion / Re: Wiring harness question

« on: October 08, 2018, 11:03:03 AM »

Basically the main harness wouldn't have more connections, only the extension harness adds to the gauges option. Bottom harness picture plugs into factory harness, top harness pucture would plug into gauge extension harness that is sold separately. Just need to look up how your car is for the correct harness.

So does this mean main harness “fuse panel harness”
Is the same?
My car has console with gauges and 4spd ,
those harnesses are good , I just want to replace
the main section.
Thanks

That was in my neck of the woods. Northern Ky. in the Greater Cincinnati area. One of my buddies was good friends with the parts manager. I’ll be seeing him tomorrow...hope I can remember to ask him. What is it that you would like to know?

EPIC!
Inventory/sales history from 68
Dealer Advertisement stuff from
way back then.
Did it just close down, or is it under new ownership?
Would anybody keep or have old records from them ?

Thanks for replying !
