I started writing on boxes a while back, to save keep opening them looking for stuff I'd bought years ago.
A good lot of the stuff I bought for the Dart 10 years ago , was much cheaper £ to $ .
I bought alloy big valve heads, a carb and a 4 barrel, 2 cam shaft kits( wasn't sure what I wanted), and all the 727 parts.
Plus other random stuff.
Marking up boxes also helps out you wife and kids sorting it all out when you croak, and leave behind a barn full of parts .
They won't know what they fit if you don't write on the box.🤔

I moved the Dart today , from its years sleeping place.it was stuck , so I had to winch it out , on to the ramp .
Next job , refit the gearbox.
And try to remember where all the bolts and part are.

I've just spent 4 hrs trying to find the nut and bolt stash ,from when I took the gearbox out about 10 years ago ?
Finally found them.All together , which is nice , but not in the boot of the car 🙄

I've just had a look back at my build thread.
I took the gearbox out in November 2016 😳
So nearly 10 years.😳

It's a bit heavy 😕
Too heavy for me to lift onto the gearbox jack.
