May as well post this here, too…

I’d like to convert/upgrade my Barracuda’s 225 slant 6 to a 2-barrel “Super Six” setup (this was standard on all slants made after 1977), so I’m in the market for the complete kit. “Complete” meaning that it came right off the donor car with all the extra brackets, small parts, nuts, and bolts included. Here’s a list:
- Two barrel intake manifold
- Carburetor (Carter BBD or Holley 2280)
- Two barrel carburetor choke thermostat coil
- Exhaust manifold compatible with the two barrel carb choke coil
- Cable-style throttle cable, cable bracket and return spring bracket
- Automatic transmission kickdown linkage for a two barrel carburetor
- Super Six air cleaner
Also wanted: The metal fuel line from the donor car, if possible (between the fuel pump and the carb).
Would prefer everything rebuilt, blasted & painted, but as long as all the parts are all there I would settle for them dirty & greasy, too. Just trying to avoid eBay prices. Can anyone help me out? Looking to spend anywhere from $150 to $250.
Thanks!

I decided to check the latest copy of the AT&T White Pages today, just to make sure that our home telephone number was unlisted like it was supposed to be, and wouldn’t you know it, there it was, plain as day, in the April 2007 issue. I couldn’t remember exactly when I had called AT&T to request that our phone number be non-published, but I figured it was at least a year ago. Turns out, I was right. I actually called in and requested they remove our number from the published listings back on November 1st, 2006. Yet for some unknown reason, it still managed to get included in the next print version of the White Pages as well as WhitePages.com. What’s even more aggravating is that no one at AT&T could tell me why! The person that was helping me was very nice and apologetic (she also sounded quite embarrassed), yet she could not reach anyone at WhitePages.com today because “they were closed for the holidays.” So she suggested I try to call them directly tomorrow to ask them why my number is still showing up on their site. As for who to call to inquire about why my number is still showing up in the actual book, I have no leads… So I suppose I’ll just keep calling back at the main number and asking them until I can get someone that can tell me.
I really do despise AT&T…
