Greetings, I am a U.S. Navy Seabee in Guam, I work in the maintence department of Explosive Ordinance Disposal Mobile Unit 5 (I fix the hummers and light duty trucks for the navy's bomb squad). I am arranging for the purchase of a 1970 Maverick, complete with a rather well built 302 and brand new tranny already in it. This will be the first domestic car I have ever owned, my other two cars are an '86 Honda Civic CRX and a '00 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT. I have found communities on the web dedicated to both of those cars, and they have helped a lot when it comes to wrenching on them, hopefully I will get the same benefits from joining this community. I am looking forward to getting dirty under the hood, as are most of the other guys in my shop, the Maverick will be one of maybe 10 classic american cars on base. I will probably be here pretty constantly looking for advice and new things I can do to squeeze even more power out of the V8.
hi , "(I fix the hummers and light duty trucks for the navy's bomb squad)." if i read this right, they blow them up and you repair them??? ...frank...
Welcome to the board. When it comes to Mavericks, you can't find a better place than this for information about working on them. Good to have you here.
Actually they usually slam them into stationary objects or try to do 100+ on jungle trails on thier way to go blow stuff up. Then they give them back to us to fix.
