Made a little progress today. The banger has left the building. No pics to update, because my wife won't let me use her camera. Hoping to get the...
I dunno, but my A has one, too. It runs to a different part of the timing gear cover, though.
I've seen some posts on fordbarn about the F150 swap behind the bangers. Looks pretty sano sitting back there. Dig those SU's, too.
Not a lot of progress going on. Still haven't got her driving yet, but I picked up some goodies today:
I'm almost as excited about the Friday night party as I am about race day.
Good plan!
I can't believe so many people are telling you it's not worth the trouble. I'd LOVE to hit a lick like that. Digging through old parts and finding...
1 part Dexron II, IIe or III Automatic Transmission Fluid - GM Spec D20265 or later 1 part K1 Kerosene 1 part Aliphatic Mineral Spirits...
The rear axle and front suspension clip from 78 Nova is the same as a 70-81 Camaro. Buy for a grand, keep the engine/trans, strip out the wiring...
I happen to have the engine and trans from a 1929 AA truck in the bed of my pickup. Just went outside and looked, and the e-brake handle is just...
FWIW, I had one of those, and it works fine on 12V. I need to look around and see if I can find it...it's been sitting in a box somewhere since...
Don't buy one of the new Craftsman jacks. My high-dollar 4 ton one went tits up after only a few dozen uses over the years. The POS hydro unit is...
I just went through a similar situation with the starter on my A's banger. New brushes and a quick polish of the armature where the brushes run,...
Jan, if it's been that long, surgery probably won't help with the nerve damage. I've had numb toes, a twitchy right leg/foot since I blew discs in...
Hylomar.
I've been looking around at spray bombs that are "close enough" to the maroon, and plan to shoot the deck lid and hood. Eventually it's going to...
Man, how did I miss that one! Must have been there sometime earlier or later than when we came to the BBQ. NICE CAR!!!
That's on the "Things to Try" list, but my shop is in kind of a narrow space. I'm hoping I can get it freed up without driving it around with the...
Been a while...I killed the starter, rebuilt it, and now I've got the engine running well! Now I have to figure out how to get the clutch plate...
Butch, the engine's at least had the heads off at some point. It has later-model heads on it. What are the casting numbers?
Cato's Custom Upholstery in Temple (515) 822-5851. Cato's a good guy who'll do you right. Worth the drive.
So far all I've gotten is a little bit of spudda spudda spudda and a lot of blue smoke from the Marvel Mystery Oil I put in the cylinders. :(
Looking through the thread, and when I get to pages 37 and 38 Google Chrome throws up a malware alert. Doesn't do it on any other pages (so far!).
Very cool. Loved the music, too.
More video, please! Love this thing!
I used to work at a Haley shop. We used it to keep the bikes shiny. It won't hurt the paint, but you might end up with more shine on your flat...
Not surprised...can't find them on the Coker website, though. :rolleyes:
Anyone ever bought from a place called Only Oldies? A little more than I wanted to spend, but looks promising (pic shows WW, but listed as BW):...
Take a case of his favorite beer over and offer to work on it WITH him. Repeat. You'll either get run off or make a friend and get to work on...
Thanks, guys. Tiny, sounds like you've got a pretty good set-up with those tires. They look good on the car, and 55mph I can live with. Looks like...
