thanks all. i am going to check out the lines and air in the system as possible culprite - or perhaps they are on backwards. as for the steering...
hi all, my 64 galaxie's transmission was not shifting into 3rd so i brought it to the local aamco station. i know some of these places arent the...
went to look last sat and it was def not an original 4 speed. the swap was well done or at least seemed that way but there was very little left...
yeah im planning on rolling down hope to take the galaxie. if you want to take the 50 down let me know. we can roll low and slow.
hey Jessie - car looks killer and those are some great shots as well. Hope all is good. - jason (ps may be going to see a 41 coupe this weekend!)
pork - i had removed the vin later yesterday. i understand now that the vin can be manipulated and as such i had taken it down yesterday. the...
spoke to the owner again who said that the door tag is missing thus no way to verify if it is a factory deal. for what he is asking price wise its...
he does have a title but for sake of fairness i removed VIN from thread. engine is not original but owner is going to research the door tag to...
the vin was in a public posting on a webpage so i was not snooping around his car and printing vin numbers. its for sale locally and that is...
im not if the engine and trans are original. i looked online and saw that in 63 there were roughly 4000 meteor sedans plus 2700 2 door custom...
got it - simplest way was as said above. put weight on belt and turned fan - duh. no problem. thanks all!
evidently my 283 is of the pressed in harmonic balancer and pulley so i have no crankshaft bolt. i need to rotate the engine to set timing and...
i am thinking i may just need to drill out the hole in the carb bracket to make it a tad bigger for the stock rod to fit thru. i can then drill a...
thanks all - i dont want to change it if i dont have to.
ey all, please forgive if this is an idiotic question but i am swapping my stock carb to an edelbrock 500. got everything installed except that...
thanks all - picked up a set of basic valve covers with a breather, pcv valve and an oil port. anyone know what size freeze plug that air...
sorry i meant other than doing the freeze plug swap if there is a way to use this setup.
hah well i def dont want to reinvent the engine. is there any way to use this intake then or do i need to find a way to adapt something to the...
trying to swap to a new edelbrock intake and carb and this thingamabob is in the way of the intake manifold. any idea what it is and if it...
i did the same on the c10. thankfully no one was hurt and no other cars were hit. luckily a stock oem fender was ending on ebay that day so i...
hmm. i didnt drive the car for fear of breaking something. i was just idling the car but not sure at what rpms. the starter gear was in its...
thanks John. that makes sense. the last one was burnt and didn't "whir" upon shutting off the key so that makes sense if its was stuck and thus...
GOT IT! simply took a vice and slowly and as evenly as i could put just enough pressure to get the rubber piece to contract and then barely tapped...
i have a factory manual, i have read every damn post i can find online and yet nothing works. i have reman starter and a new / reman starter...
i know that is a dumb question but since i sold my 48 chevy fleetmaster proj i have nearly 2800 in parts in new boxes. i understand the...
hey all, well hopefully this will be somewhat useful to others. I have some wiring gremlins and i cant follow the factory diagram in black and...
if anyone from new england wants to make a group ride let me know. i have a 63 c10 that can haul lots of tools, welder etc. or take my 64...
well looks like the neutral safety switch went the way of the dodo bird. i decided to try and bypass it just to see if that was the issue and the...
hi all, i appreciate the feedback. i am on vacation this week so i cant do any more damage than i prob already have. i am by no means any sort...
well i didnt look over all the wiring too thoroughly - my fault - as i was able to take the car o n a 20 minute test drive inc thru town and on...
