Ah yes, so guys who can afford to pay someone to build their car heard all about it. Now the turnout completely makes sense. I have built 3 cars,...
I forgot about that bit.
I’ve said this before but the problem with these shows in the modern day is marketing. It is nearly 100% word of mouth amongst people who are...
Although it’s only been a day, OP hasn’t come back to restore order so this has become the equivalent of an unattended whiteboard in a factory...
Maybe you have tried this, but is it possible to remove the intake and the distributor as an assembly so you can work on a bench?
Oh, it’s one of those… Gotta throw the whole car out.
I would argue that there is nothing inherently wrong with compression fittings in certain applications; they wouldn’t be ubiquitous if they didn’t...
I’m sorry but those pictures are not descriptive enough. What are we supposed to be looking at?
From what I can see from the drawing, you should check the starter, the solenoid, and the neutral safety switch. The starter being new is the...
Sounds like the solenoid is not engaging. Is it the ford in your avatar?
The problem on Friday at least was that nearly everyone there was a participant- either showing a car or at a booth… It was pretty obvious there...
$12,500 in 1980 was nearly $50k in today money. Were they worth that much back then?

On the GM overdrives, there is a piston that is engaged inside the pan by the cable. The optimal way to adjust it is to take all of the slack out...
This one is going to be GOOD
I was able to set the idle with my fingertips- the idle mixture screws are knurled so I did the usual 2 turns out and adjusted from there for...
Have you ever tried genuine parts on it yet? Some of the stromberg copies use different threading for jets and such from what I’ve read here. It...

About 2/3 of cars trailered into the swap area didn’t have any pricing or “for sale” signage at all… I haven’t been around long enough to know if...
I don’t recall seeing anything “32” (including glass cars) under $75k. I could be wrong about that car though
