The thread about dropped axles reminded me of this. Thought I’d put it in OT rather than clutter that thread up. [MEDIA]
Had to take the same pic last year! [ATTACH]
If you haven’t rotated the engine at any point only the pushrods where the lifter oil hole is lined up with the gallery will be getting oil when...
4”x2” strapped to the chassis with some blocks as spacers.
Not uncommon on early British cars to have an iron block and aluminium crankcase. Rolls Royce Silver Ghosts are like that. That isn’t one of those...
If the guides are bad, changing seals or o rings won’t really help.
I’m working on banging my head against a wall. Everything I touch this week turns to crap. The front bearing in my generator has started...
Well done looks like a great starting point. I’ve got a 352cu in my Merc. Even in that form they’re a great engine. I was really surprised when I...
I always thought a suicide front end is where the axle is beyond the chassis/spring so if something breaks the chassis hits the ground rather than...
As well as what others have says above. Is the slave cylinder on the left seized?
Perhaps an odd choice for pic of favourite car as it’s not even a whole car. But for me it’s Gene’s paint that always stands out. [ATTACH]
As mention earlier they changed the alternator/gen mounting boss. The pulley stayed in the same place as I modified a later one to fit my 62 as it...
Looks very similar in process to the Eaton I use in the race car. Just slightly different way to determine if you’ve got the right shims. Tom’s...
None of them are my thing but at least you could find the others in the parking lot! Why is it grey?
As you say an aerial cable is just a coaxial, surely you can cut it and add a plug.
That looks like a very original car even down to the carpets. There’s mouse droppings in there though :eek: I think it needs more care than just...
Most European towbars work like that. I’ve got one on my daily. The towball and its mounting bolt on to the strengthening beam at the back of the car.
If it actually needs a full rebuild as the mechanic says then presumably he has found that the sump has literally filled with water and the crank...
Thanks. It sounded like something bouncing off gear teeth. I was properly worried! I couldn’t really work out what I could have done So far so...
Got the carb back on with a phenolic spacer instead of the aluminium one, hopefully will make hot starting easier. [ATTACH] And filled the...
They fit on just like a dog dish hubcap.
It doesn’t have the normal type of seal for an FE distributor and they don’t usually have the shoulder above it either but I guess as it’s...
Back together. Wasn’t too bad. I was dreading trying to get the shift detent back in but because it’s a plunger rather than just a ball it only...
[ATTACH] You might not want one when you see the price!...
I finally plucked up the courage to have a go at the shift seals on the side of the box. The answer to the question “can you get the shift forks...
Interesting comparison that “top” prize is a TV and class awards are gold watches. Wonder how much the home theatre was in 1963
You’re going to have to remove the current pumps which ever option you choose so I’d do that first and then you can see whether it’s just seals or...
British Smiths and Jaeger gauges have 5/8” holes. So loads of Jags, Austin, Morris, MG, Leyland cars. Might be easier to find those in Aus. Think...
Is that Angloueme? Hopefully going this year
I like the Edsel. :oops:
