Our Australian and European friends will be envious of what we can build and drive here, no engineer's certification needed!
I see my old link doesn't work anymore, so no more new Mercury cells from there.
Maybe change it to a banjo style steering wheel, the one you have is too modern for that door.
You can still get model railway magazines at the store? Cool!
Maybe the 8 is the date code, the shape or font of it determines decade: [IMG]
In my province we have an insurance and licensing monopoly (ICBC), with numerous private insurance storefronts selling that exact same product....
More on this topic on this post from 2023: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/flathead-spark-plugs.1258973/ By the way, the "blue ring"...
During dubya dubya II they also skipped the plating on lots of tools. Can you find a date code on the tools?
Got the rest of this: [ATTACH] God, I hope my neighbours weren't paying attention! It's not so bad as it looks, the drums are only partially full.
Ah, I see now.
Aren't those kind of long reach for a flathead? [IMG] I bought a set of expensive plugs for a "modern" car on ebay at a fraction of the very...
When we were more into early Fairlanes and Falcons a friend asked if I wanted a differential that was dumped on the front yard of a house, waiting...
All that gasoline from my earlier post.... I don't really know the story, I didn't pry. But some of it is already being put to good use in the fleet!
Free today, the guy had to move and it's all fresh: [ATTACH]
Since the subject of overdrives has come up, there's something I always thought odd about the concept. Instead of a three speed plus overdrive,...
In my province we have mandatory insurance with a monopoly provincial insurer, and the cost of that insurance is about half to one third of...
What's with the PVC pipes coming out of the firewall and cowl? [IMG]
Tiny meaning what could seep through a paper gasket properly compressed but with no sealer. Like less than a drop a minute, for instance. I guess...

The cat for sure welded that, and he's ashamed to show his face.
That's pretty interesting, Carbking. It's a new tip to me, with much credence since it's coming from someone with tremendous carburetor experience.
But it wouldn't matter if the power valve gasket leaked just a tiny bit, would it?
Oh come on, can your cat weld better? [IMG]
A great use of modern animation techniques. As a kid I read a lot about the building of the great bridges, tunnels and that kind of thing. This...
Just wondering what these wheels are from, from post #16: [ATTACH]
I repair holes in fuel tanks with solder - using a propane torch. Of course the tank needs to be emptied, then I put the exhaust of my old vacuum...
Might be a great opportunity to switch to drum brakes.
Sold for $295 Canadian. Description from seller: "Sculpture de machine à coudre en bolide de course" A crazy Frenchman (Quebec) project!
That's pretty nice... the narrow bolt pattern trans is pretty scarce, only made for '63 and '64 model years IIRC, and the left exhaust manifold is...
