Whatever you decide on the distributor make sure you have it on-hand before you attempt to remove the old one. I can guarantee that the old one...
If your wiring is in good shape just convert to 12volt. Change all bulbs, flasher, starter solenoid, coil and generator to 12volt. Change ground...
A very confused 55 Mercury.
That 58 Bonneville in the background looks pretty sweet. I wonder if it's a fuelie?
Thanks Fordors.
My brother in-law who grew up in Chicago land had a buddy who bought new 64 Dodge 330 from Mr. Norm. It was billed as a "street ram". It was a 4...
Duh, never mind, I see the seal is on.
Rev, you may want to install the cowl seal before finalizing the hood fitment. Looking great!
Joe, that manual will guide you well. Wear hand and arm protection when you root around in those doors...lots of sharp stuff in there. I agree...
I feel your pain, Mater. I finally received a steering column on Christmas eve that I bought on Ebay. It took over 2 weeks to arrive in SC and was...
These guys might have some of what you need. http://www.tee-bird.com/catalog_product.cfm?cat_id=29
I think that is a hysterical example of 50's wretched excess. He must have knocked off at least a dozen Pep Boys stores to score all that bling!
Rui, the Lee lens is on the right, the left is a stock 55 Chevy. Lee lenses were generally a smoothed out version of the stock ones and didn't...
I think yes and no. The driver's side should be the same. The other side maybe not due to the different battery sizes. 1956 had that weird size.
58 to 60 full size y-block cars may have had a Cruiso, however they will have a mechanical pressure rod and no vacuum modulator. Not a deal...
Those rollbars with no diagonal bracing always struck me as useless.
Look for a 61 or 62 Green Dot Cruisomatic that was behind a 292. It will be a bolt-in. It will have a vacuum modulator and maybe an aluminum bell...
The more I look, the more I see. It's a phantom. The rear quarter trim is 56 Mainline. The nose is 55 with Fairlane headlamp trim. If it was a 55...
Pretty sure that has been Photo-shopped. No Courier was harmed...yet.
You might try the old coffee pot cleaning trick. Use a squirt of dish liquid soap and a handful of shaved ice through the opening. Shake and swirl...

Okie, the second line is the width dimension. 60" center to center of the lamps (2 × 30"). As for tire height, the manual also gives the tire's...
Dennis Carpenter right down the road from you in Concord is as good as anyone, Tony.
Call me crazy, but I would put more faith in what Borgeson has to say about your application.
I have to diagree; halogen lamps do not necessarily consume more power than original incandescent sealed beams. Tungsten-halogen lamps produce a...
Way back in the 55 shop manual there is a dimension given for the distance from the floor to the center of the headlamp. I'm working from memory...
12 point, reduced head SBC intake bolts will work real well.
Natalie Wood?
Wow, M code Vicky. Pretty cool.
