I have always retrofitted them with the earlier style that takes 2 bearings. I have found that they are cheaper and easier to "repair" as ...   02-18-2025 01:22 am

Just read this--Sorry to hear about your problem. After 45+ years of working on these cars, I too have my first blown" head gasket, but ...   02-15-2025 03:15 pm

Thanks for the kind words, Vance; and merry one to you and your family ...   12-15-2024 02:18 am

I'm sorry, but I do not have your number. The phone is a landline which does NOT have caller ID. Please click on my ...   11-15-2024 09:21 pm

Enjoyed talking with earlier today' Please click on my profile for my email and location addresses as well as the SKYPE name I use ...   11-15-2024 06:51 pm

If the outer casing is rubber, a slight coating of grease or silicone will make insertion easier ...   11-08-2024 03:45 pm

The later cars had that inner "shield" which I always get rid of and use a "normal seal instead, as you have done. SOP is ...   11-08-2024 12:46 pm

Hopefully, more "educated" owners will heed your advice. ...   10-24-2024 04:05 pm

please do not buy these "cheap" bearings that are "on sa;e" at Rockauto. I have had to throw away brand new ones that were grinding ...   10-23-2024 04:26 pm

thanks for posting: That's good news, even if they are "pricey". Like you said, if you need them you'll have to pay whatever. ...   10-10-2024 01:41 am

Those "unobtanium" side carrier bearings were NLA over 40 years ago. I had contacted SKF, who had said they were from the UK and NLA. ...   10-03-2024 01:27 pm

UPDATE for retainers: apparently, the shipping bill is NOT the actual place I ordered from. The proper web site is: AutoFastenersandClips.com. I just tried ordering a bunch ...   09-25-2024 09:04 pm

Just "tried" some "new" ones that are made for a BMW, and the fit is excellent both on the door and on the panel. They ...   09-21-2024 01:28 pm

I just wrote a reply to Corey last week about headers: I probably have about 7 sets I welded and brazed a few months ago. ...   08-16-2024 11:58 pm

Laughed at this guy's listing the car as "EXCELLENT". Maybe he means that for mice infestation ...   08-14-2024 05:09 pm

Corey: the price for a "Y" pipe is $30, but I can not determine the shipping to Canada without a complete address. UPS starts ...   08-12-2024 02:16 pm

That lower "Y" pipe was not supposed to be welded-- looks like a poor weld at best I would cut down the center of that ...   08-11-2024 07:32 pm

You said in your 1st post these were 4-into-1, but apparently they are not; the "Y" pipe must be removed and then the 1-4 and ...   08-11-2024 04:59 pm

Yes, those 4 into one headers are a pain; even the original were one piece, but had a "Y" pipe at the end, so we ...   08-11-2024 03:04 pm

Vance, noomg: this has been written up many times years ago, so nothing new. The circular 12 pin logic connection should be #11 and #12. ...   06-28-2024 03:04 pm

Alan: just saw this thread. Yes, it's a retard capsule, not an advance as you noted. Since they were for pollution: as Tim pointed out, ...   06-28-2024 02:59 pm

Looks almost exactly like the one I bought from the late Joe Mazurk in 2013, although not in nearly as good a condition. Same ...   05-29-2024 09:01 pm

To JH12947: the adjustment is fairly easy although the screw may be somewhat "STIFF". 1) remove the long 1/4" bolt that holds the brake pressure ...   05-29-2024 08:53 pm

Dakota: noticed your Stromberg tops are rotated 90 degrees CCW. The outer "spine" on the top should face the airbox. Also, what is going on with ...   05-28-2024 01:00 am

The cigarette lighter should have a constant 12V on the purple wire, assuming someone didn't redo the wiring. The white with red stripe is for ...   05-23-2024 07:07 pm

I can't be sure from the 2 dimensional picture, but that looks like the earlier('72 & '73) flywheel. If that surface is "sticking out" ...   04-08-2024 09:34 pm

At least put a dial gauge on the crank to see what the runout is. Also, put on the flywheel and push it forward ...   04-07-2024 05:03 pm

Sounds like your thrust(fore-aft movement of the crank)is too large. I do not know if you rebuilt the engine, but the 2 half-moon washers should ...   04-07-2024 12:34 pm
