Hopefully, more "educated" owners will heed your advice. ...   10-24-2024 05:05 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 05:26 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 02:41 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 02:27 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 10:04 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 02:28 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. ...   08-17-2024 12:58 am

Laughed at this guy's listing the car as "EXCELLENT". Maybe he means that for mice infestation ...   08-14-2024 06:09 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 03:16 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 08:32 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 05:59 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 04:04 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 04:04 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 03:59 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 10:01 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 09:53 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 02:00 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 08:07 pm

noomg: the cigarette lighter was fused by the #3/bottom fuse in the fuse box(purple wires), and yes, was a constant source of "blowing" due ...   05-23-2024 07:05 pm

Bob" if the lights on the turn signals are "lighted" there is no fuse problem. Turning on your headlights will draw about 10 amps. ...   05-23-2024 07:00 pm

Vance: somewhere on this site I've written about fixing the "bend" in the bonnet. I first saw this repair on Clay Gleason's car(he named ...   04-30-2024 10:26 pm

Nick: sorry to say Pete passed some years ago a little after his wife. His son inherited the car but unfortunately was in an accident ...   04-27-2024 12:45 am

Again, I'm not sure how just oil would stop the return oil behind the seal housing would not seep through the threads on the ...   04-17-2024 08:57 pm

Maybe call ARP directly and ask them? Having done 100s of clutch and flywheel resurfacing(in order to change the rear main seal at the same time), ...   04-17-2024 04:49 pm

Vance: the Stromberg carbs are very easy to adjust, especially if one has a CO meter(my Heathkit from 1983). Also, I happened to get ...   04-10-2024 06:25 pm

Hope these pix go through? The 2 i took of the later style show the circumference just outside the bolt holes is machined ...   04-09-2024 03:41 am

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 10:34 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 06:03 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 01:34 pm

Looks like a very nice one with many upgrades! ...   03-19-2024 08:59 pm

Glad to hear you're making progress on your car--hopefully you'll have it ready for spring? I made a puller for the caliper pistons(looked all over ...   02-03-2024 03:01 am

Corey: the original engine-to-ground strap went from the the front bottom oil pan bolt(passenger side) to a lower body bolt where the original air ...   12-13-2023 05:28 pm

Corey: As Art stated, the later engines had the breather tube go from the rear crankcase breather(like yours) to the airbox. The earlier '73 ...   12-13-2023 05:17 pm

So, according to the torque chart for grade 5, fine pitch(24 threads/inch) for a 5/16" diameter bolt, that would be 22lbs-ft ...   11-21-2023 09:09 pm

Sent a "private message" chart so you could print it: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HOHszn-zS.jpg The one I have used for years came from the back of a Snap-On catalog ...   11-21-2023 12:48 pm

Assuming the later, larger flanges that use the 3/8" X 24 threads/inch, standard torque would be 44 ft-lbs for a grade 5 bolt. 40 would probably ...   11-21-2023 02:13 am

Very nice rebuild! Hope all is well and want to thank you for saving another one! One thing I noticed that could easily be changed is ...   11-10-2023 01:22 pm

Rob: this could be VERY dangerous as the shaft is collapsible, with an inner and outer casing. There are/were 2 nylon "breakaway" pins inside ...   11-03-2023 10:04 pm
