If I were inclined to install the hood welting I bought for both rigs about three months ago, and if I were to use the split rivets, what's the...
Going through the 11 inch brake conversion writeups from the tech section, I missed seeing any note regarding the interference between big drums...
I've taken my time putting my new brake pedal back in the 70. But, now that's done and I hooked up the PO's homemade chain clutch linkage. Testing...
Will 15x7 slots fit over 11 inch non-finned drums?
Trying to sort out original - PO - shop changes on my 70 V-6 brakes. PO had a shop put in a new MC. He balked at any more work when he saw the...
All I wanted to do was tighten up the brake pedal wobble in my new 70/V-6. Got all "new" stuff: lower pedal, pivot tube, and bracket. Opened floor...
I seem to recall seeing a post about this before, so I haven't got much room to complain, I suppose. Before working on the brakes, I decided to...
On my 61, originally there were "flange panel nuts" (?). I dunno what else to calll them. 1/4-20 nut inside a slip-on cage that went over the edge...
Zoomed through a search, and where there were pix , of course, now they're gone. On my 61, I made a pretty stout hold-down to replace the old...
Pulled my left side manifold and found my ticking noise. Also found two more questions while I was at it. Shouldn't the friggin' bolts be a...

70 V-6 won't start now. Changed lifters and push rods to get rid of tick, put it all back, and now, no go...... Discovered I had pinched hot lead...

I'm just curious about my setup. The manifold base would match the gasket that is burnt up in the middle. Looking at the carb base itself I see...
I've had a torque wrench for thirty years or so. Nifty Snap-On 30-200 ft-lb Click-Style. Since I never went past an oil change and so on, I never...
Re: Thread for wheel stud As a side note, when did they stop using left hand threads on the left side wheels?
This V-6 intake is ugly. At least the EGR ports are. What does that mean? These were plugged near off. Less than pencil diameter. Motor was...
What's this? Wasn't one of the left side....
Got a loud tick in my new project. I've plowed right in and assumed it is a lifter gone bad. Didn't do any of the checks I should have done before...
Need to find some better bumpers for the seat legs on my 60/40's. Tried a rubber crutch tip. Uh, don't do this. Had to seriously modify the thing,...
