Thanks for the heads-up. I shared it with the guys on my Metropolitan forum. Mike
Hope the weather works out for you. It's snowing in Tucson right now!:eek: Mike
My first thought was autocross racing. They're typically held in a large parking lot with lots of cones to mark the course. I'd say its the late...
I've seen one with an auto. I believe it was a Borg Warner T35. Same transmission used in early Datsun 510s and Austin Marinas ('73ish). I...
If its got a 1500, the MGA/B dual SU manifold will work fine. Check for steering clearance first, though. If you're so inclined, a tube header...
I was 12 yrs old and visiting the World's Fair with my grandparents. The photo, however, doesn't depict Seattle. I believe the city is Portland,...
My only advice is to make sure that S-10 5 speed is, in fact, a T-5. GM also used the NV1500 5 speed in the S-10. It's designed by Getrag and...
Stuart13, Any chance it could just be batteries? I always look at the simple fixes first, and a change of batteries usually works in a...
I'm shocked! R.I.P. John. You'll be missed. Mike:(
John, Welcome back. Been thinking about you the last couple days. I know you want to get back at it in the garage, it'll still be there when...
Look for a local speedo shop on Google. I went to several swap meets without much luck, then stumbled upon a speedo repair shop in town. Found a...
John, Where were you when I welded up my gates last year? Seriously, good luck on Tuesday. My thoughts are with you.;) Mike
You might want to make sure it's a T-5 you've got in your hands. GM also used a Getrag-designed 5-speed transmission behind the 4 cylinder S10...
Bodi, No offense taken. I'm originally from Tacoma, having moved to Tucson in Y2K. I appreciate new venues to shop for parts down here, as...
My first trip was in 1961 or '62. I went with my dad to Deer Park near Spokane, WA. Got to see (and HEAR) the Arfons Brothers "Green Moster"....
Charlie, You've got a lot of us with our thinking caps on. Given that the hot spot in the heads contacts the cast aluminum of the FI flanges...
John, I stopped by Wild West a couple weeks ago to look at your project. Looks like it's coming along just fine. It looks alot better with the...
Welcome from a fellow Tucsonan. Post some pics when you get a chance. Mike
jegapeterson, Welcome back. Where in AZ are you located? Mike
Doug, Welcome from another AZ desert dweller. Mike
Chopperman, It's impossible to repair your cooler. You should probably just sell me the car for scrap so you don't go further into debt.:D I...
Howdy from another Tucsonan. Mike
Probesport, You have just made a big light go on in my head. I've been pondering this very project for a while now. Thanks for the write-up...
Schpud, What you have circled is a fuel pump. AMC used to install a combo fuel/vacuum pump on cars fitted with vacuum wipers. It could be that...
The Frisco Freeze is a Tacoma landmark. Best burgers (nice greasy ones) in town. They tried to franchise in the 80's or 90's, but some legal...
Bodi, Which side of Washington did you call home? After I moved down here I thought we were spoiled in the Puget Sound area with good swap...
What he said!:eek:
Welcome from Tucson. That's a pretty good looking starting point for a hot rod truck. Keep us posted on your progress. Mike
Mark, Welcome to the HAMB from Tucson. We'd all like to see pictures of your project when you get a chance to post some. Mike
I'm guessing MGA MkII. The original lines are great, and the custom work only makes them better IMO. Mike
