yup got it.
So the bracket I have currently for the drivers side of the motor will not work if I reverse it to the pass side?
ahh if I had a cutting torch.... too bad none of you guys are local. :mad:
I tried that first and in doing so I screwed up the threads on the original hole. The bolt was broken just under I would say a 1/4" inside the hole.
thanks, I will give the new bracket a try before I pay someone to tap out the existing location... it will be cheaper I bet.
So awhile back I was asking how to tap out a bolt for my alternator that snapped off in the block. Well I f*cked that up and now it needs to drill...
Well I didn't snap off the extractor, but I managed to strip out the threads with the drill bit! So now what, do I tap it and go to the next...
Ok got the right angle drill and have drilled a small hole in the center of the bolt. How far in do I need to go? The extractor just spins at the...
What does the candle wax do? The bolt is broken 3/16th of an inch inside the block, and to make matters more of a bitch, there is not a lot of...
good deal on the timing thing, just was not sure if I needed to mark the belt or something, paranoid I guess. The bolt is snapped under the...
Last night the old fairlane decided again she was just not going to start. But after a few of us standing over her and coaxing her to start she...
metal shavings were minimal when I cleaned it out.
I was at a buddies house and he asked me to take a ride with him in his 1950 Ford and listen for a whining sound that he couldn't place. I thought...
Yeah I am just on the fence about what color. The car was originally black, so I might put it back to a gloss black so it is like she came from...
Thanks! That is encouraging I hope that works!
good question... I am draining mine out of my 63 fairlane this weekend .. I bought 5 quarts, will fill the 4 then check as I add the 5th to see...
I have been working on mine here and there as I can, installed brand new true duals with cherry bomb's and tips (need flamethrower kit now.. LOL)...
ok that is a project I have for this weekend. The gasket around the pan is leaking only when the car is running when I change the gasket I will...
Someone here once referred to the automatic transmission needing to warm up before it would shift gears as "morning sickness". Now besides the...
I ordered a full set of the spider caps from hub cap mikes. I found a set of chrome beauty rings here locally so as soon as they come in she...
ok, spider cap for a "wheel" got it. Thanks guys. I will check the Alliance vendors and see if I can hunt them down.
I am looking at finding a set of these chrome caps for a Ford. Does anyone know what they are called and does anyone know of a vendor who might...
Thanks to everyone who chimed in and offered much needed advice and a well needed laugh in helping me solve this issue. A special thanks goes to...
Ok the car does not have an electric choke... it uses a heat riser tube to close the choke... so your guess on the mystery wire might be correct....
nope nothing.... not even try to turn over... turn key and nothing.
yes there are two wires. One runs straight to the starter solenoid, the other is the loop around wire to the plug on the bottom of the alternator,...
Ok I can't get back to where I started from. I have checked the ignition cyl and all tests fine all positions have power as they should. I changed...
Yeah thanks... I just hope it happens sooner than later. Being down to one car between us sucks!!!
I found a wiring diagram online I am trying to decode it as we speak. But yeah, I agree I need to find a book to figure all this stuff out.
Ok I took the wire off the coil terminal as you suggested. Part of why I am here is to learn from those more experienced than I am. :D
