Find one of the air cleaners that cleans the air by creating ozone, Alpine used to be one brand. Put it inside the car and turn it up to high and...
Being on the edge of the casting like that, it would not be that hard to repair. I think it it were mine and I decided to take a crack at it, I...
By clicking on your name and recent posts, I found three posted recently, not exactly build threads, but had old cad pictures. If these are what...
Put the ign. on a different circuit, or put a diode in the wire that fields the alternator to stop it from backfeeding the ignition.
I ran the same combo for several yrs. and never tied anything off. Never had a problem. I don't guess it would hurt anything, but don't think it...
Not unless the run side of your ignition switch that goes to the coil is somehow wired common with the same part of the power supply. Most modern...
I like the car, but what I really want to know is where Bryan got the picture of my mother? I know it is not her, but could have been her twin in...
You haven't convinced me yet that it is flooding. With no choke it could very well be needing fuel, and when you open the carb, as you put it, you...
Setting in the seat with the trans in neutral, it is left and back to you or down.
If it is a volt gauge there may not be anything wrong, describing it as returning straight up, make me think it might be an amp gauge, if so it...
Audacity has nothing to do with it, I know nothing about your ability or other qualities. I responded to your words in the first post, and it is...
Well if we are going to count customers cars, I probably had over a hundred failures over the yrs., never kept count, and yes I occasionally...
Can't tell from your picture whether the solenoid is bolted to the frame or not, with a modern solenoid that needs voltage to energize it needs to be.
I don't think I would want you doing the maintenance on my vehicles, that is a lot of failures, you ought to keep the brake systems up in shape. I...
You have got some good advice already, I would add that if the valves were sealing good and you are not going whole hog with a valve job, then...
First thing I would do is put a meter on it, and see if polarity matches markings, or it was possible that it was ran plumb dead and charged back...
If the new shocks are just replacements and not overload shocks with springs on them, they should not change the ride height.
Joshua, that is a neat little rig, and probably works great at the track, however if you are using that exact method to do your initial assembly...
The extra terminal on the front of ford type starter relay is a 12 volt feed that goes directly to the positive side of ignition coil if you are...
Had a 69 T-Bird with the 429 back in the early 70's, if I remember right it was rated 360 hp, with the 4 barrel carb. If it will fit, you will...
Get a test light or meter, turn the key on and check to see if you have juice to the distributor, the big pink wire. If you do have voltage, pop...
You could run a wire from your existing starter for that purpose, just wire a diode inline between starter and coil that will only let voltage...
Battery problem?
Not familiar with your lift, but will give you a bump. Are you trying to remove cylinder from frame, or rod from the cylinder?
If I am understanding you right, then yes, it is normal for it to roll in any gear position other than park, setting in your driveway.
It may have been mentioned, but go over the wires and plugs that plug on to the pickup coil and module. Had one coming of one end of a module that...
Have you always had this problem with the present starter, or has it just started? Being a reman, I would take a look at it and see if is a shunt...
Little hard to tell in the video, but if it seems to be coming back through the carb, then I am going with the consensus, cam going flat. Intake...
Henry, are you saying that someone makes a 6 volt lawn tractor battery, or am I misunderstanding?
You just described my feelings to a Tee, just had not been able to put it into words. I am one who liked the old format better for that reason, I...
