I think that mine is sorta self explanatory; I was removing the drip rails. Notice the clever non use of the safety equipment. It was a pain...
I'm thinking that you could carry a regular screw type clamp for get you home emergency use. It looks like anthony myrick types faster than I do.
I got gauges in my car.....they don't work but hey, I got gauges!
I have one that looks a lot like that and I filled it with JB weld. So far, so good. Try it, what do you have to loose?
It's just being optimistic.
I had a similar problem with a Pontiac and made an adapter like the one that Mr48chev showed. It worked well and I used it for years.
I discovered that the spark plugs that I am using cross reference to a 2013 Rolls Royce. I can't wait to spring that on the parts counter person.
I went to the parts store the other day looking for valve spring shims. They didn't have them of course but at least they knew what I was looking...

I'm having trouble making things that are functional and now folks want it to be aesthetically pleasing as well? Argh!

I have a four post movable lift. I can't believe how I got along without it. I have gotten pretty lazy just picking the car up to retrieve that...
I buy my batteries at the local pick your part. Fifty bucks out the door, includes core charge, tax and the fee they charge for the privilege of...
It ain't a real project until you bleed on it.
My '69 has power steering but the alternator bracket on your engine looks similar. My alternator mounts to the top bolt on the bracket and yes,...
I'm doing 2X4 this time 'cuz my last one was 3X2 and I've never had dual quads. Time will tell.
I can't believe that it has been five years since doing that project. I guess that it is time to make something else. I have made a small...

I recently installed a plain one that I got from Butler performance. It doesn't have any fins and the boss for the PCV isn't drilled out, fine...
I learned that lesson when I had a garage fire. I was told that they would cover parts under my home owners but not complete cars. When I asked...
