As long as we're talking 94's, what am I missing on the replacing of the pump rod felt? I watched a rebuild video, and he just put it on the rod...
I'll second what Jim said. Those compressors need to have a pretty big power wire run to them, unless you are using a relay (as you should)....
@i.rant There is some serious badassery going on in this pic! Makes me wanna dig mine out of storage & get started on it. Thanks for posting.[IMG]

Hell, I'm retired & don't get as much done as you do. Nice work!
Some of those metal pieces that were in the back were "iffy" at best. I just painted them black & screwed 'em back in. It was one of those "I'll...
Looks great! How about some specs: how much cut, etc.
The Lee Pratt '58 has always been one of my favorites. I tend to lean toward radical customs, but the simplicity of this car & the color combo /...
Funny. My first thought was If it was mine, I'd be looking for a roof to put it back the way it was. Understandable that everyone here is...
Wow. Cool stuff. You can't take it with you. Better to pass it on to someone who appreciates now, rather than letting somebody put it in a...
Mine is the best deal I've ever gotten in my life. '62 Fender Esquire that was headed for a burn pile! saved by a buddy & sold to me for $50....
Well, that sucks. Nice looking car. get that fixed.
Just mocked up - for now![ATTACH]
Speedway sells these & they would work for your application with a frame mounted box, but I'd run cowl steering on that to keep the "look" you are...
That's odd. Didn't know the Evans manifolds didn't have the provision for the Generator on the front. I use a cut down Gen on the front of my...
Yup. Folds down for deck lid clearance. I've got a '47 Fleetline too.
That's good info - Thanks.
I have an old Lenco panel spotter, but you can use a mig I suppose. Weld 7/16 washers on end in the low spots, & pull out w/ a slide hammer w/ a...
I've got a '47 Fleetline Aero. Family heirloom & NFS. Hoping to build it someday. But, if you wanna import one, I got a friend who's selling...
X2 on the Weldwood adhesive. It's worked better for me in every application than the 3M 77.
Well, you guys are making me wanna pull the front of my engine apart and change the timing chain & gears. It's only 62k (ish) but they are 50...
One more issue when using the Big Cad motor is the oil filter hanging out the front. I used a relocator. I suppose if it works, you may be able...
I've got a 500 in my '47 Buick. It's a much bigger car than the Merc, and it's TIGHT side-to-side. Plenty of room fore/aft, but it was a...
It's to not let you use the power window when the gate is open, so you don't raise the window & then try to close the gate. Disastrous results....
@stickylifter As long as you have the rear glass out, replace the safety switch for the glass, as I bypassed it.
Thanks, Chris.
I put a wanted ad up, but if anybody's got an alternator mount for a 401-425, I could use it. Just need the aluminum piece that the bottom of the...
Sorry for your loss.
I couldn't resist throwing the Offy intake & some grungy old 94s on top of my fresh '63 401 for a mock up pic.[ATTACH]
Very Cool. That Stude coupe makes my pants tight.
