I've got another question: where does one find a clutch kit for this car? O'Reilly and rock auto both list an 11" 23 spline clutch, but I...
think I found the issue: [ATTACH]
there seems to be a lot of wear on the gears, and they don't align well. [ATTACH]
okay, well I have a sideloader OD, so sounds like I do not have the right transmission. [ATTACH]
thanks! you guys come in clutch again! (pun intended, I'll see myself out )
these look like they'll work. it appears um missing the u shaped piece of metal, the spring, and the bolt that attaches the rod to the z bar....
here's what I've got...[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
looks like a K, so that's Kansas city, right? I'm in Nebraska, and I'm pretty sure it was sold new here so that'd make sense.
that's interesting, I'll probably switch that so they stay on, thanks for the info!
the only things that don't work are the dash lights, one low beam headlight, and the front park lights go off when the headlights come on. the...
just picked up this 56 with 62k original miles. this is the most basic, no option car I've ever seen, and I kind of like that about it. no...
does anyone have a good diagram of the clutch stuff, specifically the adjustment rod? I'm not familiar with these cars, and I'm trying to put...
3 year update, car lives outside 100% of the time, and they're still working fine.
nvm, figured it out.
I'm piecing together a car someone took apart 30 years ago. the trans and starter were out of it. I've got the engine loose, now I need to put...
anyone make these aftermarket? (lower mount, bolts to the leaf pack) I dont know when I'll have a chance to get to the nearest "old car" junkyard
I grew up wrenching on 70s fords, and I've restored several, but there was almost always something on the shelf. this 54 has been ...different, lol
nobody had one on the shelf, so I hit it with some heat and some pb blaster and it broke free. on a related note: I started with a seized...
awesome. I kind of expected that, but thank you.
can anyone tell me if there was a difference between the brakes between a 210 and a belair? I need an adjuster, and while rock auto has a listing...
hey all, I bought the speedway motors bracket to move my booster up onto the firewall in place of the "inspection cover", and if any of you have...
that makes sense.
it does look like the original paint was white. solder isnt a bad idea, but I think I'll just see how it goes for now, since I'll be pulling them...
thanks! I would have prepped and painted them up all pretty, but it was barely above freezing today and I get yelled at when I spray indoors :D
I hadn't had any luck sourcing the turn signal buckets for my 54 210, save for some sketchy ebay chinese repops for $50 each so I decided to see...
thanks guys, I appreciate the advice.
is the 6v fan speed switch capable of handling 12 volts?
hi guys, finished my 12 volt conversion, and installed a reducer before the speed controls, but something doesnt seem quite right. the coils in...
I did know that. do you know if there were different park light housings for the front on non-turn signal optioned cars? I've got to replace at...
that's an excellent suggestion, I'll check it out!
