I too have somehow missed this thread till now. The car cam be described as nothing less than STUNNING !! You and your father have given this car...
I'm guessing whoever wrote that article for the magazine back in the 70's didn't have a subject matter to turn into the editors. In order to draw...
Oil galley plugs installed or possibly leaking?
This may help answer your question. When I was in high school I drove a 48 chevy truck with the 6 lug wheel pattern. Wanting to change to chevy 5...
I see no reason why this would not work. One push button per door under each rocker. No fobs involved. I could be wrong. Have been before so I've...
You are correct. There is a good many old vehicles running an inline filter right after the tank. Merly saying that it is possible for them to...
Since a new fuel tank is to be installed and your have cleared the line from the tank to the fuel pump, I would refrain from putting a filter...
Sorry I dropped the ball on your question but had some work to finish. Anyways the others have explained the accelerator pump function quite well...
I would also check to see that the accelerator pump is functioning properly. [squirting fuel]

Good tip on the fence wire couplers !
I just got off the phone with my upholstery lady and I guess I don't have to worry about it. She'll take care of it. I was going to weld part of...
I still find it odd that there ain't anybody making spring kits to rebuild the entire seat frame. I did find some NOS springs on ebay but not all...
This is probably like looking at worms. The little aluminum chingadera is what I'll join two broken peices together. Hopefully I can figure out...
I have been doing some research and found that the use of "zig zag" springs is used widely in all sorts of upholstery work. This is primarily the...
I have become tired of sitting on my old broke down bench seat. Lined up a place to get the upholstery done but wanted to replace some broken...
The Rail Haven in Springfield Mo. is a nice place to stay. Still has some of the "old days" feel to it but has modern updates and creature comforts.
Left the ratchet and socket on the end of the crank after running the valves on an old 327. Yup, right into my new aluminum radiator. My best one...

Hell, I almost like the stickers as much as the grill !
Looks good!!
Got a chance to check in on your progress and it seems you have indeed progressed. Good deal !! Hope your labors continue bring resolution. Regards.
This looks like a fun project. I'll stay tuned in to this.
Whew!! I thought the cheese done fell off my cracker. I could'nt figure out what the fix was either. I'll keep watching.
I too have never been on the inside of a nail head but it's good to see the folks that have, step up to the plate with real world specs and...
Your right. I should have seen that when I noticed the retainer extreamly close to the rocker. Hell, some days I can't keep my socks up.:D
Now that i blowed the picture up I see what D.N.D. is speaking of about the retainer not being seated. Not good for whatever reason. Good catch.
A valid point, but I think it was mentioned that the tip broke on one occasion. I could be wrong [have been many times] but I'm going with...
Valvetrain disassembly is in order. There are gonna be witness marks for sure that will telltale interference. I would not think it would be to...
In the first picture, the retainers look really close, if not touching, the rockers. May be just the picture. Any other variation in the...
