Do you have a YouTube video showing exactly how you do this? I think one could help out a lot of people. My 48 gets more rain inside it from the...
If the car wasn't beautiful enough the 512 got my vote. (And made my allergies act up)
I'm confused as to the instructions. After breaking down last week (bad coil, no spark) the wife ordered me the pertronix kit and coil as it was...
I haven't taken my rear seat out but I did find this while looking under my front seat... [ATTACH]
Was finally able to run my engine the other night. while it ran rough, it ran! I took the car around the block a few times and then a short trip...
Hahaha oh so true. Luckily for me, I have another crank sitting on the trailer. It's going to sit on the shelf (just in case)
I was dropping the engine in with the hood on. Vertical space was VERY limited. With the pan off and sump line out, I saved about 8/9 inches. When...

Fabber McGee.....I was only able to move them towards the front of the car and towards the rear. I don't know if its considered side to side or...

Thank you for all the replies so far ... Here is an update. I got under the car today and took off the oil pan... Here is the movement [MEDIA]
Lol I've already done that... Didn't go away
I was thinking it had to do with the clutch being depressed and shifting into reverse but now I'm thinking it just lowered the rpm's enough that I...
I'm back.... I took off the belt and spun the fan, no noise or resistance from that. I then checked the generator and that was fine as well as the...
