So my van has decided to start acting up on me. 1966 with a 240 & manual tranny. At the top end of 2nd and 3rd the van will start to shutter and...
Looks good! The 240 air cleaner is a little different. here is a link to another board with the conversion....
Anybody else have any ideas with this air cleaner conversion?
Yes, it is for the 240. I forgot to mention that. So, once those spot welds are drilled and the old guts removed, how do you keep the top and...
so, I pulled my oil bath air cleaner today to clean it up a bit and check the oil and I found that the "element" stuff is falling apart. What are...
Any more pics of that van with all the lettering on the side?
How did you mount your shoulder belt?
These racks are really kind of beefy. They are definitely not flimsy. I tried them on my 66 Econo Van and they are way to narrow to fit. With...
I bought these a few years ago at an estate sale and was never really able to find anything out about them. They were long forgotten about until...

Hi Gang, I'm working on an estate sale and have been finding some cool stuff in the garage. I dug this out of a box and don't have a clue what...
Bingo Keith, right on mark
I have some of that foil-backed wool stuff and was going to use it in my dog house but I am not sure how to attach it. Any suggestions?
Must have been the fluoride!
If anybody is interested, here is a link to a good article explaining why these old vans need LT tires. It is written mainly about VW's but I...
15"'s maybe the answer but I hate getting beat. I've been doing alot of looking around online about these tires and it seems that I am in the...
I was wondering about 205 tires but I was afraid that they would rub when turning. The tires that came on the van rub on the sway bar up front....
Well the time has come for me to put tires on the old van and I am having trouble finding anything. The tire shops are not very helpful so far. I...
Hey Bigdaddy....thanks for posting this and thanks to all of you that have come down and supported the sale. I am the guy running the sale and...

I need a turn signal switch. Anybody have a spare? I keep looking at the junk yards but they are always gone. Someone keeps beating me out of 'em.
I took this photo a couple of years ago after the fires burned in the Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear areas. This was my real first understanding of...
Here is a quick pic of mine. It's a 66 SUPERVAN and size does matter. I need the extra space to haul my crap to the swap meet! [img][img]
This is called the Auto-Joker and it reads, "Fasten each wire to spark plugs; when victim steps on starter it will shoot, whistle,scream, smoke,...
O.K. Thanks for the help. I thought that I would update this with a little more info and see if it helps. I was hoping to get a little more...
