Went back and read the newest post that must have appeared while I was slowly typing - now I don’t even have to make anything! You guys are...
The plot thickens. Got the carb off, found the mechanism was zip tied so that the choke could never move. Now, except for the missing divorce...
The spot the coil mounts on in the pictures above is flat. Mine is angled and has a plate on it. I cannot get the choke plate to move, carb is...
As to whether it’d Edelbrock or not - there is a tag on the forward edge, which I can’t get a picture of, which has the Edelbrock name. It’s held...
Choke doesn’t move, opening the throttle doesn’t make any difference. I understand that you need to open it to get it to set to the position it...
Says Edelbrock on the front, so must be the clone. I assume the choke plates on the front (smaller) should be closed when cold. I guess I just...
Here’s a top view.
Here are some pictures. Not an electric choke, not a manual choke. I’m more of a single barrel old Mopar guy, but I think the choke on the front...
I've searched a bunch on how to adjust my choke on my Edelbrock 4 bbl, non-electric, and am not having much luck. If someone is familiar with them...
Thank you David. You're much better with words than I am. As to bonded titles, I've done a couple in Texas. They are done often there. I know how...
If you get a junking certificate on a 1934 ford 2 dr, vin 1234, you can't register that car, vin 1234, again. You can take that body, and build...
No, not at all true. You're issued a new vin for a vehicle you built. The cab, body, frame or whatever is just a compnent of that vehicle. You...
Salvage title, at least in Mo, is an entirely different animal. That can be turned back into a licensed, drivable vehicle. It would have to be...
Example #1. I have an old semi truck. I want to put the cab on a later model chassis. I have a title for the donor chassis, I have nothing on the...
For whatever it's worth, you get a title just like any other, same form, it just has "Junking Certificate" printed at the top. If anyone wants to...
I'm curious - they wouldn't consider the junking certificate to cover the body, or South Carolina doesn't do this? You'd be wise to check first...
Getting titles to the old cars we mess with is frequently a problem. It occurred to me that something I'm aware of might be of use to others. At...
I'm about to put an old road tractor body on a late model pickup chassis. Before I go to Jeff City asking questions and stepping into something I...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] The couple, my family members, both died this week. The kids have to remove everything very soon. I know about as much about...
I'm glad it worked out. I'm going to have to go through it myself now. I bought a couple Gardners, one had no title. I was over there about 2...
My comments about not starting without a title were directed to the post about the frame and associated parts, not Larry's Chevy. By the time my...
I really don't know the route to solve your problem, but I'd sure get the title worked out before putting time and money into it. Just like...
Thanks. Gene
Anyone know what time the cruise in at Snapkas starts tonight?
You guys make good points. I've not been hassled over my historic plates, but then, I've always used them pretty much as they were intended....
You are correct, it is titled as a "1983 speciality". Seems wrong some way. If you said it would never be a problem, you'd have a 99% chance of...
I could do that, but then you have mileage limits and other complications. I'll go that way if the hot rod doesn't work out or gets too...
My other home is Texas, and there you title it as what the running gear is, regardless of how it looks. So there isn't the advantage for you that...
If it is 1983 I have to have working turn signals. I have to have seat belts, I have to meet some emissions requirements. I'd have to go back and...
I found the T Bucket I was looking for and have a title question, specific to Missouri. Missouri has 2 things I'm interested in but not that...
