I corrected the polarity issue.

Ok thanks for the info, both wires going to my coil were black so it's easy to see how someone could reverse thing. I'm sure many people have been under this hood before me. Thanks.

I just found this posting after I decided to research this problem myself. After doing some voltage checks on my car I am only getting about 9.5 volts at the coil during cranking. I also noticed that my coil according to the polarity markings on it is connected backwards when checked with my...

No, I just was surprised to see something other than a 5/16 pushrod, and was curious why someone might do such a thing.

Thanks

Would there be any Detriment to having pushrods in a 360 LA motor that had a diameter smaller than 5/16? I have owned and driven the car since 2016. Like many on the forum I know little about the history of the motor. I would assume that a larger diameter pushrod would be stronger, but is there...

That is what caught my eye too. Next weekend I should have some time to pull the seat out and check things closer.

We have a couple old school upholstery shops around town. I think I will pay them a visit.

I'm thinking springs too, or the lack of springs.

No support,... it's like sitting on a toilet seat you sink down.

The previous owner did a great job on the upholstery of my 1971 Swinger bench seat. If only sitting on the drivers side was as comfortable as the passenger side. Are their any members out there that have had success with fixing this condition without totally bank rolling $$$ the seat from...

It took a little work, shot some WD40 and tapped it a couple times. Steady and slow and nothing broke. Lets just hope the aftermarket parts last as long as what I took out...probably not.

Someone deleted the clip at some point. The good news is I tapped it a couple time and it started moving. I got it off. Thanks for the link for the manual I always forget about that site.

Ok I need some help on this one, I was following the how to article and everything was going ok until this one step. Maybe the difference is because my car is a 71 and not a 70? I have no snap ring here, but yet I cant get any further with the disassembly. Any ideas?
