does the indicator work on that side? if so the indicator and brake use the same filament of the bulb so it'll be a wiring fault. neil.

where possible try to turn the clamps sideways so they won't catch on speed humps etc :thumbsup: neil.

ebay. it's not like it'll get daily use so an expensive 'professional' one isn't needed. do try to get a set where the inserts are 'splined/knurled/ribbed' on their outside as these grip the hole in the panel better. neil. ps they're called nutserts or rivnuts depending on the brand.

re the 4 speed hump, lay it on the tunnel and 'wiggle it around and it'll find it's place, seriously it's shaped the same as the section of tunnel it needs to fit to. also a top tip is fit the hump with bolts and nutserts. it's soooo much easier to set up the shifter and rods with the hump out...

with string? :rofl:

just put a single one above the screen, like a boat :lol:

i love a gasser, although you'd never guess from my user name :lol: . i'll be watching this one for updates. neil.

i think from memory that's what i have for my 318. except i have 1.6 prw rockers so the motor'll 'think' it has more cam, lol.

lol, i'm putting a ford fe big block in my 58 nash rambler gasser project. there's 2 ways to go fast, more power or less weight....... or both of course so that's 3 :thumbsup:

agreed, i have a 3 row aluminum rad' for a full size ford bronco to go in my little 58 rambler american gasser. neil.

that's feather weight compared to the factory iron intake on a ford fe big block. the intake includes about 1/4 of what's normally the cylinder heads. i've read swapping to an aluminum intake saves about 50 lbs and i can quite believe it having done the swap a few times. neil.

i love a tunnel ram :thumbsup:

agreed. plus keeping the paint on bolts as you tighten them can be challenging. neil.

maybe it was the hard way but with the parts and time available it's often the best choice. :thumbsup: neil.

i used to swap a 1.6/2.0 engine in a ford cortina in 2 hrs. didn't need to even jack the car up, all bolts are 'reachable' from up top.
