Looking for a driver quality taillight lens for a 1964 valiant Thanks

Rebuilding a BBS, I notice a version of the accelerator pump I hadn’t seen. There’s a clip halfway up the pump rod and the slotted washer is under it with the spring below that. Looking at an exploded view of the BBS it looks like this is a variation which I’m guessing is intended to limit the...

PM sent Thank you!

Looking for a small (10.5” long) clutch fork as used on slant six and early 273 cars with 9 1/4” clutch. Thanks

Hi Dan! Great to hear your always helpful response. As you can see my fleet has grown since I saw you last.

I’ve got a couple of Carter BBSs that are missing the step up parts (hole at center and adjacent). Is that something only some carbs had, or are these carbs just missing that stuff?

Ahhhhh thank you

On a 66 console shifted automatic, how does the shifter button come off? I have a 66 missing that shifter button, and another console shifter for parts, but I cant figure out how to remove and replace that shifter button. Thanks

Ahh, thank you, I just measured. Backside outer wheel diameter is 16 1/4”, with an overhang of 5/8” on each side. So they really are 15” wheels. I -thought- I remembered they tried to mount from the back, but I could be wrong. The front lip is larger so that may have accounted for it. Ill go...

I need to replace my top, I have the new one and (I think) all the parts. What’s the best guide to top installation? I’ve studied the FSM but it has details without much context. I’m trying to figure out the general overall sequence - like maybe attach the center to windshield frame, then rear...

Oh! Guess my ID skills were worse that I realized, but that’s good news.

Ahh- it’s a big block bellhousing, didn’t realize that. Maybe the 904 instead. My hope was to keep the pushbutton but install a 360, guessing an early TC with adapter weight will be the way to go.
