There's always been a "preference argument" between shift balls and ball sizes vs T handle, and of course pistol grips. I had a 70 440-6RR, second owner, and LOVED that grip. For some reason I liked it way better than T handles. On an aside, the original owner, who I met in Navy...

What you've experienced is IN PART (and only in part) of why there has been so much written about the ammeter circuit. There is more to it (many times) than just the ammeter. In general, the possible problems are: 1....Many times aggravated by the installation of a much larger...

I think "blanket party" originated in the military. I only saw one. When I was in Navy electronics "A" school at Treasure Island, San Francisco, in 68-69, our dorm was all students in the same class. Those guys wanted to SLEEP with lights out. A transient was put in with us...

I may be "forgotten." I think someone tested those against an Ed and the Ed won big. I think I've got one I bought used

The other thing, there is a product called "meter match" but unfortunately it was recently bought out and the prices went up. There is also a similar product on ebay. Sorry, I don't have the info handy. You have to get into the dash wiring, and this device goes electrically between the...

Not only that, but the LA holes ARE NOT perpendicular to the intake face, either. OP if you do a search and find a thread or two on here about this, there are some photos and such that might help to build one. I have thought and thought about this, but I soon turn 76, and I'm...

Steve the so called standard is .040" There's more to it than that, if you find the original aircraft spec, it involves orifice entrance and exit angles and such, but close enough for us rednecks. My 1.99 thrift store TI scientific calc (solar LOL) says 3/64 is .0467. If you can...

I have a suggestion where you can put the tailshaft of that transmission WHICH YOU DID NOT BOTHER TO SHOW IN THE PHOTOS

The hell do you want? WHAT IN THE HELL DO YOU WANT? JUST WHAT IN THE **** DO YOU WANT?

It would be swell, when you ask questions such as this, if you'd actually post a photo. One larger than a postage stamp, and maybe one that actually shows the entire transmission. Hint: Cannot see the output Also, "the numbers" may or may not actually mean much. As old as these girls...

Hey young'in, how the heck ya been?

On a side note, Don is 92 and looks like he could be 60

Don't forget "thread files." They can be very useful. The old school "normal" thread file is rectangular overall, and squared into 4 working surfaces which are divided in the middle of the file, lengthwise. This gives you 8 separate surfaces, so each file can accomodate 8 different...

Not necessarily in the outfit's defense, but there's a lot of owners/ operators who are old enough (and a small enough business) that just about ANY medical or other emergency can be a disaster

Uh, well, until they run out of juice. and unlike real cars, you can't run a "can full of battery" out to it,either

There are MANY Horrywood movies that should NEVER have been remade. One comes to mind, Jimmy Stewart, "Flight of the Phoenix." There is ONE movie that I liked both versions, and that was "True Grit."

If I live long enough, the 67 will have one of those fancy 4 speed autos. My converted Cummins is a 5 speed, but I routinely shift it withOUT using the clutch

What is that, about like a 7 1/4"?

AND NOW yet ANOTHER annoying story from the old days My first car, in 66 was a 57 Bel Air moredoor. It was not that nice, had evidently had a rough life. One thing it DID have, which WORKED, was an ANGLED (fancy) ELECTRIC antenna on the right rear. It ALSO had a (whatever it's...

I had no idea he'd done some of this

The 20 buck an hour hamburger flippers have caused consequences...................

I agree. You can find external residual valves, and some systems do fine without them. The reason for them is, that wheel cylinders can sometimes allow air to enter past the seals as things retract, and the purpose of the valve is to maintain a small positive pressure in the system so...

I saw my buildsheet about exactly once in somewhat of one piece before it simply melted into (think toilet tissue)

What I do sometimes is start the nut, then clamp vise grips to it to get it tight.

Ma should have NEVER quit on the Cummins inline 6's

WHERE DID he say anything about what brand the GOOD alternator is??

Jus' sayin, but "they suck" is not a technical term, and doesn't really tell us much.
