Unfortunately it wasn't a dealership. Just a local garage trying to boost their profit on a simple/not too profitable job by attempting to instill fear in someone they believed incapable of verifying their diagnosis. :wack: Grant

"Gee Ward, quit being so hard on the Beaver." Ward was the Beaver's dad :) and that's what Beave's mom often said As far as shops go? I know there are honest ones out there. I commend those that run their shops that way. Unfortunately, when people dont understand what you are doing, all of...

The people that blow them up are usually trying to get every last HP by running the fuel lean. Just putting a small wet plate with a small spray is not going to make it go Kaboom. Just set it up rich, and have fun. It'll get you into the next class I'm sure. Now memike, if you start getting...

Wow, that must have been a real helpful thread lol.

Incorrect alignment will cause the uneven wear on the tire, and if the alignment is off, it will cause the tire to scrub since it is not always rolling straightforward. Your ball joints may or may not be bad (loose) or you would hear a clunk occasionally, but the fact the boots are shot, allows...

I know this is obvious, but you didn't mention it in the items you checked. I'm presuming front drums. Did you check the brakes for excessive, unusual pad wear? Grant

Check for fuel and spark. Fuel is easy, look down carb and push the throttle shaft. You should see gas coming out of the accelrator pump. Check spark as above. I dont see an electronic ignition box in the pics. Might be somewhere I dont see. If your car is not using one, it may use points in...

If the car is turning over, and if it sounds like it is firing until you release the key, the culprit is usually the ballast resistor. Located on the firewall. White, ceramic, with wires going in both ends. You can jump it to verify it runs, but dont keep it running without it. If it is not...

Definitely agree with this. New cars are being advertised as baloon-filled cocoons that will "ensure" your survival. Add that to the lax driving tests that dont even require that a new driver "locks them up" from 60mph to at least have an inkling of what to do in a real-world situation. Just...

x3 on speedo.

Just curious about your first post. What was the difference between the two tailshafts? grant

that wouldn't work for me now.. 36 wouldn't be considered too old anymore lol..

First off, at your young age, you dont need a garage lol.. If you are keeping the slant, just be aware that doing it up is not really any cheaper than any other motor. If its running fine as is, and you're on a budget, maybe just clean it up, throw on the stuff you got and run it for a...

Having owned a couple of sixes and super sixes, and enjoying them for what they were, I always regretted not putting the money into a V8 instead. Without going crazy, even a 318 made my A-bods more enjoyable. Just my opinion, so don't hate on me Grant

If you picked up all this for $200, that gives you an idea of the value of what you're selling. Grant

Oneway, No, all unibodies were dipped in primer and color painted as a unit. The only black used was applied after the paint on the area behind the grille to prevent you seeing the color through the grille. This was sprayed haphazardly with no masking applied. Grant

that is too cool.. now, if you mounted a couple of speakers under the car.. that'd get some looks haha Grant

Whoops, guess not. Guess I'll stick with post 67, which I know a little about. Grant

Check the glove compartment for a ballast resistor. If there, try it. If not, buy two, put one in the glove compartment, and try the second one. :) Grant

Storing your first motor (or any other large piece of car) is the hardest. Once you've broken them in (parents/girlfriend/wife), it gets easier and easier.. My wife just laughs at the stuff I have everywhere, and even my mom says she doesn't mind having those FB Cuda glass stored behind her...
