I agree, but these are 2 places I have found them along with in the springs of the lower back seat cushion.

I have seen build sheets on top of the heater box and under the headliner.

That car was sweet to begin with, excellent pick. What options did it come with? You have a fender tag and build sheet?

Drilling holes in the primary plates is an old trick to add to the idle circuit when you have a cam that idles at too high an rpm that the idle circuit can feed it. Air bleeds add air to emulsion tube which controls the fuel curve through your rpm range in a Holley, not sure about a TQ. You...

You got to be careful enlarging air bleeds as they are cast into the aluminum top. Then again you could hard solder them shut and redrill them, but that would be a pia. To dial in a carb, it should be done on the dyno anyway. Reading plugs is like reading a crystal ball. You would need a...

This is a K&N Holley stub stack. It’s not a velocity stack, but I have seen them put into velocity stacks. The problem is one would cover the air bleeds into the primary boosters. Air bleeds are above the venturies in a Holley.

Cool TQ brothers, I’m in. I have about a dozen TQ’s , one competition series, a 71 340, several later 340’s, 3-4 9800 series sold through direct connection and others. This is my 9097 experimental carb that I milled the choke horn off of. Haven’t worked on it for a while, but next steps are...

Not sure about rust repair, I’ll have to ask him about that. Come to think of it, all the others I have seen have been rust buckets. The color is not oem. He showed me 3 oem colors and asked me which one I liked best, then it showed up at his house that color, I believe he made the right choice.

I just got to show this off. This is my neighbor’s International Scout he is restoring/refurbishing and she is a beauty. He recently got it back from paint.

Here in Wisconsin as well, but that does not keep the state patrol from handling out 15 days to remove it or ticket depending how much they are pissed at you.

I believe you can get conversion engine mounts from Schumacher or PST. If you go the v8 k frame, the later spool mount is said to be better than the older biscuit engine mounts. I would look for one that is loaded, including disc brakes. That way you can drop the old one(and sell it)and bolt...

You can find used 4 barrel carbs cheap , you just have to look. Run your 2 barrel till you find one.

All good stuff, but I would concentrate on unshrouding the valves and a good 3 or 5 angle valve job before I did any pocket porting. I would also go with a small primary 4 barrel carb. Avs or thermoquad. Get good porting advise on David visards YouTube channel. I watched all the head porting...

Keep in mind that punches get worn out and some don’t mark as deep as some of the others and punching numbers/letters is a tedious job. Hard to get straight and when you are on an assembly line you only have so much time before the next one is there to be stamped.

Yep, nice car once you remove offending ford hood scoop.

Alot depends the power and torque of your motor, the tire compound and the track surface. Any glued track with racing compound tires require more than a stock 8 3/4 rear axle can handle. It may hold for awhile, but eventually you’ll start breaking things. As far as suspension, the better the...

What. A. Beauty.

By the looks of it worth every penny.

Really nice looking paint. What does a paint and bodywork like that cost?

Once you start down the 302 path you will be captivated by its allure and deep but brief history.

Or spend a little coin and drop a 302 jimmy I6 In it or a 270 if you can’t find a 302 reasonable. The 302’s are getting pricey.

Good cab corners, thats the first place to rust out, those look good. Do you have the corner glass? Those are hard to find. You may be able to find aftermarket, they make alot of parts for those trucks, very popular trucks to restore.

Not silly at all, that’s how you do it, thoroughly.

I too chose the Oldsmobile option, but I believe Cadillac was the first. Enjoy your retirement BJ, like most working folks you earned it.

You lucky dog and you know there is a reason why you left the wife at home.

By comet I’m assuming it is comet cleanser? Turtle wax color back works well for removing oxidation from painted surfaces, requires a bunch of elbow grease. Linseed oil is the base ingredient in house paint, never considered it for a sealer on a car like that. Definitely going to try it. My...

Welcome and what killer patina.

Good progress and looks like a good job done so far. Remain focused, in the end the journey will be as satisfying as the end product.
