    PS leak, like a sieve

    Just bought the seal kit from napa. 14 bucks. I love how cheap some parts are for these old cars. The kit has two seals, two washers and a new snap ring. I've arranged some garage space to work on it tomarow. There were two options for the seal kit at napa. One for saginaw and one for ford...

    PS leak, like a sieve

    Well, that is certianly good news. But my chiltons is a little light on pitman arm seal details. Being held in by a snap ring, would it be right to assume the seal doesnt need to be pressed in/out with tools more specialised than a big socket and hammer? What is the TQ value for the...

    CS @ DMV

    I wouldn't be able to pick him out in a lineup. I might love the cars that have his name on them, but I honestly dont think I've ever seen his picture. What kind of daily driver does he bump around in? Did you get him to sign your glove box?:rlaugh:

    I want to go down to the junkyard, pull out a 1987-97 7.5L's fuellie 460 and swap in place of my 351c. FEW questions: 1. Is it a direct swap? I dont need to notch my towers or anything like that do I? 429's came stock, which is basicly a destroked 460 so I think I'm in the clear. Can someone...

    I have a chance to go to australia... need oppinions

    Keep in mind, once you get off the eastern coast, theres nothing. The VAST majority of the population is on that coast, which means bars and toilets and crazy drunk locals . Plus the great barrier reef, great keppal island, the witch sundays and tons of man made stuff. But if your the type of...

    How far is too far?

    Its really hard to tell someone to give up a perfectly good, and well proven reliable motor. It sounds like you have your hands full doing the body and interior work. SO put all your effort into finishing those, and leave the motor alone untill it blows up. By then you'll really feel like your...
