    Vacuum distributor question

    Most are on the front of the carb at the bottom of the base. Sometimes they get loose and come out. There are several variations of the 4100. Do you have the tag or part numbers?

    temp sending unit

    Yes, they get worn inside and won't get a good contact. There may be something else wrong, but I would start there. Cut it off and do what Vinyl66 said. Don't try to squeeze it together, it will have an even worse connection.

    Vacuum distributor question

    It sounds like you may have a 4100 off of a hi-po engine (65 Falcon?). The hi-po carbs did not have vacuum ports. The distributors on the hi-po engines used mechanical advances. Where did you get the carb? If it is a hi-po 4100, you have a rare find.

    What acid to use for stripping?

    All of the big panels like the doors, hood, trunk etc. and the shell are going to be dipped. They will also be dipped in E-coat primer. I thought about having everything dipped, but it is an eight hour round trip there and back. There are hundreds of small parts to clean and I can,t get them...

    What acid to use for stripping?

    I was thinking about trying acid to strip the many small metal parts that came off the fastback. I am having the car body chemically stripped (non acid). I wanted an effective method to use at home for the smaller pieces. I need to be able to strip paint and rust. Sanding and sandblasting do not...

    e-coating questions

    Has anyone had their car e-coated? I am going to have the fastback stripped with a non-acid chemical stripper. The company recommended one of their Friends for e-coating. It is supposed to be some kind of zinc-phosphate coating. Will I still need to put the epoxy primer over this stuff? Will the...

    Anyone in OHIO know these guys?

    I can't complain about the price either for what all they do. They also gave me a number for someone close by that does what they called e-coat primer, where they dip the whole car and coat the places you can't get to after stripping like the inside of the rocker panels, etc. I can't see paying...

    pinched seam question

    I also forgot to mention that the last IDIOT that painted the car put bondo over the drain holes. I always thought they put those there for some reason. As I go deeper this car has PI (previous idiot) all over it. When I get done with this car I should be able to write a book about the horrors...

    pinched seam question

    There were about 6-8 very small spot welds around the lid. I drilled them and used a thin scraper and tapped it around under the lid enough to get the duck billed pliers on it and bend it back.
