    Steering box slop

    I have been driving my 67 around for the past couple of months since I got it all back on the road and I didn't spend any time and or money on the steering box (I had plans to put either a borgeson or a rack under it) But my funds have dwindled as they tend to do and I have a good bit of slack...

    Exhaust Thoughts

    FWIW, I have the 2.5" mandrel kit from summit with the IMCO turbo mufflers, The kit only cost 200 bucks, but it cost me 200 to have it installed because nothing lined up like it was supposed to, but still 400 for a fully mandrel bent 2.5" turbo kit isn't too bad. It sounds ok, not too loud...

    Car spits/stumbles at low RPM under acceleration.

    I do like quick fuel, but If i keep the car I am really REALLY eyeballing one of those new holley avenger TBI kits...probably be best off sticking my old autolite 2100 back on it honestly...Good Idea for the washers, I'll give that a try.

    Car spits/stumbles at low RPM under acceleration.

    I know about the pump play, I thought I had adjusted it out. The issue is the spring on the pump arm...it gives and has to compress a bit before it has enough tension to actually push down the pump arm. I may try ordering a new spring (or stretching this one a bit) because I can open the...

    Car spits/stumbles at low RPM under acceleration.

    Ugh, just got a new smartphone and that's the main source of my internet now, I havent gotten used to typing with that thing, anyway. I advanced the timing a little bit and that seemed to help, still has a little hesitation in it. I did tune the idle with a vaccum gauge, I also set the timing...

    1968 coupe, rear lights not working right

    Check the grounds to the front lights as well, I had an issue with my lights being screwy like that and It actually ended up being my front light harness not being grounded properly. Also sounds like you may have the running light and the brake light wired up backwards.

    Car spits/stumbles at low RPM under acceleration.

    Hi guys, its been a while, I have been out enjoying my car since I got it finished this past winter and while doing the "shakedown" period I noticed a tuning issue I am having troubles with. I am in no ways a good carburetor guy, but I'm hoping you can help me out there. I have a 67 coupe with a...

    insurance

    well I didnt say this, but some things are best left unsaid when it comes to those matters... until you have a limb fall on it at your house and the adjuster comes to see...thats when you park it at your brothers house, lol. As for the rate increasing moving to the country, im not sure I buy...

    insurance

    Depends on where you live, what kind of driving you do, how many miles...etc. I live in the sticks and the car stays in a garage (and I have a spotless driving record). If you have an open carport, or live in an apt complex and drive the car daily then all those things can jack up your...

    Your experience with aftermarket a/c units ....

    I live in good old muggy louisiana (where I actually ran my A/C yesterday!) anyway I have the same setup, 67 with factory console and it had factory a/c but it was total junk so I replaced it with the Vintage Air Gen IV unit. LOVE it....it's a very nice compact unit, I installed it myself on a...

    What do you think of this T5 Ratio?

    Just double check that tranny tag and make sure the input shaft is the correct diameter, I had a NWC sold to me and the guy said it came out of a 5.0 and i put a dial caliper on the stem of the input shaft and found out that it actually was for a 4 cyl. I told the guy and he didnt believe me...

    Pepper in the radiator fix

    Wow...got to get used to the new format here. Anyway, I have used "stop leak" before and ended up with several rows of my radiator being plugged up. I also nearly got a melted face because of it...I used to work at a jiffy lube in my college days and one of the duties was to check the coolant...

    Pepper in the radiator fix

    Water Glass aka Sodium Silicate, you can buy it from ebay all day long in gallon jugs for like 25 bucks. It does work good for most kinds of leaks, but this being in a gasket, that sodium silicate likes metal to metal, not sure how it would have done on this gasket. I actually had a leak in...

    Pepper in the radiator fix

    I had heard of eggs too...but I didnt like the thought of a huge chunk of egg globbing up and stopping up a couple of my rows, at least the pepper can be like stop-leak, use what it needs to stop the leak and a little pepper floating around in there can't be any worse than the other rust/crud...

    Pepper in the radiator fix

    Alright, I know some of you have heard of putting pepper in a radiator to repair a small leak. Well, I had a small leak...but not in the radiator, in the gasket between the timing cover and the block and it would pool up about an ounce of water over a week...not really a bad leak more of a seep...
