I got way more out of that simple figure 17 drawing and instructions. Than the engineer nautical instructions in the manual that about made my head explode.
Got the hockey stick stripes on. Ran the valves again, not a fun deal with that cheese cutter fan I've got on there. looks like the dash is going to have to come apart again. Doesn't look like my voltage limiter is any good gauges stay pegged. Also got the brake and one turn signal light mixed...
Started the car last night for the first time. No leaks but didn't run it long the high temp header paint I used is blistering and coming off so it smoked up the garage. It was all ready dark so it will have to wait till this weekend when I can roll it outside and run it and burn the rest of the...
I had a serious coolant leak from luckily the drivers side front exhaust stud. I found this post when doing a search on repairs. Guys this works like a champ.
It is your lucky day. I have repaired a few of these severely messed up exhaust bolt holes. Usually 340 X heads but its the same deal...
Its all part of the vintage air system. I have got a lot of original parts off this car including air conditioning and what not that after I get it running and driving, I will list to see if anybody's interested i just don't have the time right now.
sorry I all ready sold my old rear convertible panels. I do have a set of new accuform rear panels but they are for a hardtop. Also have a new set of white accuform kick and pillar panels and a refurbished set of original white door panels. I'd like to sell as a set if possible. The door and...
Thanks man,
After 4 times in and out with the gauges last week I was beginning to wonder. Especially the third time when I looked down and saw the light tubes laying on the floor board.
Dash is in, console repaired and in, seatbelts cleaned and in. Rear part of the exhaust hung. Steering column restored and installed. Dash and steering wheel still need detailed after the install hand prints on everything. I guess tomorrow will be cleanup and electric system check day. Fingers...
anyone hooked up one of the new aftermarket fog light kits. mine came with the wiring and relay for a 71 but i'm putting it in a 70 and it had no wiring instructions at all so any wiring help would be appreciated. diagrams especially. So far none of it matches any thing I found on line. thanks...
When you get to the wiring if you go with the standard gauges you should be able to pick up a used set up really cheaply off most mopar sites as people upgrade to rally gauges. For a driver if you add a tach thats all you really need.
Been a while got more done. Not going to make Vegas though. Windshield and trim in. Dash wiring is down to the main cluster. Vintage air tubes made this a real headache. Sound proofing and heat shield matt in. Seat belts cleaned and ready to go in. Carb linkage modified for the air gap intake...
Is anyone making new pillar panels for ragtops? If not does anybody have a pair or even a single for either side in nice condition they would sell? Mine are useable if I have to, but I would like to upgrade if possible. Thanks, 72*birdman
