You can try using JB Weld to secure a new stud. I've had success using it in similar situations. Create a rough, clean surface for best adhesion.

Has anything went down or stayed the same price wise in CA lately? One reason I left Sac and moved to Idaho. Try State Farm. They actually have an acceptable premium. Mine is $255 per year based on a vehicle value of $40,000. Good luck.

No worries. Everyone is telling me go FI, but I really want to get a TQ to work and all this will help me in this process also. Cheers - John (real name). For all of you that didn't know, I took that name because I am always the first one up making coffee. Cheers again.

I have two TQ's. One is a 6166S for a 1972 400 Automatic (currently on my car) and the other is a 6321S for a 73 400 HP automatic that has the altitude compensating diaphragm for the vacuum advance. I have a chance to pick up another "parts" carb that is a 9096 which came out of a 1977 440 truck...

Looks great! Beautiful work.

Same setup. And as I understand it, these are very desirable.

Five years down the road after you got it where you want it, the bad taste of the original price given by this DB will be forgotten. You will be enjoying a sweet ride. Congratulations on what looks like an amazing hot rod.

Great introduction, thanks for that! Looks like overall you got a really good car. And I do not care if she's across the pond. Seems like she will be taken care of and that's all the matters. Cheers!

Good morning neighbor. Welcome to the show.

A 700cfm carb (or a little more cfm - I was always told to double the displacement of the engine to determine a good start point for cfm of the carb), 10.5 pistons (from early year 340), a little head and intake work on the ports, headers, a proper camshaft for either a stick or automatic...

Watch this before your purchase. It is a YT video about using braided stainless steel brake lines.

I had thought the same thing on a few parts and pieces during my restoration. I figured if what I put on now lasts 25 years, we're good. I doubt I'll be around driving it when I am 85. Let the next person spend the extra cash. My 2 cents. Pun intended. Cheers!

Welcome to the show, from your neighbor in Idaho. I left Sac, CA in June of 2023. I see the wood stove, so you must be up North and not effected by the fires hopefully. I agree with Challenger RTA, you seem to be off to a good start. Cheers!

Welcome from across the pond. Ha, I have a tach in a storage box just like yours. Question, do you folks run 1/8 and 1/4 mile over there or is it metric distance? Just curious, not trying to be an a$$. Cheers!

I think they were from Keystone? They were real magnesium for a while, and then they switched them to aluminum for fire reasons as I was told.

I used Por15 on everything that was rusty and would be covered/unseen. Probably similar to the Rust-oleum product as it creates a bullet proof finish as it binds with the rust.

If approved "as-is", I'll put my money on "ex-spouse". Hey, you need at least one closet. And you need more lateral on the front. Spendy to have a swiss cheese garage door wall.

Welcome on board. Great choice for a background. Car is cool too, LOL.

Merry Christmas to all.
