Steve's website very often shows out of stock but he will make them on order. All of his parts are hand made here in the US

Bearings are usually non ferrous. I agree, debris in the pan at 800 miles isn't a good sign. I would change the oil on a shorter interval for the next couple of changes and cut the oil filter open too to see if the engine continues to make debris. Maybe it was just an anomily

Did you all read all the comments? BaT threatened the seller with a site ban if they don't close the deal. BaT evidently has the right to add the difference if a car gets close to reserve...

You could shorten the port by an 1/8"

I'm not a huge fan of clamping brake lines but it shouldn't hurt them

I like the idea of swapping axle shafts side to side.

Interested in what they say

I would tint after install. A good tint shop aught to be able to trim right at the gasket accurately enough. Also if the tint needs changing you can remove it all and replace. And also for the reasons you have expressed

That's a good plan. It is a pretty extensive list. I would be interested in your local platers contact info for the gas door locks, hatch lock buttons etc.

I did the same thing but then these sat for anumber of years and had gas dry out in them. So they needed cleaning and double checking. They needed very little adjustment

These carbs are therapy carbs. Done probably ten years ago

I have been dealing with them a lot lately too. Matter of fact I have an order in route as we speak... Great service

Im not a huge fan of Amazon but they are becoming the distribution network for all businesses. That ship has sailed I think. I had that truck for another 4 or 5 years probably. The only thing i don't know is how flexible it is after it's cured

I have used this before on an early 80s Ford fuel tank that had pin holes near the mid line. It worked great and lasted as long as I had the truck https://www.amazon.com/Seal-All-380112-Contact-Adhesive-Sealant/dp/B008VK0JS4

Sorry about your mum. Hopefully she comes through it ok.

That was my concern and I figure the high percentage result is to just use gasoline

I can adjust it if it turns out lean. The big SUs are a pain to do. Cody's are next to impossible to accurately adjust. Will probably go EFI on both of them eventually

But Obviously you would never do that!! 😉

Work on float bowls today. I've been procrastinating on this for a couple of days I tried to use an electric pump I have but it overwhelmed the needle valve. So I rigged up this Mounted the carb to the vise. I found out late the esiest way to do this is to chuck a piece of all thread up in the vise and bolt the carb body to the vise using the all thread like an intake manifold stud. Pulled the feed line off the bottom of the bowl and added a short section of clear line turned up by the bowl. Then this funnel I connected to the clear line with some heat shrink I was having problems with the needle valves not sealing well. Turns out I had some new Grose jets on the shelf. Bought them 5 years ago... Both set about 25mm down from the gasket line After testing the clear line can be lowered to drain everything into a container. I used gasoline to try to be accurate

Nope, that ones got a hole in the diaphragm. When you block the upper port you make it part of the vacuum chamber Unless Zkars says different

I went with 16's for just this reason. I actually prefer the look of the 15s. I am going to start with a 215/55 I think and see if that'll clear. I would like to get into a 225/50 R16 because there were a lot of vintage high performance cars that ran that size. So lots of tire options. I will do what I have to to get the clearance when it comes time

Which car is that? 200lbs is good! Are they like that all the way across?

After cutting the switch off, mine reverses and runs one more cycle to park the blades. If yours runs more than that I would think the issue is in the little relay box mounted to the wiper motor

What's the possibility I could make these in a reasonable amount of time??
