Sorry for the late reply, I actually used a step down converter from Amazon

I have these items they came out of my 73 vert. Shocks seem to be in good condition, I replaced them for gas. I cannot ship so must be able to pick up in downtown San Diego. Moving soon, need them gone, free to a good home. Available starting Tuesday 10/26.

My 3 months-ago acquired 73 convertible comes with factory air but it is currently not sparking correctly. I will document my journey as I tackle parts of this hoping it can help others in the future. I think the compressor is out because it makes horrible noises. That does not worry me much...

Gauges 101 in the tutorial has the most valuable information you will ever need, dumbed down for those of us that need to be taken by the hand. I used it as my bible for my gauge set install, and sent the amp meter to @TheRktmn to be converted to a volt meter, added new oil & temp senders with...

This is awesome information to have! If I made the same request from the CA DMV, I would have needed to call back in 1973 (when I was 9 years old) to hopefully hear back from them this year! And only to hear that because of privacy laws, no information could be given.

I did and there is about 7/8” difference. I’m in Chula Vista.

I tried to explain it to the wife and she looked at me as if I was talking a different language. I gotta wait for the weekend to do it with a friend. 😂

So I visited the alignment shop, owner said it is not uncommon for the bolt that hold the spring leafs together to break and that can cause the axle to shift. And it would seem like the bolt is in place but it is not really. So this weekend I will loosen the U bolts holding the axle to the...

Thanks guys. I went under the car last night to take a look and both plates are sitting on the spring bolt correctly. I also measured from the bolt to the back of the spring to the center line of the shackle and both measurements are identical. This weekend I will put the car on the lift and...

As the title states, I noticed that the right wheel was closer to the fender wheel opening on the right (passenger) side than on the left (driver). I measured and there is a ~3/4" difference. Looks like the axle is shifted forward on the passenger side somehow, because the left side looks...

Replaced the stripped stud.

I’m sure it could but I would only use it on the raised parts of the trim. My dash bezel has the silver deep gauge circles and the rest is back. I would not do the deep part of the gauges.

One of the quickest and easy mods so far, took all of 30 seconds. Thanks Chris @PoFoMoCo for the mats.

They are available for $70. Not too bad...

As the title states, my wing pedestal bases are curved. Before I buy new ones, is there a trick I don’t know to get them straight? Are they from a different car? Not sure as previous owner installed it. Thanks.
