Check your suppliers, but I found RockAuto the best deal for me. There are many posts on this subject which concern fuel senders, lines, rubber hose and pumps. Tip; use galvanized 3/8 x 3 1/2 -4" carriage bolts, washers and nuts. to replace the strap bolts.

I currently have 3 deg pos caster and I'd like to put more in as I feel I need to steer the car back to straight ahead. As far as I know, there are shims that can be used, but custom upper control arms are the better way. 3 degrees was as much as my 'guy' could get without stressing the...

Back a few years, before I upgraded to a Trac-Lock diff, wheel hop was an issue. I first bought 4 1/2 leaf Grab-A-Track rear springs that turned out to be total junk. I then switched to Eaton 351 Boss rear springs at 153 lb spring rate and also added an Addco 7/8" sway bar. With the Trac-Lock...

I switched from Gas-A-Just to Excel-G all around and find the ride much less harsh. I didn't notice any problem with length.

If it's a black finish you want, then SEM Trim Black is my go-to paint of choice. Just make sure all the surfaces, nooks and grannies are thoroughly cleaned first. SEM also have other trim colors or Eastwood paints are excellent as well. If you can't get those brands, Dupicolor is a good choice...

That's good to know. Thanks. I have a good friend who also lives in the Hendersonville area, but a bit higher up in the hills. He too made it through but no power for many days. Now fresh water is an issue from what he tells me. I've been to this area and it is (was) beautiful. My thoughts are...

Oh the joys of reproduction (Chinese?) crap, made by people who just don't give a sh*t. I'm so glad I didn't have to deal with all that other than a taillight panel that actually did fit. I must have got lucky.

Yeah if you got one!!

That's it. That one is double ended which is a bonus.

They're 49 cents cheaper than NPD!!

You need a spot weld drill. It's like a mini hole saw with a spring loaded pointed tip. Center punch (spring loaded type) the center of the weld to guide the drill point. Only go through as far as the tail panel metal. It will leave a little '***" that can be ground off. I've not actually done...

That ought to solve the issue with factory tachs if I'm not mistaken.

I'm definitely a "Fastback guy". I fell in love with a Grabber Lime Mach 1 that I saw on a street in Birmingham, England back in 1972. I told my friend that one day I'd own one of them. He laughed!! 8 months later, I moved to SW Ontario, Canada. Less than a year later I bought my first one, a...

NPD (National Parts Depot) should sell them. https://www.npdlink.com/product/bushing-transmission-shifter-insulator/210544?backurl=search/products?search_terms=Hurst%2Bshifter%2Bbushing&top_parent=200001&year=1971&year=1971 These are the cheapest shown. Prices range from $4.44 to $25 EACH. Are...

The push rod pin position is 2" lower than on a non power pedal arm. I don't think the actual arm length is 2" longer because it would be too close to the floor and restrict operation. Here's a pic of what I did. I do agree that it would be better to pull the bracket to install the booster. Our...

Sorry to hear about this especially as I've sort of promoted this unit. Changing the float or complete unit is not very hard, but do it when the tank is near empty. Just be safe and use jack stands under the frame and axle. Lift left side only. Jacking the car would probably take longer than...

Personally I like the Flowmaster FlowFX I put on my car. I find them "neighborhood friendly" at low rpms, but nice a throaty when I stand on it. My car runs stock manifolds, 2 1/4" H pipe, FlowFX and custom tailpipes with chrome tips (for staggered shocks) This car had Flowmaster 40's on it when...

The mind works in mysterious ways. I was at the gym just now when I remembered what to do with the studs (I think). They unscrew. you'll probably need to spray with penetrating oil around the base of the studs. Use two nuts, one as a jamb nut against the other and they should come out. Then you...

Your memory is better than mine!!

On my car, the only panel that is not original is the taillight panel. The original had rust pin holes starting so when it was repainted, I chose to replace it. I just missed out on an NOS one, so had to buy a repop. The one I got was from NPD. The material thickness was good and no issues with...
