No problem Greg!

Awesome Rich. Good to know. Thanks!

Thanks Geoff. Your engine bay is spectacular! Kevin. Thanks Greg. That's good advise! Retire 2014 is correct about the hood. It was not latched all the way down in that picture.

Thanks Sheriff! The rodents had a field day with the old girl, unfortunately. It's too bad the car was stored in a shed with those low miles. The car came with some cool paperwork. The owner worked at Ford and insisted that the memo regarding "streaking" be kept with the car. Unfortunately the...

Hi all. I am working on an original "shed find" all original 07,912 mile '73 convertible. My goal is to clean the car up and get it running and driving well. I had to pull the heads and rebuild them because the valves were frozen as the car had not been run in 45 years. The inside of the motor...

I've got a Yamaha setup and a pair of mint Klipsch Cornwall II speakers I bought new back in 1985. They're in my "Man Cave" that currently (partly) serves as a store house for my 71-73 parts collection. Unfortunately it never gets used, but the sound is fantastic!

Your car came out nice, but I can't believe Graphics Express is able to sell that stencil that clearly was not made properly. I'm talking about the distance of the start of the blackout from the front of the hood. I'm pretty sure the factory hood patch was wider too. Why don't they just fix...

I've owned lots of these cars and never seen that tube.

You both beat me to it, lol!

Thanks everyone for the replies. Timothy responded to my email and was very helpful. All the key points he made to me have already been clarified in this thread. He had the same idea as Bentworker and sent me pictures of the parts from the hardware store. I just needed to do a little more...

I'm so pissed off! He better not try to tell me what he sent me is what is pictured in his advertisement. I can clearly see the difference! And the video shows a way to install the adapter without buying a 1/2 inch Allen wrench for $23.00 I won't use for anything else. All you have to do is...

Thanks Bentworker! Now I can clearly see that they broached the wrong end. Also, I watched this video and it explains a lot! The funny thing is that the adapter in the video looks like all the threads are the same size.

Okay. So I got the fitting in the filter. Now what?

No Geoff, I don't have one of those, but I worked on it a little more and it threads into the filter, just really tight, not like the easy way our filters spin onto the male fittings on our engine blocks. I can't find a video showing how to do this swap, but so far it doesn't seem to be worth...

I bought this setup and, unless I'm doing something wrong, it does not work! The huge expensive Allen wrench, which I can't use for anything else, enters from the wrong side of the adapter, and the filter starts over the threads of the adapter then locks up and the filter will not advance! Now I...

I need to call Auto Owners!

I'm with Geoff. I have no idea why the tilt and non-tilt rag joints weren't the same. Makes no sense at all.

All my cars are insured through Hagerty kcmash, and my policy says Essentia also, so I don't think it's your agents fault. I think that's the case with everyone insured with Hagerty.

I've done two toploader 4 spd to T5z conversions and I've loved both! I used the factory flywheels, bell housings, and transmission cross members, but used the adapters between the transmissions and the bell housings. The factory shifter arms even bolted up directly to the T5 shifters. I changed...
