Yeah, nice to have access to a shop with a tire machine and spin balancer. Guess those 4 years of auto shop weren't wasted

We made it to 70 in central PA, back to 50's and rain tomorrow though

Tire Rack delivered the goods and I got the new Dunlops mounted and balanced today. I cleaned up the wheels a little, since the clearcoat was peeling and the wheels were oxidized. I think if I give...

I have gotten good pricing and fast shipping every time. Not my exclusive online dealer, but I usually check them first

Nice car and welcome aboard from PA!

All I need is some cooperation from the car, and we will both be there!

Yes, for sure. Don't know how long Tire Rack will have them in stock, but they are clearanced right now for $62 each plus shipping if anyone is interested

Yes, I was happy with the results for sure. I really was wondering what was going to be under the muck and spider's nests. I have some "must for rust", which is supposed to reverse the surface rust -...

Sorry, I will give you a link to the photobucket account... It's the first 16 pics.

Hope that works. I have links to attachments...

Today was the big day! The car made it under it's own power to the shop and up on the rack for the undercarriage degrease and powerwash. I took some before and after shots, I think it cleaned up...

Actually it was the "wow, I didn't realize the inside lip of the K-member is that sharp" when the nut cracked loose on the rag joint. BTW, has anyone tackled a steering rack rebuild? If so, how bad a...

So I figure, today's the day to powerwash the underside. Nope. I find that the rag joint is toast, so off to NAPA I go. I replace the rag joint with a few struggles, and now I think the rack or PS...

Finally got a chance to get out to the garage and finish the brake job. Put the new M/C on, and of course couldn't bleed the front brakes. I saw the thread about the same problem, and took the...

I am going to head over for curiosity's sake, I will be sure to take some pics. This auction and the Grange Fair are about all that would bring a crowd to Centre Hall, PA. (some in the PA posse...

C'mon up to Happy Valley! We can get the PA posse together. I cannot guarantee a driving SVO by the end of April, though

This guy was obviously a Ford lover. He lived less than 1/2 hour from me. Too bad I don't have an endless supply of disposable income... I really want a Shelby

So, back to the projects section after a detour to the electrical forum to sort out the no-crank issue. The next item of importance is getting the old girl to stop on demand, since I had my moment of...

Whew, nothing like a little near disaster to make you feel alive! Today I am talking to a mechanic buddy at his shop, he says "bring your car down, we'll get it up on the rack and powerwash it, I...

Got the timing set today, the old girl is sounding pretty good despite what my phone may portray. All of my alignment marks were close from when I had the dist. pulled, it was at 9 degrees BTDC by...

Sorry about the video quality, it's my cheap phone and bad lighting in the garage. But hey, it's a video and should keep me from getting a one post ban, right?

...

I can say with a sigh of relief that today, the SVO started and ran! I went through the no start checklist, and found a fuel pressure issue (almost none) and after installing the 2 new fuel pumps,...

Stockman,

From what I read, the PIP sensor can intermittently fail, and apparently like the TFI can test good when cold and fail when hot. You have to pull the distributor to change it. Here's a...

It's cramped, but pull the alternator up and out of the way. Then use a short combo wrench, or a crows foot socket if you have one. I can't remember right now if it was 17mm or 5/8 on the dist hold...

sorry, I guess you were looking for more than test info. Easiest way to do TFI is to pull the distributor. Mine had torx head screws so I didn't need a special socket like others have said. I had a...
