Hey, sorry not here much lately. If i understand what youre talkin about those were made in Japan in small numbers, sorry cant help :(
Just so you know, the motor is stuck! I re-tightened the belt about 4 times, each time it ran fine for a minute or so then slipped again. I kept...
I think something can slip through occasionally. That wagon IMO was/is too cool to bother. But then again, my opinion might be biased a tad cause...
Now that i think of it, maybe in the stats these were badged as Fairlanes? If so it would be fairly easy to find...
You have no idea how much i'd like to have one of these wagons, and maybe is a ''big block'' 6 too? I wonder how is it that all the cars i truly...
Yeah, itsa good idea, and something im thinkin of doin. It will suck not rollin on 4 spoke Cragars, or any other 4 spoke mag, but there are far...
There aint no clip on the tensioner, but there is a pin on the boltin plate, so i assume there should be one. There never was one as far as i can...
Well, the belt slipped again at idle yesterday night when i was goin home :( Funny cause i used the car at lunch break and it was fine. Checked it...
I see what you mean. and totally see why. I changed the water pump cause it was old as frekk and leaky, while on the therm im clueless, as it has...
I looked for them for years. They always popped up when i had no money or something. Of course now that i dont need them anymore they seem to...
All fixed. Cause of troble was the belt, that slipped 2 teeth! Most probably when the mechanic changed it togheter with the water pump and all...
But then again, on modern veichles they have coils that are ridicolously soft, and tuff shocks. So maybe your problem is more on the shocks side...
So the problem is not the coils being too soft? thats odd. I'd get cylinders and accumulators and chock the coils out the window :D Might seem...
Are they rare or something? Seeing how nice that cowl piece is makes me wonder why ive never seen one :) Good of you for chosing something diffrent.
Google conversion says 325lbs is 0.1625 tons. If thats right the coils are way too soft. My guess is that 2 ton coils with adequatley paired...
LOL, thats too kool. I take it is a domestic pig then, sorta like a dog. Pig aside you do stellar work. That hood mod if i didnt know any better...
Oh, yeah. Soory, thats pretty much logic. I was probably tired yesterday after a days work....:o Makes perfect sense. BTW, those side draft...
So, remove spark plugs, rocker cover, put the car in gear, pull the hand brake, and try to crank it by hand? Why i have to remove the rocker...
Im still in deep waters here. All ignition components have been swapped with new ones and there is spark. Fuel gets to the cylinders, i removed...
I always thought 13s were the perfect size for those cars, just like 14s or 15s max are right on full size. I would think runnin 15s on such a...
I agree on the vette. Wheels aint wrong for once. Im not a lover of big billets on old cars but once every 100 cars one will work. This is that...
haha, yeah i know. I never said it was a good idea but theres a lot of guys using old bias tires and it seems that as long as they are in good...
Kept outside and daily?? Plain bad ass :) way to go.
I soooooo love these. Your wheel/tire combo is bad ass too. Post more pics!!
Well, im not a hot rod guy, but not liking this one should be considered a crime against humanity :) Kool as frekk! On a related note, Allison...
I like wire baskets with the baskets on. theres a rather bitchin Hillman wagon that has them without the baskets, but chrome, and looks great....
So whats the problem of using a radial that sat on a warehouse for ten years? Theres people using old crossplies with 30, 40,or even 50 years of age.
You need to lower the pig.
I wonder what possed the owner to choose those wheels after such an amzing work on the body. I sorta peek a billet steerin wheel too. Probably has...
Oh yeah, of course this method works only if you have the same size wheels and tires front and back. If theyre staggered i used to measure the...
