I’m looking to put a BBD carb setup on my ‘65 Dart w/ a slant 6. I need a floor mounted, cable actuated pedal assembly including the piece w/ the lever that the pedal pushes against. Thanks!

I’m looking for an inspection cover for an a518 (presumably the same as a 727) transmission with a small block. Preferably one that will clean up nicely without a ton of work. I’m also missing the bracket that goes from the block to the bellhousing. I’m willing to drive up to an hour from...

Aluminum fasteners, external torx, oil leaks, brittle plastic clips… always a fun time. And still the BMW straight 6 with a manual transmission almost makes up for the pain. I’ve often wondered how had it would be to swap a BMW drivetrain into an A body.

Interesting. It looks like an electric hydroboost system. I think Ford does something similar on some of the Ecoboost trucks. Let us know how it works out.

Nice Supra!

I got mine from either Classic Industries or Inline Tube. The routing around the carb is likely different depending on if you have a Carter BBS, BBD or Holley.

You did a brilliant job with those. Kudos!

Wow, nice work so far. I can’t wait to see how this turns out.

The engine in my 65 dart didn’t have a ton of blow by but drank a quart of oil every couple hundred miles. The rings had almost not tension left and the cylinders were shot. Modern synthetic oil doesn’t burn blue smoke like the good ‘ole days.

My block has been at the machine shop since before Christmas. Honestly, if they have long blocks on the shelf ready to crate and ship with a warranty then I’d say go for it. If I started the project now I’d likely not see the block again until early summer. My machinist said it was going to...

Thanks. My calipers are already mounted rearward. I think it was a happy little accodent that I mounted them the “wrong” way. I’ll give Firm Feel a call after Christmas and see what their lead time is like on sway bars.

Does anyone have any pictures and/or experience with the Firm Feel early A body front sway bar kit? I’m wondering how it compares to the Hellwig 55914 kit.

i have a Firm Feeling I know who you are referring to.

i’m not an RV person but those your RVs look awesome. I love the ’70s styling.

OMG, that’s awesome. I mean, he put the power snail right where my A/C compressor lives but otherwise, that rocks.
