I also need to buy some spark plug wire crimpers. I got a free set of Edelbrock Max-fire black 8.5mm wires when I bought the Air Gap. I did the Accel wires with needle nose pliers but I want these done right, lol.
Making progress...but the score is headers 4, me 1. Silly me, I thought Small Blocks were easier to work with. My goal was the Mopar Nats weekend - good thing I didn't state the year!!
My ceiling height is 10 feet 8 inches. I am 6 feet tall and the lift goes to 6 feet max lift. I am less than 6 inches from max lift, so I do need to duck to go under the ramps, but once under I have plenty of headroom to work under the car.
Exploratory surgery on a 318, hoping for a minor overhaul. This engine will be used as a temporary replacement for my 340 for when its gets a major gone through.
Your chance of getting a dozen thumbs up is pretty good with pictures. No pictures? Probably zero. Lol
dropped $2500 today getting necessary parts. New dizzy for the new stealth sniper efi, and american auto wiring harness super premium. various accutremonts such as O2 bungs, rags, header paint, voltmeter for ammeter swap.........I feel like I need a cigarette it was so good. Ill send pics when it arrives. Im so stoked to finally have this car painted and going back together!
Not a thing, mine is on the back burner until this '65 is done and out of my way. Just got the 273 and power steering box out of it.
You are welcome to borrow mine! I have 90 and 180 ends in plenty. I may be home for the weekend depending on these storms in Florida!
It seems to be turning back again! Crazy storm this one Is, having heavy rain at the moment! Last 2 days were wet and Monday was wet and very windy! I think the FMA show for this weekend may be wet. I will make the decision tomorrow to bring the fish home early! If so I will head back quickly for and a quick return to Florida for the rest the month. But perhaps if timing works we can get you what you need!
Yes, hot Saturday and overcast/windy on Sunday! They lost a bunch of the 50/50 tickets in the wind! Was quite funny! I had not got the chance to buy any as I was visiting big Daddy and other car owners!
My car has been down for awhile due to the choke. Being the electricity noob that I am, car left me stranded. After a week from recovering from my sad Scooby Doo errors and 16 fouled plugs later (and playing some ELO - Telephone Line), I finally wired a relay correctly for the electric choke. I picked up a 750cfm mechanical secondary Holley Brawler to replace my (now back up) 600cfm Carter 4 barrel. I also installed Hella H4 headlights to replace my dead sealed ones. I also picked up a relay harness for the lights (Will install soon). I also cleaned up the grille and removed all the black paint for a repaint in the future. Next thing is heater core, those spark plug wire holders for the commando valve covers, and possibly dabble with the MADD wiring that I have seen on this forum, of course if I'm feeling brave enough. Happy Veterans Day!
