Always have liked the Jags. This is the 68 I restored a few years ago.
Checked my car and it's got a metal pipe that is formed to fit between the filler and tank with a rubber connector hose at each end. I assume this was how the car was built back in 1989 but only the...
Only met one guy who tipped the scales at over 600 lbs. He was 6' 8" and was a retired NFL offensive tackle. Unfortunately this is what usually happens to those guys when they are no longer playing.
I think you realize this but the wrench doesn't weigh 600 lbs, it's more like 40 lbs and is about 5 ft long when assembled. Max torque setting is 600 lb/ft though we only had to set it at 550. I...
Sure does make a brake job on a car seem easy by comparison. To get the rear rotors off, you have to first pull the axels which involves slamming a 6 lb hammer into their ends to shock the cones...
I'm doing the brakes of my motorhome, does that count? All new discs, new calipers, flex lines, bearings, etc. Damn this stuff is heavy conpared to cars. Had to borrow a friend's torque wrench...
I wonder if he's still alive? That roll cage is merely decorative and tractors are very prone to rolling over as they have no suspension. It makes our cars seem sensible.
Well Bill, I'm a retired engineer too and when I was replacing the bolts on mine I did cut down some grade 8 ones to keep the shank in the joint. I didn't bother to calculate the shear strength etc...
Immersing the wheels in a water tub is a very good suggestion as it will not only find any leaks in the tires but also the wheels. Seems to me that these wheels are riveted to the rims and therefore...
Aren't the Goodyear "billboards" bias tires?
Just yesterday a friend was telling me how he solved a similar frustration by using a can of that goop that is sold for sealing flats. It might be worth trying and won't cost much.
Might be a good idea to carry a spare fuel filter in case it gets sucked into it. Otherwise, I'd not worry about it as trying to get it out of the tank could be quite difficult and there's a good...
Just signed on for the first time in a month and read the sad news. My sympathy goes to your family. I have lost both my parents and though it was quite a few years ago, I still think of them...
Alan, I haven't been to the forum for quite a while and had assumed that your mom was likely home and recovering well by now, so was shocked to read of her setbacks etc. We are all hoping for the...
Seems we are all family here. My thoughts and best wishes are with you too. I can sort of relate to this, having spent over three weeks in the hospital last year sitting on the cardiac ward with a...
That all makes sense now. I have considered adding a thermostatic switch to the cooling system to turn on the fan as even a single case of overheating can destroy an engine. I've seen the babbit...
Aren't they the ones that are linked to Unique's site, seemingly "recommended"??
My engine was built by HESCO in Birmingham. What have you heard about them? I felt pretty comfortable getting it...
Do you know what the cylinders had been bored to? I'm wondering why the cylinder cracked and if it was related to the block being bored too much.
What engine is it?
What it is "registered as" matters not at all to the officials one deals with at the border. They are well aware of some replica cars being registered with the year of the original but demand that...
I found this thread interesting. Mine was built in 89 and had titled in Tennessee since 91 when I bought it about 6 years ago.
It runs great, too good according to my wife who hates the car,...
Check the video. Note that when the Mustang passed the Camero it was going about 100 mph faster. That Camero is no slouch as it does a 1/4 in under 10 seconds and 150 mph but in the video it looks...
I figure anyone under 25 wouldn't live to see the sun set if they got behind the wheel of mine, and not because I killed them, the car would do that.
Kind of used up a lot of his luck on that one. I think I'll check my tie rod ends!
