A little positive today: the VCs were easily removed, no stuck bolt! I was just unlucky the last time I guess! I have 2 new questions: 1) I have to find new gaskets obviously, I was told that it's better to buy reinforced fiber gaskets rather than the "old school" cork gaskets...first, is it...

Nice, thanks to you two! My first and only experience with VCs was bad so I assumed the probability that it would be the same as the 2nd So I'm going to try! I have seen several "horror stories" on the net about VCs still leaking even after being replaced (it's like illnesses, I should stop...

Hi there! Spring is well established even here in Quebec, it's time to bring the beast out of its hibernation! Obviously the trouble continue to accumulate and I don't know when I'll finally be able to really hit the road with this damn car on a regular basis... I very much regret having...

Hi guys sorry for the delay! A lot has happened since the last time! I had to send my booster in a shop in Ontario (John Stuart Brake Boosters) for a rebuild (500$), I bought a brand new battery, 4 brand new 235/75R15 Firestone tires that I installed on 15x7 wheels with dog dish hubcaps, I...

Hi guys sorry for this long absence!! I'm a classic cars appraiser and it's the rush from May to July I get paid to drive my car and see lots of beautiful cars, so I can't complain, but it's true that I have little free time these days Here's the latest news: the car went to the garage as...

Hi guys! I'm restarting a '69 300 that has been stored in a barn for 30 years and I would like to protect it as best as possible while it's dry before it sees the rain again There is only one hole in the vinyl roof... I wonder about the best method to adopt to repair it and seal it in the...

Good news guys! The car is running! I finally received the new fuel pump, installed it (what a pain with the pushrod which falls back and blocks the lever of the pump) and the car started easily... The carb is needing a good adjustement (but my mechanics will install a new Holley carb next...

Photo albums It's going to be fun now :eek: The guy on this forum advises not to try to unscrew the access plug to the fuel pump pushrod, how do I replace the rod without removing this plug? XD

Yes I tried that of course (see above in the thread), I checked that 2 times, the first one the pump was working, it spitted gas, and the 2nd time (when I wanted to try again the flow), nothing

Ooh nevermind I just saw on the net that there is an pushrod access hole under the pump :D

It really doesn't look like what I expected, I don't see how you can remove it or even measure it without removing it, but I will start looking for a caliper to try to take the measurement :D

Thanks for you advice! :) In fact it doesn't really go according to my plans, I had planned a certain budget so that the car goes to the garage directly after the purchase so that my mechanic takes care of restarting it in the best conditions But with the pandemic it is closed so I have to take...

I got it! Don't see any damage anywhere I know it's normal but is there a way to check the pump (without specific tool to test the pressure)? Don't worry about the traces on the rod it's my finger mark The mechanism seems to work very well, but the internal diaphragm is probably shot I...

Sorry guys I'm still at the same point I didn't find time to remove the pump yet, I only took time to put some WD40 on the pump bolts as a precaution I'm going to take it out this afternoon! Great! Thanks for the info! :) Wonderful! In addition it's quite affordable! Good point! I'll...
