Got the new tires mounted, went with 215/75r14 vercelli classic 787. $73 each from Walmart, 2 day delivery. I couldn't find any 225 in a 14 inch wheel that wasn't stupid expensive. These are going to be fine for the back and forth driving I do. I spent a few hours grinding and sanding rust from...

Similar situation with my car, it runs great, starts right up on the first try, but it has an obscure stock replacement Holley carb on it. Leaking fuel from accelerator pump and somewhere else. I'm not going to drive it until I can rebuild it, but I can't find any kits that match. LIST 4749-3...

There is a regular train service that runs between here and the bay area. That may be an option, more affordable than an Uber or Lyft.

Mr. Larson, I live in a suburb of Sacramento, about 75 minutes from Vallejo. I myself just bought a 68 new Yorker, but it's in my shop currently being worked on. It's covered parking spot next to my bedroom window is unoccupied for the next few weeks. Maybe I could be of help for you.

What tires are you guys running on the stock 14" steelies? I ordered a set of 5 with 1/2" white wall stripes but I guess I didn't pay attention to the size. They are 205/75 r 14. They look tiny compared to what came on the car. About 2 inch difference in height. I read stock size is closer to...

Wow your's is beautiful, that color combination is ideal. Not sure exactly what mine might turn out to be, but it's got to be blue somewhere, keeping the cars original personality.

I have heard the ammeter can be a problem. If I do the mod, will I still have a functional gauge or does it eliminate that entirely?

Maybe I have been watching to much Uncle Tony's garage but I am leaning towards keeping the points ignition. I want to stick with the route where parts are most commonly available at any parts store. Does anyone have any feedback on whether or not I'd find parts easier if I keep it stock or...

It's the 440 , the Odometer reads 40k. As far as I can tell from the records I have, it has not rolled over to a hundred yet. Underbelly is pretty gooey, so lots of new seals and gaskets are in order. First step is going through the entire brake system with all new everything. Axle seals are...

Just recently acquired this really clean and original 1968 New Yorker. Northern California car it's entire life, I have found a bunch of original papers with the car. It's had a history of two families before me. It was driven until 2014 then It sat on non-op. Must have been under a tarp for...
