I feel for you. You work hard to get something that you are very proud of and love to drive around and then some idiot wrecks it for you then displays a terrible attitude. He definitely needs to anti up for the repairs and he should be punished by the law. Our society simply lets people off too...

Good news. I trimmed the base gasket to create a port for vacuum and everything is good now. I have a strong vacuum at the pcv now. Thanks for the help.

That’s it minus the tag. Is it possible to flip it over and take a picture of the base.

Yes it’s a Carter. The only numbers on it are located on the float bowl which is 1779 and they don’t make sense. Hoping to start it up today and see how it works now. I am thinking to will resolve an ongoing issue I had with some condensation build up I saw on the oil dipstick.

That makes perfect sense. Not sure why mine has a solid base other than it’s probably not original. I have cut the gasket in the same shape and will reinstall. Thanks for the help.

Yes it is. I agree and was thinking of trying that. To me it looks like an incorrect base gasket. Thanks

Tried the carb cleaner. The tube is connected to the oblong shaped port. This then matches to the small hole on the base gasket but there is no corresponding opening on the manifold. Kind of stumped. I may just reassemble and try it again.

As a note the number I am referring to is found on the side of the float bowl. I cannot locate any other numbers or tags for reference.

I noticed that my PCV valve had no suction so I pulled the hose from the carb and found the port was completely blocked. I then removed the carb and cleaned the port out however during the inspection I cannot determine where the vacuum comes from. There is no port in the manifold that matches...

Just thinking about what you have done. If you have worn parts your mechanic should have let you know when he did the alignment. Perhaps you should take it somewhere else.

Yes. There is a special procedure to adjust the steering box. You don’t want to overtighten it because it will cause damage. Get the service manual and look for the procedure on how to do it.

Try rotating tires front to back to see if there is any difference. I have seen tires do some funny things over the years. This is a no cost test before you put anymore money into the car.

Take it to a rad repair shop maybe they can do something with it.

The speedo is a 65. The turn signals are part of the bezel on a 65 whereas the 66 it’s part of the actual speedo. This pic is from my 66

I have to give you credit. It can be challenging to do exhaust work even on a hoist. I can only imagine the difficulty you experience doing it on the ground. Kudos to you.

This is my idea for snow removal. A beach chair and beer in hand.

Our granddaughter was asked to draw a picture demonstrating a before and after result of the wars to commemorate Remembrance Day. This is the incompleted version of her thoughts. She has since added red poppies to finalize it. The drawing is on display at the local legion. I am glad the...

It’s been quite awhile since I did one of these but there are a couple of things you can check. If I remember correctly you can have a misalignment of the pump halves. There is some play in the bolt holes that allow for slight movement. When you take it apart take a close look to see if the...

No they have a successful business and aren’t hurting for money. Plus they have a strong tie to their deceased father who owned many of the toys. We tried to buy the Stealth but it was a no. They have a huge selection of toys and no time to play with them.

No it was too dark in there. They have two or three of them and they belonged to the father who passed away about seven years ago. I don’t think they have been driven for a long time.
