It’s been almost a year since it was installed so I thought I’d start a separate thread as to how this radical change (upgrade?) is going. The good: Starts every frogging time Runs a little smoother and cooler Gas mileage about the same. No more electronic lean burn ignition A lot of things...

This is one of those “meaning to do” sniglet items for my 78 NYB that I finally got around to doing. Readers of my main thread will remember my repair of the wiper system early on. But one thing that I’ve been meaning to do was a more permanent repair to the drivers side wiper arm. The small...

Anyone know about using freon with newer synthetic compressor oil? I’ve heard using R134 in older systems with freon need to be flushed to use synthetic oil. But I’ve never heard the reverse. I want to use R12 because the expansion valve, evaporator and condenser are all sized for R12. My...

Mystery question of the day… Recently, I had put in 8 gallons of gas in two parts while installing and setting up my Holley Sniper on my 1978 NYB. Tank was bone dry due to new in-tank pump and sender install. Replacement sender was a match for original as to float movement, location and...

Having trouble locating a new or very good user harmonic damper for my 78 440. It has a cast crank and the part number that I found for it was 3839482…. NLA. Will the newer fluid filled dampers work the same? Does anyone have experience with them in this or a similar application. I remember...

Last December 30th marked the fifth year of my NYB adventure. Looking back on my original thread, I’m humbled by all the help received from fellow members. I also realized, how much we’ve done and learned in that time. So… I’ve been mentioning, on my other main thread, that I would replace the...

Rear tailgate letters missing the “s”. Either just the s or all. Please PM me if you have it. Thanks.

Rear lower passenger tail light was out... and the turn signal was always turning off the radio... same circuit. as I loosened the screws.... I heard water.... then I saw water... a lot of water Bulb was a bit worse for the swimming and actually had water in it. But the socket was fine...

Hardly any fuselage models and no formals today. Here’s the haul for today boys. Lots of nice slabs and earlier cars worth noting. first up is a really nice ‘63 300

Now that the top is on, it’s finally time to do the bodywork and repaint. Came to this decision for a couple of reasons. When I did the big rehab a year and a half ago I knew I would be here. And now, with the new top on, and the interior sorted.... the rest of the car looks a little rough...

Preparing for the new top has been a slow burn. Had hoped it would have been done by now. parts ready to go: correct cologne grain vinyl for top 5 yards. New rear window plug and glass from a 75 imperial. Rear glass has defrost and I got the switch. Will probably have to upgrade the...

Since completing the major service in February of last year, I always thought the top hose I had the boys put in looked to be too close to the idle/tension wheel. The hose had a few cut marks, a cut where the pulley got into it and evidence of “shortening”. Well I was right... just installed a...

The passenger side front window had been slow of late. The other day I went to put it down and all it did was budge. Luckily it budged back up before the motor gave up the ghost. so I spent this Saturday doing.... But first... I’d gotten a report from an admirer that the brake lights were...

See other two posts for more info. Sorry... I got a bit of a cold yesterday and my WiFi quit while posting. Thought I only put up the first one. Wish I knew how to delete the damn thing.

Took the Nimitz in for some work on the rear brakes (been banging on application figured the adjuster was out of sorts). Also I’ve been noticing some excess slop in the steering and some uneven tire wear. So.... Up on the alignment rack/lift she goes... Sure enough... adjuster cable is...

is this right????

Because I am experiencing low voltage issues when I’m driving at night with the lights, A/C on I’m thinking of going to a 90 amp unit. Horn is weak at these times and, at a traffic light at night, I sometimes get the low amp light on if I’m there for a while. Call me lazy.... but I do get why...

My weather strip for the sunroof is failing.... and just in time for a new top. Those following along on my other thread already know I bought the rear window plug from an ‘75 Imperial being parted out in Wisconsin some months ago. Here’s the top of the seal. It extends to the bottom of the...
