Try spinning the cable with the drill now. If you can get some needle, conclude the speedo pinion gear is failing somehow. I don't expect you to get a needle right now though.

I've got about 4 complete, runnable mid 1960s 2 bbl carbs, 2 Carter BBDs, two Stromberg WC3s, and they all are afflicted to varying degrees from warped air horns. That's what compelled me to get a 4 bbl carb. No matter who I got these old, rebuilt and ****** over old ones from, the air horns...

Recently read a page on all the Consumerama "fix-n-de-can" **** which actually enriches mechanics and machine shops, sometimes in short order. I can dig the H2O mist treatment, properly administered, but in your case, I think you've indeed done all the good you can from these rites. Time to...

Looks like you're WELL tooled bro! Carry on and have a Fosters for breakfast.

Can you get your hands on a second torque wrench, as a sanity check? Sometimes old torque wrenches won't "click" at a relatively low torque setting. when in doubt, I use one with a simple bar and indicator needle, which is less prone to err with age or wear. 30 ft*# isn't huge torque for good...

Don't belittle yourself. Paint & body SELLS CARS, while electrical keeps customers happy w what they bought. I need to pick your brain a bit on the matter of a bent hood. Nasty crease near the front edge, causing the sheet metal to bend down near 90 degrees on the driver side. UGLY, though...

I actually put a Kenwood 6x9 triax into the factory spot in the back and drive it and another, in the trunk in a cabinet w a modest little 100 W Pioneer amp. This gets signal from a little under dash cassette player up front, w a Bluetooth cassette adapter in it. This stuff sounds a lot like...

Those 6 inch wide rims? I ask, because I'm considering 235 70s or 75s for my '70 Rally Rims.....We really NEED the extra width and pneumatic depth running on these rubble streets down here.

Miller made some cool specialty tools, for sure! Soooo right! The gauge and sender combo in Gertrude right now still reads close enough to be useful. When full, the gauge pegs to the far right, burying the needle. Half volume shows about 5/8 full on the gauge. "E" means, "get gas NOW, as...

If you seek a variable resistor of the same range, get a fuel sender, wire it to this gauge, and run the float up and down. The resistances will be the same as your temp gauge, so you should see the needle deflect over the same values. After all, those fuel senders were just crude pots. 4...

THAT'S THE STUFF! Pity it wasn't rodent-proof, but few things in this Kosmos are.... Yah, pop it off, dip it if you have a good "magic potion" then bolt back on and run it! Wish I could buy some REAL petrol, but Political Rectumtood down here dicktates otherwise....

I had one of those...DOUBLE COATED IN FACT! The former owner had allowed the original tank to rust out through the top, and then had the tank coated inside and out with some plastic crap. That stuff did OK w petrol, but failed to stop rats. The rats gnawed through that stuff, then nested in...

Try Berryman's B-12 Chemtool, if you can get the stuff. They used to make a fuel additive variety too. I once immersed an old Autolite 21XX which ran my 351C in a B-12 dip, and it helped enormously. Mind you, folks were buying GOOD gasoline Waybackthen, with moonshine still a hot topic of...

I was strongly considering the JEGS unit, but am going to just buy an Edelbrock pump instead. I'm happy with my fuel plumbing, at the front end anyway. The filler tube popped loose today, which could have been VERY BAD, had not a couple drivers in traffic not pointed it out promptly. I saw...

The "law" of supply and demand isn't a physical law, but merely the way market minds work. The fact is, the Ruling Pigs want most of the populace on their feet, and nothing more mobile. Wipe your arse with "The Wealth of Nations." What REALLY motivates the Power Pigs runs lower than mere...

Hey! Thanks big BIG for this datum! I've been looking for a decent whitewall since Hankook Optimos have been pulled from production. Price is tolerably close to right also. Gee, I gotta thank Pres. Eraserhead for making America Great Again! We can afford CHINESE WHITEWALLS AT WALMART!

My mom, now in her 89th yr, echos such sentiments. Ah, I gotta get some more Soylent Green for the kids.....

Print it, and SAVE THE SOFTCOPY REDUNDANTLY! The Pigs here are grabbing every loose bit they can on the Net, and hiring rotten copyright shysters to legitimate their grabs, even on material that had formerly been released to the public. I thank the Almighty and St. Isidore (Patron of the...

Uh huh. Steel still would be better than PTFE lined hose, but at least you got your rod running again, and THAT's the Main Thing! No doubt. Modern Yuppies and hipsters like cooperative owned super-dooper markets like Costco here, but THEIR petrol was the WORST I ever gave Gertrude. Walmart...

Having a University level machine shop staffed by plenty septuagenarian "machinists" helps. I suspect grad students did a fair bit of the actual labor, if they knew what was good for them. Direct injection was first developed to make piston driven aeroplane engines run at high altitudes where...
