Are these bolt-in for a 63? I bought an aftermarket solid state that looks original, and actually works...

1955 Porsche 1200cc, massively upgraded to...1300cc. This was a "Pre-A" and probably valuable today. I also raced "Quarter Midgets" at Ramstein AB Germany 65-66: custom, small single seaters, with a bolt-in 2cyl, 2 stroke 4speed rear drive. Massive 1/8 mile oval. Protective kit: helmet. Maybe a...

ok! sorry for confusion. Good Luck.

Sorry, just what I read here: need to alter steering column? Lares is a bolt-in.

Borgeson is complex. You might consider the recently marketed Lares 2.5 fast box. I put it in my 63 Fury and like it so far. The return connection, and maybe the input threads are different from stock. Lares Catalog - Lares Corporation

in 1962, $100 for a pristine, cpacious 52? Plymouth 4dr, not a rip in the lovely upholstery. My roommate decided to drive it from C Springs to Tacoma to see a flame. Blond. Made it to Denver where the engine blew up. Sold it for $5. Our next auto adventure was a straight 8 53 Pontiac. not...

The aluminum part is fully in as far as I can tell.

Thanks to all! I loosened the button box and tried to diagnose the problem. So: With both cables attached, same problem. detach trans cable and all buttons and park work normally. Reverse: park disconnected, trans on;same problem. So, I think it is in the trans cable, or inside the...

thank again top all. I did rotate the crank 10-20deg, no change. Conversely, when rolling the car downhill with the D button part way in, a clicking noise is heard. It stops when N is partly engaged. I tried again to loosen the set screw, but broke off the Allen wrench end, which is now...

NO the buttons D2 1 move but the neutral button does not go all the way in when pushing down on the park lever, which cannot be moved past 1/2 down. I discovered the clamp bolt slightly loose, could not loosen the Allen screw and have given up for the day:(

Suddenly I canot move the lever down to park. It moves to half way, and partly moves the Neutral button, but cannot be forced past to the bottom. Thus I cannot start the motor. Help!!

Thanks. I had lubed it a while ago, but will again. Actually it was straining to lower the last bit, about 1' of ram travel.

i saw them at Ebbets Field 1955, and have never forgiven them for leaving....:(

The Buff crew were good, and lucky. Enough of the rudder remained to prevent yaw departure. Not so lucky was the Airbus crew and pax: just after 9/11 taking off from JFK, the entire rudder separated, and all perished. Similarly, when the wing vortices trapped the F-104 chase, and literally...

After finally installing the new ram to replace the leading one - ok, 62y old - and a replacement motor, i ran the top up and down twice. Holding the switch on to the final lowering position, I heard a snap. This is the result: Note the bent lower end of the shackle, indicating severe stress. I...
