    Battery charger recomendations.

    My 35 year old Shauer battery charger and boost starter finally stopped working. Asking for recommendations from others here. I am not looking for a battery tender or maintainer. Looking for a battery charger with a meter and jump start capability. Thanks.

    Did BFG ?

    I would replace them. Way past their lifespan. BFG's do not do well when they are old like that. I just had one blow out on me a couple of months ago. I was on a road and just got underway when the traffic light turned green. Maybe only doing 20 mph and I feel the left front of my 68...

    Exhaust manifold paint / anti-seize

    I used Slip Plate graphite spray lube as someone here already mentioned. Never had a clogging issue. Before I use any spray paint , I sit the can in some warm water for about 10 minutes. This atomizes the paint. Spray comes out really good. I always turn the can upside down when I am done...

    440 timing and pinging

    I agree with backing down your initial timing. I would even back it down to 5 degrees BTDC, see if you have pinging; if no pinging, keep going up on your initial till you hear the pinging. Someone mentioned earlier you might need to use different advance springs in the distributer.

    Raw fenders what to prime it with?

    That Omni is a good product. Been using it for a few years. Very happy with the results. To add their 2K primer is very good.

    Cross match piant

    Yes' I have had paint supply stores use the camera to come up with a match. Depending on the color I can be very accurate, metallic colors are usually around an 85 percent match. Camera matching for example, white is nearly a 100 percent match. It's a numerical grading. 1 being the best and...

    Quarter panel to trunk gutter patches. Are they available?

    Are you looking for just the curved piece? If so, just that part is not reproduced. Just get the trunk gutter section pictured and just use what you need. Keep the rest just in case you have to repair other areas. I hope I answered your question.
