In my experience with these headers, they fit perfect on my 400 stroker but on the 440, the driver side header will rub on the driver side torsion bar and 1 or 2 tubes have to be dimpled to give a little space. Not a lot, but some. And that sucks when you spend that extra money for the ceramic...
The lady on the left in the picture above is the same little girl from my 1st post, the original owner's daughter. The lady in the middle is the original owner's wife, who was kind enough to share her memories and the old paperwork. The gentleman on the right is the original owner's brother in...
Thanks! Shipper is coming to get them both next week and haul them to Tennessee so I probably won't be enjoying it til next Spring. But I can promise this, in spite of how much I love it, I WILL be enjoying a break from it. That was a lot of work. Pile packing up an entire household on top of...
You don't get a nose dive braking situation from that?
Well yeah it'd be a 3/8 24 inv flare T fitting to replace that valve fitting correct?
It's the valve itself on the new fitting that is "leaking". I say "leaking" because it's actually POURING brake fluid out around itself.
I'm looking for one of the puppies. I bought a new one from Mancini and it leaks. I'd be happy to buy that old one that fell behind your toolbox a couple years back... Go look, it's still there.........
Yeah that one. Just blow it off and stick it in an envelope and send it. Let me know how...
I found my priming tool and a buddy came over to buy my air compressor so I enlisted him for an hour and the car fired right up. Starts up and runs fine. I've got to get these brakes fixed so I can see how it acts under load. A few things to check and recheck.
I fixed the dipstick tube leak...
Looking like a snow plow with that weight on it. Will have to raise it up tomorrow.
Had 2 people stop in today trying to buy it and I live on a cul de sac. Guess I better get used to that and just keep the door closed :D
Hey anybody got a metering valve you wanna sell?
Well shoot. Still have a brake leak.
And it sucks because it's a problem I created. When I ordered new brake lines I didn't realize there are 2 different factory sets for this car with front disc rear drum. I had the set that only needed a prop valve but ordered the set that needed a prop...
Got the battery in, belt on, rad filled, 5 quarts in the trans, master cylinder bled, and started bleeding brakes with the help of a neighbor.
The battery and belt fit perfect, no issue. Everything else though... lol
Filled the cooling system and the water pump is dripping. The pump I bought...
Pulley showed up this evening so I got that installed along with the cooling system. We're just a belt, a battery, some fluids, a prime, and some brake bleeding away from starting it up.
Woah! You really have some great cars. Really nice collection!
I had been thinking of getting some floormats to maybe de-ugly the bare floor but didn't even think to use these until I was packing the garage up. I took these out of my 17 Sport when i bought it and put those plastic floor mats...
Still waiting on the pulley that was supposed to be here a week ago.
I got the new u-joints in the driveshaft. Actually I took it to my buddy's shop and paid him to beat on those things. He quickly gave the job to Cliff and Cliff proceeded to bitch about it the whole time saying "he should have...
I appreciate the kind responses. When I have a stupid day like I did today, it really helps.
At this point I've just been buttoning up stuff as I remember or come across it while I wait on the pulley. Kinda all over the place. Doublechecking and so on. I added oil, power steering, and gas. No...
