Did you resolve this issue? Just curious.

If you have a MIG welder and the fabrication skills, the broken bracket could easily be repaired.

FWIW When it comes to rusty bolts I've always had best results by using a good torch that will heat the fastener to glowing red, then let cool down a bit, spray with PB blaster or even WD-40 etc. then twist the it out. The expansion that takes place when heating of the fastener breaks the rust bond.

I have two Pertronix 1381A units in service, and purchased Pertonix 40011 coils to go with each. Included with the coils should be a sheet of instructions. On the back of this sheet it recommends using no resistor with the 8 Cylinder application. I wanted to keep the stock look so I removed...

I'm familiar with casting flash. If my eyes aren't deceiving me there is a crack just to the left of the damaged piston in his second image. To me it looks like a crack right where the casting flash is. Look very carefully and tell me what you think.

Besides what has already been mentioned, in the second image to the left it appears that the block is cracked. That would concern me.

Looks like the carb bowl vent. It more than likely went to some sort of charcoal canister.

My '70 did.

He must have had quite the (Car) honey hole. At least he's letting them go so someone else can enjoy them.

Some people don't sell because they enjoy having something that other people want but can't have.

I have no data to support my opinion but it seems to me the MT S/T's are a bit softer in compound than the BFG's.

Through the years I've had several sets of the BFG T/A's and they were pretty good tires, but then they jumped up in price significantly. That's when I looked into the Mickey Thomson S/T's and found them to have a higher speed rating, for less money so that's why I went with them. I liked the...
