yes mine is the lever type, but it is firmly fixed in place - so perhaps the lock ring is the ticket... thanks!

ok cool, i'll see what I find... thank you

Anyone have a tutorial on how to replace the ignition lock cylinder thingy on the column on pops' 70 GTX? The old one is worn out / busted. I downloaded the service manual, but don't see anywhere in there that tells me how. I am guessing: Pull steering wheel remove blinker stuff pull column...

Thank you Turbine

just found one at Napa (rarely shop there) for $8! sweet!

Thank you!

Pop's has a 70 GTX 440, has started stalling weirdly, and we're wondering if it is a fuel filter issue - pops says he's not sure he's ever changed it in the 36yrs he's owned it. It is a metal canister looking thing with not just an in and out nipple, but a little extra one that seems to go back...

Thanks for this tutorial! Excellent... Where do you suggest we source the bearings/races etc? Who's the best place?

Where'd ya get this?

Yeah, no idea... been a minute. It's one of these ratty cars, unloved and unwanted - till now.

Well, big boy took it to work last night, 15 miles ea way... got home and she's clattering away again. Also it has developed a hard-to-start-when-hot issue as well. fun with old cars!

Yeah we did the hammer n chisel bit a couple weeks ago, need to do the valve seals too

Yeah - 318 was swapped in a long time ago by who knows... Car has sat largely unused for a good couple decades, valve seals are shot, burns and leaks oil, largely neglected. Gonna change the oil and keep an eye on it. It's a throwaway engine but we'll nurse it along till he's rich and famous...

Welp, we moped for a couple days, then fired it up tonight... sounded quieter, so I said - take it for a mild cruise. He came back and glory be - it's quiet like it used to be! Woo!

Yeah - me too. It sounded perfect, until it didn't. He came home and I heard it down the street.

Maybe add some STP or something?

We got all excited to have the 74 all running and driving well, and so the kid took off to a buddies, maybe 50 miles away. Well, anyway apparently the ol 318 was a couple quarts low (Dumb mistake I know) and now we've got some noticeable lifter rattle. DANG. Do we get away with a cam/lifter...

OOOOH I want one so bad! I had the Tonka Truck one as a kid, want a life-sized now. So cool.

I agree sir... thanks again for all your assistance

It was one of the issues I think but also the voltage regulator being toast was the main thing. Thanks again for all your help.
