My phone rang today and it was a strange number I didn't know. Many times I don't answer those calls but this time I did. It was the guy in Arizona that my 64 came from. Jeff bought it from him and he resold it to me. Nice fella, told me a little about the history, It was originally sold in New...

HiJackers work. LOL

I will see what my extra parts look like. It will be a week before I can get to them though.

I may be able to help. I do see some pieces on E bay but they are pretty pitted.

That's good news about a decent appraiser. You have an ad placed and that's good. Hopefully someone can come up with some lights for you. I haven't had mine apart so I'm not familiar with the pieces involved. (I just answered my own question by looking at my photos) Are your lenses ok? It looks...

Probably more dependable than the 6AL or anything newer.

With all this talk about tail lights not bright enough, I don't think I have an issue. I need to take some photos of the tail lights only though.

The old analog. If it works it does have some value.

Still have mine from my 273 build. Also a big micrometer set for cranks. A 8" long digital caliper for pushrods. Cherry picker and geared head engine stand. Valve spring compressor. Porting kit (I think) and the list goes on and on.

A little play here, a little play there and the gap between the throw out bearing and pressure plate fingers all ads up to the free play at the top of the pedal stroke. Ever wonder why some holes in the ends of the rods are oval shaped? All that play ads up.

That sounds better. Just think, 1 oz. out of balance exerts a force of 8# on the heavy side of the tire. Oftentimes, breaking it down and spinning it 180° and rebalancing can help. I used to spin just the wheels up to see how bad they were. Often times 2+ oz. out of balance all by themselves.

I was wondering if you found a different power source. More current through the bulkhead on these old cars is electrical suicide.

Welcome. Post up some pics when you get a chance. Loess Hills are beautiful down your way. (My In laws live just west of Sioux City)

Clean it good with a wire brush and solder it. Get some good solder for plumbing. Use flux.

I wonder if I have a photo or vid of just the tail lights? The turn signals are bright. The fronts are with new lenses. The rears are the original lights from 64.

Or driving down the interstate while reading a book.

$`100 to a Chevy guy.

Or "I knew a girl like that once"

Love my laptop with a full sized keyboard and a mouse.
