Gang,
My father told me that the A-12 cars rolled off the line as if I recall correctly 383 cars and the engines were pulled and replaced later at some third party. If I recall this happened on 2 days in 1969. Does anyone have information on that story? What they had in them, where they...
Thanks all! I wasn't trying to stir the pot on brands as I know everyone has their favorite, it just seems like finding good old 10w-40 high zinc isn't easy (and is pricey at over $10 per quart for a car that maybe sees 100 miles per year). Everything is 10w-30 or 20w50. Car only gets started...
Any suggestions on oil weight for an original 440 six pack 1969 Bee with 50k miles? I live in Iowa but the car never gets started when the weather is below 32 degrees F.
The attached picture from the service manual suggests a 10w40 or 20w40 if it doesn't get started much under 32 degrees F.
I...
Sorry for the delay. Funny you checked as I finally was able to check last night. I have a 3574618 and a 3673055. If you want more information just let me know.
Thanks!
Correct. The third picture, which is the side that faces the front of the car is my concern. I will clean it up with a wire brush and do more looking and maybe share some more pictures. I am not very knowledgeable in this area and just don't want to ignore something that could badly damage the...
I found some cancer on my ride. Any suggestions on how to handle the leaf spring mounting area? I assume the mounting plate needs cut out and a new one welded in and then drill 4 holes for the leaf spring eye mount?
I assume this is something custom and no parts available to use to weld in...
Thanks guys. The bulb I believe that is correct is a 1003 which is a single contact on the bottom. I will double check the ground. I can get my test light to come on using the center contact and a separate ground outside the car so I know the switch is working as I tilt it up and down. I also...
I am not new to FBBO, but this 1969 440 Six Pack Super Bee is. My dad bought his pride and joy less than 24 hours after returning from Vietnam. He even had two Super Bee tattoos. He owned it for 49 years until I lost my dad about 1 month ago. He was my best friend and is the reason I am who I...
Thanks all! I did clean the center contact and checked the voltage as I tilt and when tilted up (simulating open trunk) the built in mercury switch closes and I get 12.7V at the center contact but my bulb doesn't light! I have tried 3 bulbs (2 were new - part #1003). The weird thing is that my...
So my trunk light quit working. I tried a new bulb and that did not do the trick. I tested power and I have a full 12+Volts at the light. See my picture below. I am not exactly sure where the power feed is supposed to come in. For the center contact point, should this be hot?
Thanks!
