If a bushing was in it...you will be able to work around this.
Trying to ream out the pilot hole, with the crank installed in the engine....and the engine in the car, wound be nuts.
Someone can modify the major dia of the bushing, to fir the existing hole.
You just need to determine the the...
I've heard that you can bend the float down, as a possible improvement.
Aftermarket sending units, usually are "cheap China ****".
You may find a place that sells better China ****, but who's got the time to "F" with that .
Worse (for me ) was the thin-*** locking rings, that they send with...
I have a 66 361, never experienced this issue on this engine.
BUT, your symptoms match an issue with another, similarly constructed, engine's fuel supply. This may, or may-not help...
The rod that drives the fuel pump had worn. It was actually .110" shorter than the new one purchased/replaced...
what are you looking for?
Every restoration is money spent to make YOU happy. You can never recover the money spent on a restoration....it's a "labor of love".
Perhaps if the goal was to create a trailer-queen, with all numbers matching and assembled per factory specs...I might feel differently...
"Usable" is a loose term.
I have a couple sets for a 66/67...good enough to sit on, but I've always considered them as solid cores.
There must be someone closer to you, than Massachusetts. If not....
I got it...and agree. As God created it, or as close to that as you can re-create it. Just offering a cheap way to get it rolling again. I have a lot of the part on hand.
The 361's only came out as a "2bbl" in the Coronet....and was a disappointment for power, and had to change that (it...
A thought:
I have a 318 paired to a 727......sitting here, doing nothing.....still sitting on the "K" member.
I pulled it out of a 66 Coronet 440 ( 4 door grocery-getter, with bad rear body rot), the drive train was good.
It's been on a trailer, under a tarp.....waiting to live again.
It was...
There is a difference between the two years, but it's really about construction....something screwed in on a 67, that is spot-welded on a 66 (could be the other was around).
Both will work well......that's the important thing.
I think that the question is more about the model, as side trim holes...
Sorry guys; Not a B body question
My current project is a 62 D100. Trying to get info on what modern-day steering wheel can be used.
The original wheel must be 18" or more and I got to get it off my stomach ( I lost a few pounds, but still not enough).
I converted to power steering, so a...
I have a stack of receipts on the engine rebuild here somewhere...certainly the pistons are in there
I didn't write down the casting numbers, I spent time on the body, getting the correct color, the correct upholstery.
The Edelbrock has a dual bolting pattern and bolts right on. What's your...
Hi all;
And thanks for the input.
I can see that I didn't provide enough info.
I bought this car in pieces, as the previous owner was ready to put a 440 in it, and suddenly passed away. I never heard the engine run before the tear down.
It's a factory 4 speed car. The engine is completely...
My 66 Coronet 500 has been completed for 4 years now.
Originally born with a 2bbl and single exhaust, I changed out the cam with something for a 4bbl and added dual exhaust.
The car runs well...that is to say that it starts up nice and has enough power to get up my hill...with the Edelbrock...
I'd try to resolve the headlight issue first.
Aside from the headlight switch and "fusible link" ...there should be nothing to interfere with front headlights .
Smells like that switch, from here...
Pretty much all the replacement parts that you get for our "classic American cars" are all...
I've used "Mother's"...not bad, but those little pits that emerge...
Tell us about "the Pink Stuff". It's a new one for me.
I assume the 1st one is a paste..?
Thank you all
I've contacted CPP to buy whatever it takes to make this work.
The tech that I spoke to, confirmed that Saginaw style pumps were never on a 6 cyl ( I guess this assumes that he really knew what he was talking about)
What I'm sure of is: The bracket will be specific to the slant...
