Scaling back, enjoying time with Grandies and frequenting the occasional Car Show. I love parking next to the Ferrari's and getting more interest in my 40 series!

Yeah, wires are small. I think in the 18-16 range

End of another season…

One issue without changing the firewall is that the booster plus longer MC gets pushed forward and can interfere with the carb. On my 69, I used that JTOutfitter adapter and that dual master with no booster, and even that hit the choke breaker...

A few more fun ones from Japan

As of today, dealers that have at least one on the shelf.

Let me know if you need more or different measurements.

Hi all, I am attempting to design a new tool for aligning the knuckles. The goal is to make something that is a lot cheaper and is more fool proof. Here is a video running through the basic idea. I would love some feedback.

good to know. I think the headliner is one of those things that im going to just leave alone for as long as humanly possible haha

I did a terrible job getting pictures during SAS10 in Colorado last month... need to go through the wife's camera roll. I think I was only taking pictures when she was driving! I did have an issue with my high pressure power steering hose...

Hi All, Thought you’d appreciate what I picked up yesterday. Previous owners father ran into transfer case issues in the 80s (presumably between 85 and 86 as that was the last registration). He parked it in his garage in Las Vegas… and there it...

Not many updates, just driving it and using it as intended. But yesterday I did finish one last piece of my tire carrier. Built the bracket to mount my hi-lift jack (knockoff brand of course). The Allen head bolt locates the base of the jack...

If you're out in Washington State and near Seattle, it'd be a shame to miss out on the Olympic Peninsula and Olympic National Park. It such a gorgeous and diverse area. Plus you can stop in Forks and see things about sparkly vampires.

Rotella Diesel Oil is what I run in my Datsun, 1FZFE and know a Land Cruiser shop that recommends it too. The Zinc is lower than the race oil (about half the ppm), but too much zinc and you can also damage what's left of you catalytic...

Or just drop a bottle of zddp in with oil change.

The trip back home to Wilmington was a success! Had a lot of fun with family and of course, had to get back to accelerating the rust just like in high school. Sweet little rainbow Used the onboard air to air up from 20psi to 45psi. Right...

Finished welding the rest of my exhaust out the back. For the first time in 4 years, I don't get a slight (or heavy) smell of burnt diesel! So enjoyable. Pretty neat little combo. Gave it some starting fluid, fresh gas, cleaned the points, and...

On Monday the turbo adapter I had been waiting on for the past 3 weeks to arrive loctated from a store only 2 hours away from me, was officially canceled. Ordered a Benzforce T3-T25 adapter and it showed up on Wednesday... Made some intake piping...

Ice cream truck still delivering to neighborhood. This tree is a metaphor for “whatever it takes.” 😉

After putting on some hard miles on the 45 at SAS this year, I realized I rattled one of my hood pins loose. I took the remaining pin out and there was no evidence of Lock Tite on it, so definitely user error on my part. @SMG promptly hooked me...

fixed, Kotter pin placed back in, everything back in place until I get the kit. Got a new steering wheel to celebrate not dying. Might have been irresponsible with the funds tho.

@ceylonfj40nut : do you know the part number of the photo posted above? Only number on the connector of a new pump bracket I can find is E14, not the usual 5 digit number. Other options: rob a connector from a used fuel pump bracket or buy a new...

I lost a drag link connection a few years ago. I was on the south side of Montgomery, AL (not the best part of town) and had just pulled away from a light, made a slow left turn and once straightened out the steering went loose. I was able to...

Bingo. When you touch every part of the truck you know what's wrong and usually how to fix it. I agree with @toy_tek, that end plug is missing the cotter pin and worked itself out via driving. If those are 555 rod ends, they come tightened...
