Mr. Green

He dropped it yesterday with a nice list of upgrades and service items I spent the day yesterday pulling a 3.70 out of a 60 axle I bought for this purpose a few months ago. Drums were hopelessly frozen so I had to cut the drums off. Not fun...

Made brake lines for the first time. Hopefully they survive the leak test.

Just clip to pin in door hinge so it’s removable if concerned.

It's surprising how effective the low tech cooling is. Tell her to open her flaps on the highway at 60mph, things might get a bit hairy, but hey you'll cool down fast.

Today's progress included repairing the hacked up wheel well, while shifting the rear axle back (Jeremiah's guys take material from the rear and add it to the front of the opening to maintain the OEM shape and provide a bit more driveshaft length...

I’ve always found the buddy system is better than a pressure bleeder. Doing it solo sucks but a 2x4 or correct length stub from seat to pedal after pumping it up works as a “temp” buddy also. Just have a lot of laps to do! Also, a shortcut I’ve...

My neighbor and his son came over and helped me get the roll bar installed. Over the weekend I got the rear harness put back in. First time it’s had rear marker lights since the PO covered the rear corners with sheet metal. I also got the rear...

Day long soak in Evapo Rust or a similar product.

20 some odd years ago while being a youngster living in Colorado I met my wife in a night out. A Few weeks later we were hanging at a Chris LeDoux show in Pueblo, a handful of my buddies were tossing 16oz Coors cups across the crowd making it...

I like this approach because it keeps the old chrome strut bodies.

Well there you go added a couple springs and issue resolved! Guess since I'm running the cable to linkage the linkage needs a way to be pulled back otherwise the mighty 2F just sucks the butterfly valves open. :p Thanks for the reality check...

Here's a picture of the bellcrank in place (came a little bent) before restoration and one of it not installed and painted. It looks like there is a place a spring could go, I'll give that a try as well as some carb cleaner to try and free things up.

Gotta be the spelling! Sorry couldn’t help it I will reread. Linkage or cable? How do you know it’s returning to idle position? I would mark it and recheck with a helper to confirm.

In a pinch you could buy a flex a lite fan and adapter. Can make really short without a shroud and it moves mountains of air. That was my old setup.

So electric fan, does it have mechanical fan too or just electric? Likely you have air in it yet too not burped out… unsure if you got thermostat installed correctly OEM or aftermarket but gasket can be misleading.
