I just got finished replacing my dashpad, so I went through this. When I went back in to put the gauges panel back in place, I had to put the radio side toward the dash first, that would allow me enough wiggle room from the door side to get my hand in there and attach the speedo cable, which has...

It takes a little work but nothing too tricky. I had one bad bushing that caused a clunk when I turned one direction. I replaced the front with the poly ones and greaseable shackles amd it made a nice difference. I've got the rears but I have not got to them yet. It helps to use the bottle jack...

Thanks, I look for the spot on the air cleaner. That is probably the missing link to having this set up correctly. I am excited to have some choke now!

Ok, I just got a new choke cable to replace the rusted out rolled up one in the corner of my engine compartment and I was wondering if there is a best way to route this over and around to the engine side of the carb. It looks like it fits naturally along the firewall, underneath the support, and...

I wonder what would the resulting performance would be if an older slave cylinder was used on an 86? The engine in mine was replaced with a used 2f but still using my tranny.

I just replaced my fuel pump after showing similar symptoms. But I also checked to see if it was leaking and did notice it was wet with fuel on the bottom of the pump. I also noticed my fuel filter was not full of fuel and was only up to about the one third mark. I did not know how old the...

What model/size speaker are you putting in?

Mark, I'd like to see your 62 when you are finished with the lift and tires, I will soon be thinking about the same thing. I'd like to see how you like the ride and look and also what you thought of Edwin's lift kit combination and work. -Stan

There was fuel slightly dripping out of mine, mostly just "weeping". Other symptoms were it would stall at a stop sign, but then it would warm up and seem all right. Or it would run like s**t , like a vacuum hose was off., but I checked all that. So I decided to go ahead a replace the pump, I...
