I will definitely keep this in mind. Getting a quote for shipping so will see how that goes, otherwise Ill have to ask the seller about how we could get them to Wichita.

Im trying to work out details to get a set of 4 265/70 tires with 17" wheels to Denver from Oklahoma City. Anyone making that trip any time soon and have room? Here's the other classified here on ih8mud for reference.

I would take these from you but Im in Denver. Any road trips planned!?

Yes, yes it does, its a minor detail. I can flip that for free but the rust spots that it has will cost. So there is some wiggle room with the price

Hey everyone, Im selling my '73 40. I bought it about 6 months ago just after moving back to the states. I saw it on a small car lot in upstate SC, got excited and bought it... as my only car. I had a work vehicle so there wasn't too much demand that I have another car. I did some work (I...

I agree, there is no other place the oil can come from except the transfer case. I haven't installed my hose yet. I check my levels about every other week and it seems as though for some reason that it isn't leaking anymore? I don't know, but I don't have oil gushing out like I did before I...

Im interested in the brake booster if you know it doesn't leak. Also the windshield latches that bolt on the hood if they're not locked up. Ill send you a PM as well.

@Coolerman Yes, Im with you, that wire is black with a yellow stripe. I disconnected that wire from the ballast resistor and connected directly to the the coil+. You are saying it isn't needed but if it is connected to the coil then its not really a big deal right? The thing Im getting hung...

I peeled back the tape and confirmed the colors. The black/yellow came from the ballast resistor and I hooked it straight to the coil +. I took it off this morning and hooked the black/white up thinking I had it wrong, and it wouldn't turn over. I switched it back and it cranked up. I let it...

Thanks for your reply, I was thinking my 6/'73 model was still a model year '73 and not '74? The '73 schematics don't have the bw wire so thats why I was getting thrown off. Do I fall under the '74 model year? '72/'73 Schematic...

I was also told to mark the crank pulley when I got it timed but I couldn't really find a good stationary place to mark off of for reference. Where is yours marked?

I cant find it in the diagrams I have. I've got a 6/73 40 and I just put in a pertronix ignition and coil. On the old coil + was the wire from the ballast resistor, and a black/white wire that I cant figure out. On the - was the black wire from the dizzy. I bypassed the resistor as...

So I removed the inspection cover and there it was. It was pretty dirty so I cleaned it up and dotted it with a white marker. Thanks guys. She runs good now and I even got it up to 50mph for the first time and ran smooth! Now just a little fine tuning on the carb. and I think Ill be good to go.

Ah! It hadn't even crossed my mind to remove the cover and clean the bb and TDC mark. They very well could be too dirty to see as a PO removed the window cover and didn't put it back.

OK. Thanks. I guess I need to retard it a bit by turning back the dizzy? Because I havent seen the BB or the TDC line by advancing it via the light.
