I see you also belong to the stexag club of civil disobedience with regard to vehicle licensing. Sticking it to the man. ;) I was rocking a '19 until a few months ago while the 40 was under the knife. On topic - if you think of it - post up some pics of the AC unit and under the hood. I'd...

CP90 here. Just found saw this thread. Look forward to updates.

I got my top out the other day and had dreams of putting a headliner in. I studied it a while and decided to wave off and just do my best at re-attaching it where it was sagging and loose. So I used a bunch of Super 77 and got most of it stuck. I think it's already starting to let go again -...

You did that headliner install Bloomer? When can I drop mine off??

Thank you very much. I haven't measured but I'd guess it's currently closer to 3/4" right now. I will probably leave it alone. I don't think I'll haul much more up there than a swag tent in it's bag and another soft bag or two with clothes/bulk. However, I made the decking out of some teak...

If you don't mind sharing... about how much clearance do you recommend between your roof rack and top? I assembled my Gamiviti clamps last night and was trial fitting it all while the top is still sitting on the shop floor. Before I did final tightening I wanted to inquire what sort of...

That looks awesome, makes waiting tough, but @lcwizard has me on the list! Love your shop; I tinker with mostly 2 bangers in mine... but I had a 460LP for a while that I got from a neighbor. I farmed his place after he quit, but for years he kept the headlands clean with that 460.

Thank you. Replied to pm.

I wanted to take the time to provide the resolution of my problem for anyone who may encounter the same. I'm quoting Pighead here for correctly pointing out that I was hearing hoofbeats and assuming giraffes. I could not get fuel in the bowl even though the needle was was not stuck. As I...

I want it!!

Yes, I had it apart yesterday and again this morning. It has an all metal needle valve with a spring and a plunger in it. When I put the needle in and blow through it I can blow past the needle, but when I put the spring and plunger inside the needle and then the float... no way, in ANY...

Mechanical. I just put the carb back on and took some vice grips and pinched the return line fully closed. I started and ran the engine on a water bottle spraying fuel into the top of the carb. There is STILL no fuel in the bowl. I am puzzled; all new needle valve assembly but it still acts...

Thank you so much for the advice. This last sentence tells me what I think I need to know. My carb is recently rebuilt and it has a metal needle. I have tapped, beat, and otherwise done every trick I know to free a stuck needle; but the needle isn't stuck. That's when I started...

No sir. I'm pumping through the delivery line. However, the return line banjo bolt/check valve is not providing the designed resistance; so I am just circulating gas through the return and the fuel pressure is not overcoming the needle plunger spring to put fuel into the bowl. At least this...

I have such carb with this bolt that I am installing on my '78 (replacing Holley that was there when I bought it). I'm pumping fuel but not filling the bowl. I pulled that banjo bolt and it does have a restrictor device in there, but I can blow through with no resistance. I am presuming the...
