    Fly Wheel Inspection Cover - does it have a gasket?

    PO removed and lost the fly wheel inspection cover for a '72 with a 3 speed. So I found one and it's on it's way to me. Judging by the SOR diagram below, it would appear that it DOES NOT need a gasket? Is that a safe assumption? Thanks.

    So I was cutting out a bit of the inside rocker panel area today in hopes of finalizing the attachment of my 3/4 tub to my 74 Cowl an chassis, when a fire erupted on top of the fuse block. I tried to smother it with a shirt but had to hit with the dry extinguisher. Never a dull moment in 40...

    For Sale  Wheels

    I got two extra sets of wheels with my project forty. So I'm selling the bigger ones. I put a tape measure on them and taped out at 16" diameter and 11" wide. So I assume that's their size but I could be wrong. Not too well versed in tires sizes. I have no idea what they are actually worth. They...
