May have been a water leak and he cut that out to see where it was coming from? Thats my only guess

I’m curiosa to what everyone is using for routing the wires over their headers. Also recommended wire sets for my small block? I’m looking to corral the wires and make it neat so if anyone has pics and tell me what kit they used I’d love to see it. I’ve purchased a few over the years and not really been happy with any of them.
Do I need to make my own wires to make it neat or are off the shelf ones working for anyone?
Thanks for any info

Glad you checked in Kenny, its been a long time! nice to hear all is well with you also

It’s amazjng how the sealer always travels further than the base isn’t it? LOL

Beautiful cars!
what a great group of people and cars we have here

I love wizards stuff, works great. Lucas has good one along with Barrett Jackson. They all basically work the same, some smell better than others. Adams polishes makes some great detail suppliers as well

Steve, about the best way I found to do the jambs is with the 3m ez edger machine/
you probably use it already, the one that just folds the edge of the tape over on itself. It works best with a transparent sealer, colored ones always seem to go in farther than the basecoat for some reason! The foam tape seems to leave a hard edge all the time no matter how you do it. Unless you consider taping it up so you can open and close the doors while spraying, but again this is going to leave darker edges around your doors unless you just avoid going in the jambs with the candy, Ive never had much luck painting them unless all together like your doing, and I was never totally happy with the edges in the jambs.
Spraying in California seems to be next to impossible at this point, and I feel your pain on the lack of support from jobbers, the big MSO shops have squeezed them so tight that even the local finishmaster stores are shutting down and consolidating locations.
Good luck with the job, Id love to see some pics as it progresses

At the time I redid my interior CarsInc were the only ones with the cloth option. I was very pleased with the quality and fit of them.
About double the cost of vinyl but It was in my car originally and I did like it.
I believe Legendary makes them now also, and Ive always heard good things about thier stuff

Hey Jim! You were the one person I was thinking of because I remember talking to you in Carlisle about your setup.
I am looking to do the lock up also, and was thinking the 3.55 range. I may leave the 3.08 in it for a while just to see how it feels, and I may run out of money! Lol

Looking at putting together a package for my car, probably going to be next year at this point, but who has put a 200 4/r into their car, and what company did you use?
Monster, Bow tie over drives, TCI? Any others I haven't seen yet?
Have plans In the works for a motor also, I want to do it all in one shot, and I'm kinda set on doing overdrive. Open to suggestions

I went with the Morris setup also, wish I wouldn't have added the upper belt holders when I did the headliner now!

Wow Mike that is quite a disappointment. Having to pull that all out again stinks, but I suppose it could be worse
-
I used some plastic "Christmas tree" push pins, found in any auto body supply place.
Drilled holes and pushed the pins in, hold very nice and look decent too
-
I used the Petronix when I first got my car, been on there about 12 years I think with no issues
-
I know that Legendary is making the covers now, When I redid my car the only one doing cloth was CarsInc.com
I am very happy with their covers

A friend of mine has a business where he rebuilds pinballs, he had several of these. I think he may even have just the back glass from one that was too far gone to repair.
Cool find Darren, should make a nice addition

One another car I broke off some toothpics and filled the hole with them, then threaded the screw into it
The plastic drywall anchor seems to be what people use most

Oh man Rob, when it rains it pours huh? Sorry to hear of Pats brother passing, tell her we are thinking of her.
Also glad the tree remained outside, we are now getting the winds and rain here that you had late last night
Still beats snow though

Here’s my setup
Edit: I forgot about the darn sideways pic thing on here. Sorry
-
I went with A pillar ones for my Monte. Easily visible and easily removed if you want to. I love the look of it

Barrel clips, most of the auto parts stores have them in the Help section
fuel pump outlet size?
in Engine Tech
Posted
I bought a fuel line from Edelbrock, part # 81233 It says it is designed to attach to a 3/8 NPT outlet on a fuel pump. I have a stock replacement on my small block, it is not a 3/8NPT, which I kind of knew. Trying to find an adapter but I have no idea the size on it. I brought the old fitting with me around and I can get 3/8 flared plumbing parts to screw into it, so what gives? The adapter that came with the new part does not thread in. Im trying to avoid putting a flared fitting and clamp on it. I also dont want to buy a new fuel pump, the higher flow ones have that 3/8 NPT.
I was just hoping to get an adapter from the fuel pump to a -6AN male
