  1. Or the tension arms from the lower control arm. Proper name is currently escaping me...
  2. The ballast resistor reduces the current the points in the distributor see. They last longer that way. Main fuse box is in the center console. Only other over current devices are the fuseable links. If the battery is charged it will start and run without the alternator or most any of the lights

    I agree with others, dont go chopping on anything. Find the thread on "waking the sleeping beast". Work through those steps before attempting to start it. Also its best not to start multiple threads. It makes it hard for others to help you
  4. Surprising how much it changed
  5. I didn't have the space to hang 40 odd pieces and still move around them to paint...
  6. Pressure washer

    Yes, I believe that is a center force clutch but I don't know which one

    Yes, what Jonbill said

    So I have a question... How have you confirmed TDC? Not by marks or some other, but true TDC?

    Sorry Cliff! You can PM me anytime you need to...

    I would rather damage the bumper or nose of the hood versus building up a bumper reinforcement and damaging the frame. Condensers and radiators are easy to deal with

    How long did you take Zantac? I use to take it for ulcers at one point...

    Oh my!!! Those are really rusty!! Shame really...
  14. I thought it was $54,500? DId I misread it? Still a very respectable car and not nearly as correct as some here... @Zup Never mind it must have updated or something. Almost 70k for a "lowly" 73'! Superb!!

    Radon systems typical ventilate under foundations, slabs or in basements. Can be complicated to retro fit but obviously worth it in some areas

    Sorry to hear that!

    Was it the fuel pump?
  18. Do you have any shielding between the hot header and the carbs?
  19. Patcon posted a post in a topic in Open Discussions
    Who did you use?
  20. Do you have a heat shield installed? Where are you located?

    Those kinds of parts are difficult to plate. Inside corners tend to be the real issue. It looks good. I use a heat gun to dry parts and set the color. It also helps to prevent drip stains

    I like to use smaller wires for stringing. The larger ones can cause shadowing problems. I will strip some multi strand cable and use one or a few fine strands to string fasteners. Depending on fastener size

    Those fasteners look really good! I had 2 used Caswell heaters for a while. They eventually died. I am using a large glass aquarium heter currently but it doesn't get quite warm enough. I have considered using a digital temp controller and an element

    @sfm6s524 That's a really nice looking setup! Love the top to keep the tanks clean! Post up some pictures of what your getting. Maybe we can remotely trouble shoot. Be careful with brightener. I have added too much at times and I believe it resulted in blistering. You have to filter the tank if that happens to reduce the organics.
