  1. Pumping SUs really doesn't help without the starter spinning. There is no accelerator pump in an SU like many classic cars had
  2. I would pull that tank and check it before I put fuel in it! 50/50 it holds fuel, maybe less
  3. Or the tension arms from the lower control arm. Proper name is currently escaping me...
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. Surprising how much it changed
  7. I didn't have the space to hang 40 odd pieces and still move around them to paint...
  8. Yes, I believe that is a center force clutch but I don't know which one
  9. Yes, what Jonbill said
  10. So I have a question... How have you confirmed TDC? Not by marks or some other, but true TDC?
  11. Sorry Cliff! You can PM me anytime you need to...
  12. 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
  13. How long did you take Zantac? I use to take it for ulcers at one point...
  14. Patcon replied to Mark Maras's topic in Open Discussions
    Oh my!!! Those are really rusty!! Shame really...
  15. 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!!
  16. Radon systems typical ventilate under foundations, slabs or in basements. Can be complicated to retro fit but obviously worth it in some areas
  17. Sorry to hear that!
  18. Was it the fuel pump?
  19. Do you have any shielding between the hot header and the carbs?
  20. Who did you use?
  21. Do you have a heat shield installed? Where are you located?
  22. 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
  23. 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
