These are 1970 Sport Fury. Do your wheel bearings have identification numbers stamped on them?

You caught me. LOL. I ordered a right side mirror that turned out to be a left side mirror. Installed it and said, "Oh ****." Paid a lot more for an NOS correct right side mirror. Used the glue trick on the ball. Corrected the pictures in my post above. :rofl:

Welder guy found my thread. See post below.

Looks like mine takes the short base. That eliminates 1970 Fury convertible. No points for Ben Right side mirror on right, Left side on left

Is that a Dewalt Heat Gun? What model? How did you reattach the glass?

Great Car! With the stubborn drum, sometimes you can put a small screw driver through the adjustment slot of the backing plate to push the lever away from the adjuster and then use a separate flat blade screw driver through the same slot to back off the adjuster. Recommend doing this on a day...

Remember to check all passages. I use an air gun on an air compressor hose. I once rebuilt a Holley 2-barrel 3 times because of a clogged air bleed passage. Finally, I stuffed a piece of coathanger up one of the passages and out came all this gray/black carbon that looked like granulated gun...

You have a cast crank, so doubt it's a factory HP motor. Windage tray and purple cam indicate that someone tried to upgrade the engine. 1973 non-HP engines had low compression, ballpark 8.0:1. That engine is not going to have any torque until you raise compression to at least 9.0:1. Advise...

KRL (Tapered Roller Bearing) The KRL shear test uses a tapered rolling bearing in a cup fitted to a four ball instrument. Load is applied to the bearings as they are rotated at a certain RPM for a specified length of time. The test is typically run for 20 hours. KRL is considered to be one of...
