I would offer in the range of 3000 - 3500 for the simple reason it’s not a running motor at this time. As mentioned you will need to replace the water pump and change the bottom end oil. I would actually pull the oil fill plug on the bottom end and check the oil. If it’s clear the bottoms end is...

Interesting thought. We are opening a company down there maybe I can find a way of incorporating it through that company.

Heading to Peurtos Morelos which is located between Cancun and Playa del Carmen. The problem is permitting for the car. Each state has its own rules which causes some confusion. I can get it there but I need to follow exact procedures that may or may not be exact (it’s Mexico). If I don’t do it...

Yes there are lots of Canadians making the move. Americans are doing the same thing because we are all trying to escape the bad situations here. I track all our costs by month and it is significantly cheaper to live there. We have purchased land and are looking to build later this year. We have...

Not sure I can fit it in my busy schedule. Need to make sure I alot enough time to sit at the beach and drink beer. All joking aside it is a good option and would give me something to do.

I agree it’s just a hassle getting it there otherwise it would be a slam dunk.

Not an easy decision.

Thanks for the info it helps.

There are a number of factors that are all contributing to this. I have had some health issues which I believe are resolved now. My age is quickly sneaking up on me and it’s presented some challenges along the way. Still no issues driving it though. Costs are definitely a concern especially...

After several years of many different challenges I find myself at a Crossroad of life. Looking to the future I am trying to determine what this may look like and what is the best way to get there. With this in mind I may consider selling my convertible to allow the next caretaker an opportunity...

Sorry to tell you but the trim is held on by spring clips which are bolted from the inside. I had to find some that were close to the original and in some cases modify them. There are two or three styles used on the car.

I feel for you. You work hard to get something that you are very proud of and love to drive around and then some idiot wrecks it for you then displays a terrible attitude. He definitely needs to anti up for the repairs and he should be punished by the law. Our society simply lets people off too...

Good news. I trimmed the base gasket to create a port for vacuum and everything is good now. I have a strong vacuum at the pcv now. Thanks for the help.

That’s it minus the tag. Is it possible to flip it over and take a picture of the base.

Yes it’s a Carter. The only numbers on it are located on the float bowl which is 1779 and they don’t make sense. Hoping to start it up today and see how it works now. I am thinking to will resolve an ongoing issue I had with some condensation build up I saw on the oil dipstick.

That makes perfect sense. Not sure why mine has a solid base other than it’s probably not original. I have cut the gasket in the same shape and will reinstall. Thanks for the help.

Yes it is. I agree and was thinking of trying that. To me it looks like an incorrect base gasket. Thanks

Tried the carb cleaner. The tube is connected to the oblong shaped port. This then matches to the small hole on the base gasket but there is no corresponding opening on the manifold. Kind of stumped. I may just reassemble and try it again.

As a note the number I am referring to is found on the side of the float bowl. I cannot locate any other numbers or tags for reference.
