Foil pack was normal back in the day. There was a foil wrapped insulation pack that went on the belly pan just below the intake manifold. Some say it was to keep engine heat from the intake manifold to help prevent vapor lock. Other say it was to help reduce lifter noise in the engine.

It is normal for the oil light to come on as soon as the engine dies. If the engine is not turning the oil pump is not turning. Not sure what your puff of smoke might have been? Oil dripping from your valve covers onto the exhaust manifold?

Based on a recent thread and his room full of electrical testing equipment maybe @Vaanth has some advice on what parameters I should look for in an oscilloscope. Also I believe @Polara_500_Jr said he has some small electronics experience.

I forgot, what determines what MHz bandwidth I should consider? I see 10MHz, 50MHz, 110MHz and more. I probably need to use my google machine to help understand.

As I am starting to get my exhaust analyzer in operating condition I need some test equipment. New project: Allen Engine analyzers, restoration? To do the proper tests on the circuit board and signal amplifiers, I need an oscilloscope. As I am looking I see ranges from $30 to $1600. As it...

I got my infrared source (glow plug) installed today. Need to wait until my furnace cement and fireplace mortar set up and then will see if anything good happens.

Nice car by the way. I am for originality. I like to keep it like the engineers designed it.

agree. He should be using the built in gas cap holder. The cap is the perfect size to wedge between the license plate door springs to hold it open to allow un obstructed access to the fill tube. Don’t ruin the already fragile paint by setting the cap on top of the trunk.

Yes. All shocks will expand with no load. Need the front ones fully compressed to install v

Do we have the door tag/ fender tag for this one?

Definitely not for a flipper. It would take a true hobbyist that has time on their hands and good cash flow that does it for the challenge. I am glad it’s not closer to me as I am starting to look for retirement projects. But need to (should/ want to) add on to the garage first.

A blank Canvas for sure, doesn’t look like much to undo, but plenty to re-do. Looks fairly rust free? If I were closer I would probably go look at it. I would have to step up my upholstery game for the seats. For $10K I could have it in my garage and then another $60-70k or more, it could be...

Press and hold the gas pedal about 1/3 of the way down and then crank. If your carburetor is good, pumping will just flood it.

Logistics may be a no go, but how clear and scratch free are the side windows, front and rear both sides? If they are in really good shape I could probably figure out how to get them safely to ND Also the plastic headlight bezels and a clean grill can be hard to come by if the mounting tabs...

Welcome from North Dakota

Also on the diagnostic machine I started checking pin connections from the engine harness back to the analyzer. I found when I stuck my amp meter probe in, one of the plug sockets would back out. I also found that one of the other sockets had a loose wire. Waiting for some new sockets and plug...

Maybe making some progress, maybe on my exhaust analyzer. Initially when I fired it up last year, I had heat to the infrared source, but then at about the same time I found I had re-installed my old seized vacuum pump. I remember as I shut it off to change the vacuum pump I heard a “POP”. I...

I had one of those type of projects. Now I am driving it as much as I can to depreciate it down. In the process I got an education. Looking at my kids college bills my education cost were about the same, but I have a new old car to drive which is much more fun. You will enjoy when its finished.

I need to read through the theory of operation a few times. I really need to replace the power cord as it is frayed in a couple of spots and the ground wire is broken. I saw somewhere that the gauges needed ground.

Think about it this way, If you can compress them with your body weight they likely are not going to affect your body height (if they don’t have additional springs). If your gas tank is empty and trunk empty it may be a little higher, but a full tank of gas will likely override the shock...
