    Carb and manifold swap - that question again

    Good morning everyone, I hope all is well with our "old timers" and our "newbies" are enjoying this great community. So I've decided to swap out my original Carter and manifold to a new setup. I bought a Eddy 1906 already and am considering 3 manifolds. I have a stock motor and have no...

    Curious on Block year vs. Car year... 65 Sport Fury..64 383 block

    Hiya. A few weeks ago I decided to pull my starter, clean and paint it. Along with that, clean and paint the driver's side block. This would finally tell me the year of my block and it was the last thing on my list to confirm that I basically unknowingly bought a survivor. So into the grease...

    Need help. Intermediate shaft not budging?

    So the plan for my two days off was to pull my well leaking oil pump, re-seal and install with a new gasket. I watched some videos, read what I could in the service manual, and off I went. Went smoothly. No issues. Put everything back together, pump went right in with some wiggling and...

    Need help combating Vapor lock... 65 Ply SF 383

    Most of my motor is original, still have the Carter AFB and I plan to (well... hope to) keep it. The intake manifold has some kind of insulation tucked under the carb, not sure what it's for. I just had the carb rebuilt and properly tuned. I 'm good to 180, then once I get any hotter... it...

    Choke issues... with Cool Carb plate installed. Carter AFB 4200

    Anyone have anything positive so say about these things? It looks like my choke is all screwed up from this thing. The previous owner of my car had a Cool Carb heat shield installed on the car as he stated he had issues with the fuel getting vapor lock. I've heard both good and bad about...

    Pulled oil pan to clean, paint and seal..found this in pan.

    What the hell is this stuff. Is grey in color, doesn't mix well with oil and has the consistency of very thick paint. Was all over the bottom of the pan, no trace of it anywhere else. I'm going to pull the oil pump to check it. Any ideas? Not metal, tried a magnet. The pic is of it all...

    65 SF rear axle pinon angle?

    While doing some work on the rear, I found that this unit was worked on and when reinstalled, was tilted about 15 deg nose down, which wore out the U-joint and destroyed the two clamps. Thankfully, nothing else. What is the correct angle...or eyeball. I think I have it right, it's level and...

    Pulled out rear axles to inspect bearings and found this...

    I looked down the tubes and there was this spacer sitting in the carrier. The other half is still in the carrier. What is it and do i need it? It looks like a spacer that just sits in there. I'm happy to pull the carrier as i need to change the fluid anyway, but was wondering thy this came...

    742 rear end seems very tight, hard to turn.

    I'm working on the back of the car, will be dropping the rear, replacing shocks, springs and brake line. I have it up on jackstands now. I noticed checking the rear that it's very hard to turn, meaning no play. I turn with the wheel, and it stops immediately. Transmission/drive shaft is...

    65 SF 383 Heat riser issues... A lot of condensation all over it

    So I've been doing a ton of work all around the motor, but not Ion it. All was good when I parked it for the winter and to start working on it. I decided to run her today and do some leak checks. Right away, I began notice steam coming from the heat riser and exhaust coupling, on both sides...
