Re: Getting a start on the convertible project
I've now put 11,000 miles on this car since completion. Just south of us there is a big car show just before Halloween every year, it usually draws 300 hot rods and classics, but this year rain was forecast and many stayed home.

Re: Only $40K!

Re: pinging
Great advice! It's entirely possible you're getting too much advance, or earlier than you should.

Re: pinging
2 head gaskets may lower the ratio enough to help, but retarding the timing slightly would be my first direction.

Re: pinging
There's a good chance that the compression ratio change could be causing the pre-ignition. Try a higher octane fuel, if that doesn't help, retard the timing some. Pinging will eventually harm the engine if it persists.

Re: Faulkner gets a Redo
I'd be happy to let you use the tools, do you already have the slide hammer?

Re: Faulkner gets a Redo
I use a slide hammer like the one shown above, I bought a threaded adaptor from the Snap-On dealer that threads onto the slide hammer shaft, and the other threaded end is the same pitch and diameter as the threaded part of the axle. I welded two axle nuts together, so I can screw this onto the axle ...

Another option is to use Dash Specialists out of Medford, Oregon. Their product was as nice as Just Dashes, but much less expensive.
