u can still buy those oil caps new. i know we stock them for late 70's fords, they're like 4-5 bucks. my 78 neport/ 400cid has the same cap on it- it shoots strait to the outside of the aircleaner box, id imagine u can find one pretty readily. of course mr gasket offers a chrome version (like 15 buc...

i'm probabaly a day late, and dollar short-as usual- check ur lining of couse, if the slack will not come out of cable, we sell at oreilly's, in the "help" section, a small devise that that clamps on the cable and takes some slack out. i tried it on my savoy, but my lining is toast, the ri...

Thanx for all the friendly welcome backs. :) lol- You sometimes have to make sure i don't get thrown in the poky for doing donuts or something else equaly foolish- :roll: Yeah John, i'm still living in the same city (Anadarko), which is about an hour's drive south-southwest from OKC. How is ur hardt...

Hi to everyone, sorry for my long absence. Computer crapped out from virus, got it fixed after a fair bit of time, then i moved a couple of times-unable to find proper time to hook up computer and internet. Hopefully i wont have to move again or have computer problems again anytime soon as i'm not f...

thanx, that would great roger! --j

i am not restricted by crankshaft woes. i will be using a high bred of a late 70's 360 and a '70 340. i have to go with a later transmission. furthermore, i have a later model rear axle so i don't have to keep the original parking brake setup. i have a 727 that came w/ the '70 340 i'm sure it needs ...

they both have a silocone like fluid. the only difference between the two is the thermostat one will totally lock up when over-heats (usually 220), it is the heavier duty of the two. i run one on my olds (chev small block). if overheating is an issue, u can get a perfomance thermostat, same company ...

hey again roger, i have a manual car, want to convert to auto, got the assembly? what else do u have in ur stock pile? (just box it all up and send it straight to me;) )--jeremy

i could use one. my base is pitted, but i can fix that, my lense is missing a small chunk and only way i can keep it up is w/ super glue. will send e-mail, thanx--jeremy

yeah, i think we were talking about the same fans, took me a sec to realize it though. :? i know on later model pickups, that have a thermal lockup clutch fan, being that when it hit a certain temperature, usually 210-220, and they sound like ur taking off when they lock up. clutch style fans also f...

give me some dimensons, ie: bolt pattern and how long, and i can try a book at work and see what i can find. the rotation i believe is clockwise, but somebody correct me if i'm wrong. - it's winter time and business is kinda slow, so i get to goof around in our books every so often. :lol: 8) --jeremy

what is a visco fan?--on the subject of fans, i would not go with a flex one, like u can find really easy(ub know the aftermarket ones i'm talking about). i saw ones a few months back get metal fatigue on one of the blades, break, and lodged itself(just one blade) into the radiator. so i don't think...

thanx roger. will try to find that oe one. i did find one that will get me by for now though. had it in my shop even. i just had to unbury the '70 340 and it still had on one there, different design, short and straight up, but it worked. :) my heater worked good for a day. :? once it heated up nicel...

i went to change the thermostat in batmobile today, got tired of little/no heat. i discovered that the thermostat stuck open due to the supporting wire in the upper hose dissentigrated and lodged itself perfectly into the thermotat opening. also discovered my housing is severely rusted :( . not enou...

yeah, well sell them as well at oreillys, most parts houses seem too. i think there r 2-3 different sizes we've got, so u might want to bring an original for size a length comparison. the ones that i am used to r zinc plated steel w/ a stainless cap stamped onto them, u might try polishing them to a...
