That is way cool dude! I know you got a few more pics if not a video. Can’t wait to see them.

Paul,  Were you able to drain both carb float bowls?  I can’t remember if PICT 34’s have a removable drain plug (that is accessible).  But you’ve about eliminated everything else.   It fires on starter fluid.  I’m still thinking that you got a slug of a couple of ounces of water in the carbs and it is still in your float bowls. Since water is heav…[Read more]

First fillup with my car. After I installed new gas tank and adjusted carb.   l got about 26 MPG in the high 90’s here in Texas.  

You’ll do it.And so will I!

My current gas mileage is infinite! 😆

Dude! You got a ride? That is so cool!Where’s the video?

That’s better than I’ve been doing so far. I ran a few tanks earlier in the season and was getting 26-27. I do believe she’s still a tad rich, at least.

Well after beating the ball joints until both wrists are weak, I came in and read your note. That tool they discuss is the tool I have. Supposedly it works great but didn’t do squat on the Ghia ball joints. Paid a mechanic a lot to replace them. I’ll try heating the trailing arm method tomorrow. That may work. A friend of mine says he puts the…[Read more]

Hey I’m with you on damned nice to take one for a ride. Still pushing along in my 9×9 Easy-up Auto Hobby Shop. Trying to get er done in time for a few hundred miles of run in before Carlisle 2013.

But your getting a terrific arm and shoulder work out. I suggest you alternate arms for sets of ten swings. After that “pulling one’s hair out” comment, I shouldn’t offer any more help than that. 😉 I’m not that kinda guy. But I will make you work a bit.There’s a ton of ball joint info linked from this thread on the…[Read more]

with no improvement. But I’m gonna try again. All other ignition parts
are new.George, she will fire with starter fluid.Allen, NICE, kick a man when he’s down! From pump, goes to a t-fitting. All fuel hoses are new and not kinked.Workin’ on ’em is all part of the hobby,…[Read more]

I was going to say that pulling out ones hair won’t work for Paul but I won’t say it! Oops! I just did.

Well, hey .  . PLYMOUTH at least.Surprised you didn’t get love with the TD. Keep us posted and good luck.e

Nope.Fresh gas from a separate fuel can; No difference.Pulled the fuel pump yesterday. It’s fine.Seems the carbs get pulled next. Although I STILL have difficulty believing they both crapped out at the same time.Spent the rest of yesterday on my 65 Plymouth, which was also dead. NOT my summer for old cars. Bad distributor. Put rebuilt distributor…[Read more]
