Don’t ever again let rain or a little cold weather keep your TD in the garage!

Several cool TD shots. But this one is the best:

More car butts!

These two clearly show the difference between a TD and TC.

The TD picture is from a car that was converted to run a Corvette drivetrain. Very cool build:

The coil replacement is a no-brainer, just replace the wires to the new coil at the same position you took them off from the old coil. A 5 min job at the most, most of the time is taken by unbolting the old one and putting the new one into the bracket.

Yeah. I was thinking maybe TA/B but the scuttle shape on those is different. I think your TC shot was taken with a fisheye lens, which makes the tire look bigger than it is.So: TC.

I’m still TCing on picture #2.Changing a tire is easy.Changing the dash, not so easy.Removing the splash panel? OK, that would be easy. But I’m pretty sure the TD gas tank is shorter than the TC tank, beucase the TD tank ends where the splash panel starts. You san see in pic #2 that the tank drops almost to the bottom tips of the fenders….which…[Read more]

Thanks for the info guys. I’ve been trying to decide how I’m getting there and what my time frame is but I think I’ve got it figured out.Allen, I’m likely leaving the morning of Thursday, 5/17 and running up the center of Florida to pick up 95. From there I’ll pick up to 26 outside Charleston. Then I’ll grab 77 at Columbia to 81 in Virginia th…[Read more]

Thanks for the input.

The eclectronic ignition was on the car when I got it last summer so not sure what the type is. I think I will try and use a ohmmeter to test the coil first, and then try and use a different coil to see if I get some spark then go from there. I know the fuel is fine so thats not the problem. Hopefully its just the coi…

OK, so I’m not 100 percent any more that that middle pic (up top) is a TC. Look at the size of that spare tire: much smaller than the TC Paul posted.

Test by putting the points back in (you did save them, right?) If you get good love with points (over some time, with the motor heated up nice and toasty), then your pointless conversion is NG. Some of them (cough Pertronix, cough) can sometimes be cooked by too much coil voltage. More likely it’s the coil, but before replacing that, make sure…[Read more]

The same thing happened to me. Mine turned out to be the gas filter. Sometimes so i’ve been told they put 2 in.

I am also told there is a screen where the fuel line goes into the carb that sometmes needs to be cle…[Read more]
