I emailed Cory

Catch 22 on point one, Jack.How do you check it out for a long distant drive without taking a long distant drive?

Not sure Ed. He has not responded to my post on the SOC. Maybe not reading it any more?If you reach out and ask him that would be great.

Hey Schu, is Cory joining us?

Come on Jack You have a couple of weeks for shakedown trips in your local area to build confidence. You don’t have to make a decision till you get to my place.Either way I’m glad your coming.

Bill: when Jack gets to Schu’s place with the tow rig, you pull the needles out of the valves of the tires of his tow vehicle. I’ll grab the igniter off his ignition system.

It’s been my experience that an Apple device (iPhone or iPad) allows you to post one initial photo and from there on it thinks any new photo you try to post is that original photo and tells you that you’ve already posted it. One and done.

DRIVE!!!   ALL DRIVE!!!

Def maybe. Will advise…Jack: drive her! She’ll do fine & we won’t leave you stranded

Compression check. Good one.

British Miles has only one damaged grille available. Three TD parts cars on the lot along with a lot on new parts.Better luck next time.

The originals had that bulge in the seat back. A lot don’t have it anymore. I always thought that was the coolest thing tho.

I assume you disconnected everything. Remove the battery. It’s probably fried, but check it anyway. Any number of other things could also be ruined. Remove the alternator and have it tested also. You might luck out but don’t count on it. There should be a fusible link installed in this circuit and from your description was not. Remove and replace…[Read more]

OK. Most of these master cylinders mount the same. You can get away with using almost anything. I started with the original Pinto cylinder which eventually wore out. I bolted up a cylinder from the little Ford LTD (1983?) because the brake lines exit the cylinder on the right side. The original cylinder had the lines right up against the body…[Read more]
