Welcome.
The diff in your car shouldn’t be hard to replace. Scour junkyards for something of similar widths. Most TD kits utilized the Chevette or Pinto/MustangII. Check the mounting pad distance at the spring, although this would be easy to change. The other thing to keep in mind is the bolt circle of the wheels you’re using. Make sure the axles…[Read more]

There’s always more to do, Mike.
While the tank’s out, make sure you inspect the steering column crush cage minutely. These are great safety items but after 50-60 years they tend to crack from metal fatigue—particularly if they’re not perfectly in line with the rag joint and the steering box…which they almost never are.
You never see it. At l…[Read more]

Currently the site runs on WordPress using the PHP language, version 7. PHP7 is a bit old at this point and all the cool kids are moving to PHP version 8. I say all the cool kids really meaning everyone who runs a reasonably up-to-date webserver is.
So, at some point in the next few days our service provider will be upgrading our back-end…[Read more]

Hey folks, how many can we count on for Carlisle this year?
My old droogie Alan Merklin, who has traditionally handled accommodations, Is asking about it over on The Speedster board.
He wants an idea of the head count so the hotel knows how many rooms to set aside.
