    Convert manual choke to something (holley 4160)

    Hi, looking for advice. I have '73 coupe, L48 350 with a Holley 4160. I bought it this way. The carb is a manual choke type, but there is no cable attached. I don't know how the previous owner drove it. I need to put on an electric choke or a bimetal one, similar to what would have been on the...

    What cleaner for coolant recovery tank - 1973

    Thanks for all the helpful tips. I tried the vinegar/baking soda thing, let it soak for a couple of days. It did not seem to be much whiter. But I think overall, with all the fluids and scrubbing, the tank is probably a lot cleaner than when I started. As for muriatic acid, I had that left over...

    What cleaner for coolant recovery tank - 1973

    I can rule out muriatic acid. I tried that on the rh end of it. The good news is that the CLR sitting in it for two days softened up the black stuff, turned it brown and then it was loose. a little scrubbing and the dark spots on the inside are gone. Still the pink color of stain on the tank in...

    What cleaner for coolant recovery tank - 1973

    I am cleaning the coolant recovery tank. This is the original 73 tank, which looks like it is made from very thick, sturdy white plastic. It is discolored with a bit of pink on some areas, black on others. it looks like the stain is inside. I tried soapy water with a bit of bleach, that didn't...

    Help Fuel Pump connections

    I know I am replying to myself, but I put a major error in here, the fuel pump fitting is not 3/8in. NPT. I think it is the next size down, so I would not want anyone to refer to this and get the wrong size. I have to go shopping for the right one now, which I believe is 1/4"NPT.

    rear diff/build sheet

    Thanks that closes that out. I wonder why no red tag on the fill plug? I don't often see square bolt heads, like on that fill plug. A 12-point 19mm socket fits nice btw.

    rear diff/build sheet

    Hi friends. I have a question for your collective knowledge. I finally extracted the build sheet for this project car I am spending my free time on. This 50 year old piece of paper is quite fragile, but actually I am amazed it is here at all. In the sheet, the diff is listed as "GV3 3.08B...

    new c3 project

    Yes, definitely keep it as is. While I was under there I retrieved the build sheet/tank sticker. I have to tape it back together, it came out in pieces. I know it has a 3.08 gear ratio, but have not figured out if it is limited slip/posi or not.
