Bud, Might also try tapping the end of the stud with a hammer (protected by double nuts) as you turn, similar to the technique used with an impact screwdriver. Good luck -- Chris Attias Aptos, CA '64

Bummer...I'm surprised that either the restraining rod on the tranny or the angle iron plates that bolt to the motor mounts (on cars without rods) didn't prevent the engine from moving into the radi

I would agree with David-- powder coated dash will "last forever" and resist chipping. Another caveat about the process is that some powder coating will break down in sunlight (UV). If you go this r

Depressing news indeed! Before I got Speed Vision, F1 was also run on a Fox Sports Network channel--does anyone remember the years or who the commentators were?. I remember the commentary as being OK

Anyone is going down to the Monterey Historic Races this weekend? Should be a good show. Yeh, it's more a beauty contest than a racing event, but just the sight and sound of vintage cars in motion is

This is not meant as a flame, but I take it you are referring to a "totally original" British Car. The gearboxes in question (from a Ford Sierra), and the kits to install them, are British-- though I

If you are swapping to an O/D tranny, how necessary is the vacuum switch? I'm assuming that you would want to install one per OEM and would need a vacuum nipple on the intake manifold to connect it t

As someone who is about to make the change to a Ford 5-speed, I can say I have given it a lot of thought. My reasons don't have anything to do with the need for "customization" or higher performance

The round thing with the hose on the '65 is indeed an O/D vacuum switch. Delays O/D switching under certain throttle / vaccum conditions. The other one is an O/D electrical relay. Moss Motors lists
