BGT? No problem. I'm 6' 1" and the GT is just fine for me. The convertible is not good as the windshield is lower by an inch or two. MGA's work well for me too. If anyone knows of a decent '62 for sa

I don't know much about Whitworth fasteners, but the SAE's can't be too far off from the originals, or they wouldn't have gone in at all. You may get by with running the proper tap in the hole to cle

I was more than surprised to find that our local Costco (a large discount warehouse) always uses a torque wrench on the wheel nuts in their tire shop. Last time I had them balance my tires, I thanked

Since you're rebuilding the engine anyway, why not boil out the pan when you boil out the block? Regards, Dave Ambrose

When I looked at this subject line, my first thought was this had to be some LBC equivalent for the bell, book, and candle (exorcism) in Zork. I just checked Amazon. They have it for $27.97US; avalab

We used an Interstate Batteries group 26. It barely fit. But yes, any group 26 with a retaining ring will be too large. Cheers, Dave Ambrose

Use a roll of 10 mil PVC plumber's tape and tape over the spoke nipples. Mine have lasted a very long time. I was advised by our tire shop not to use duct tape. They did a lot of wire wheel work, so

It certainly sounds as if one or more bearings have died. How many miles do you have on that engine? What is your oil pressure? The '69s and (maybe) 68's were shipped with an unconscionably defectiv

One easy thing to check is the oil in the carb dashpots. If that is low or empty, then the car will stumble on accelerating.
