Hi everybody, first post here. Recently purchased a '71 with several PO mods that I'm currently working through. PO swapped the 3-speed manual with an AOD (which currently doesn't shift out of first). They did install a Lokar TV cable (I believe the routing is incorrect on the bracket at the carb). Trans does't shift out of first, doesn't matter if it's floored, lifting off gas at high rpm, half throttle, no throttle... TV cable has no slack, so I figure it's the governor that's the issued...

Recently did a radiator on my car, and after the radiator the car had felt a little sluggish off of the line for a while. Then last week, was driving out of the neighborhood and suddenly the car died right on the spot. Wouldn't restart for the life of me so I went back home and got the 2nd vehicle, jumped the car and got it back home. A few days later go to drive it and it starts right up, but the moment I go into reverse it bogs out and dies, and then wont restart easily, and when it did... Read more

That front site glass in primary Fuel disappears overnight, on startup tiny smoke burns off. Possibly needle and seat? One of the o rongs? gasket? Carb is not that old. Thx in advance for the Tips

Recently been having some starting problems with my land cruiser. This problem only seems to happen when its below freezing. The engine cranks over and starts up but immediately idles really low and eventually stalls out after a few seconds, when it stalls out or i turn the key off, the starter is engaged and cranking the engine but will not start it. The only way to make it stop is to unplug the battery. I replaced the ignition switch because it didn't make sense to me that the starter... Read more

It's not the Buick GSX, Stage 1, claimed for years, I believe Hot Rod proclaimed the winner the GSX about 13.3 ET. Which is inaccurate However, another car came in at 13 flat Do you know the car and driver ?

I've been chasing some minor overheating issues with the 1997 FZJ80. 1. Thermostat seems OK because the vehicle heats up fast and then stays at 85*C for long periods of time when driving in colder weather. 2. New Aisin blue fan clutch. It helped bring the temps down a lot The only piece left in the puzzle is the radiator. My symptoms are the following... When I am on flat ground in colder weather I get 85-90*C just like the thermostat is supposed to hold the temperature. No matter if I'm... Read more

I’m looking for some of the spring clips that hold the L shaped chrome strip around the rear side panels of of a fastback. I’m putting the interior back in and apparently about all of them got lost in the shuffle.

Was this really necessary? Is there a way to opt out of it? EVERY time you open FABO now you have to wait for the verification. I've searched for browser extensions that prevent this but I don't see anything that exists yet. Even if the window or tab is already open in the background, it will revert to the verification. This site works well - why do we need the verification?? It's really annoying!!

Lets try this again. I had some odd people contacting me about this product from that last thread, so I deleted it. Hopefully that doesn't happen again. This is a complete replacement of the sunroof assembly. 18 gauge steel panel with frame attaches to the existing roof and covers the sunroof opening. The unit attaches securely with bolt-on clamps that tighten the panel to the roof, using windshield urethane in between the two pieces for a weatherproof seal. 12 gauge aluminum... Read more

I have upgraded all my brakes to disc brakes. Happy with the conversion, except now I can' mount the air filter housing directly on the carburator inlet. any recommendations? copilot says install an extension, rotate housing, or use a 1968-1970 air cleaner.

Does anyone recognize these wheels? They were mounted on my 65 Dart coupe when I got it and I’d like to get rid of them, but need to know what they are. They are 14 inch small bolt pattern wheels. At first I thought they were some kind of Uni-Lug type wheel because of the mis matched lug nuts and washers. Now I’m not so sure. Could they be slotted Ansens? Someone will recognize them I’m sure. Pictures attached. ... Read more

Just received new cnc pump for my e99 project. I had a question about the flow sheet it came with. The GPM seems low. Is that 2.6GPM only at 1500rpm and goes up from there? Image:
