One thing about old cars back in the 60's was the texture and if you have never had to build a fire under the pan to heat the engine.. Wow those were the days,...
Here's wishing that 2006 will bring the important things that you have hoped for. Looking forward to meeting more of you somewhere, someway, someday. ...
Thanks Jay, where abouts in Ca? I lived in Ventura for a couple of years and travel to La, and Long Beach often. Did you put the v8s in yourself? Did you...
I've been watching that one and thinking it was too nice to cut up myself. Too far away for me but it would be good to see somebody help it out. On the subject...
Jay, When I bought my first new truck in 89, I was driving a 68 Chevy pickup, a 67 Chevy pickup, a 67 Biscayne, and a 67 Impala. I could make my truck payment...
***Hi Mark. I agree, its very Christmasy and festive. Whoever took it has a great eye for cool. Its belongs to Dawn in Chicago. I borrowed it from her site...
Does anyone know anything about a OEM black phenolic spacer used as a heat shield under the carb of a 302 or 351? I don't know if we're talking 4bbl or 2bbl....
On the 302's the spacer either has the EGR on it or a spot for the PCV. I just took the EGR spacer out and put the one for the PCV on my 302 that is in my 62. ...
... If you're looking for a good heat shield, you can make one from wood. It's a good insulator and will hold up for quite a while. Eric ... Eric Claussen ...
Hi Brian. Could you expand a little bit? Which of the two would be easiest to plug. I don't need either the egr or pcv. Are they available for the 2bbl?...
Bob, all the smallblocks I've seen have had an aluminum spacer with a PCV connection on the back. Those are about an inch thick. But some of the big blocks had...
Duane, Chevys? <hand on forehead> Of *course* Fords are cheaper and easier to keep running! ;-) Just kidding, the 283 and 327 were fine engines, and the 235...
Duane, the panel is a tough call. It mostly depends on whether somebody out there is, or ever will be willing to save it in its present state. It is one of the...
Erick, I'm up in the Bay Area (San Leandro). My '61 pickup started out as an attempted swap that had been abandoned, so I tore it all out and started over;...
So that's been my problem all along. LOL. Just think, If i'd found Econolines back then I could have saved myself all this trouble. :-) Actually, my first...
Thanks for both replies Jay. I'll check out the 66-67 390 angle and also the website you provided. How do you do it (retorical)? I could look forever and...
Sweeet! I really love this truck...just hate pushin the go pedal and goin no where. I need to finish what i started (small block vega) before I jump into Eco...
Thanks, Jay! Have been talking with the seller this weekend thanks to your heads up, trying to get more pictures and figure out when to get down there. So...
I won't try to argue that new engines don't have it over old ones. They do. That isn't the question I'd debate, though. I'm sure Snap-On tools are better...
Brian, I talked to the guy yesterday on the phone thinking that I might want that instead of my 62 pickup. He told me the Right front wheel was locked up,...
Hey Joe, I am not saying old is bad and new is better, I am at that age where I do not want to mess with anything when it is cold outside and this new stuff...
Talking about fun, I remember one year bear hunting up at Tofte, MN a group of us went up and there were two econolines we had some 10 cases of beer and heck I...
I'm in need of a shift bracket if anyone has an old parts truck or steering column with one they'd sell me. It's the part that's riveted on and has the rod...
Wow, this isn't one you see every day - a set of front and rear emblems from a Mercury Econoline van, sold in Canada from 1962 to 1965. It'll be interesting to...
Erick, we just talked about these a couple weeks ago. I don't know of anyone selling new ones on either item, nor anything else that will substitute directly....
