Steven, Welcome, glad to see another one will survive! CV 1895 should feel at home with the Shelby's, they all like to turn left and right and not just go...
Hello Dick/All, Thanks for the good wishes, yep hope to have 1895 at the 07' roundup next year, I was surprised to see the date and event plans had already...
While we haven't posted here very often in the past few years, I wanted to say that I just purchased and received a Weber carb setup from HME. Carl had to buy...
Gee Richard Ya should have put a post out on the site - I have an NOS set (YES all the Components ARE NEW) of Hutton Webers with Italian made 42's (the carbs...
Steven, In addition to what you suggested to replace, I would also change all the rubber fuel lines. The original EFI has a remarkable tendency to work even...
I went to work on the front brakes today for the first time since I bought the car. I had the pads but I did not know that the pins take spring nuts. I think...
If the lug nut dropped into the cowl area, you need to remove the footwell vent panel to retrieve the lug nut. If the front caliper pins are ok, you can go to...
Thanks, Bob I will go to NAPA tomorrow and if they can't get the parts, I will go to Maryville fastner (our local hardware guru) and see what they got. Jon ...
Tim, Thanks for the heads up. I posted several requested in the past, but never received any replies. While I would have liked the 40mm carbs, Carl, at HME,...
Richard I seem to remember a post back in April, of course at that time I did not have any spare sets - I just got this one put together before the Round Up. ...
Hi there A gynecologist was getting tired of his job and decided to switch careers. He'd always enjoyed tinkering with engines, so he enrolled in a school for...
Personally, I like the 40's better than the 42's but I would take the 45's any day. Both the 40's and the 45's are very adaptable because you can change the...
Dick The 42's choke tubes can be changed as with all DCO(E) and IDA series Webers, it's just harder to find the chokes and aux venturi's (Pierce Manifolds). ...
Thanks Tim, I thought the pair I had seen did not have the retaining screws on the outside of the barrels that hold them in place. Dick ... series Webers, it's...
Jon, I did the breaks on 2406 and was able to get the pins, Bushing, and e-clips from them. You need 2 kits, 1 for the left and 1 for the right. A kit only has...
Dick 42's and some early 40's don't use retaining screws - there is a groove running down the barrel with a corresponding tab on the choke tube and aux venturi...
Everyone: A debate arose at the Roundup about the fairing for the SkyTrends sunroof that was fitted to a small number of Cosworth Vegas. The question has to...
Wasn't Maurice's saddle, Gene Von Gunten's firethorn, & the Doctor's blue sunroof fairings painted body color? bob chin "Mark A. Rock" <markarock@...>...
mark,not to confuse the situation further but the fairing on the green 76 i parted out was saddle in color and matched the interior of the car.i am positive...
Mark, I still stand by the notion that because of the high rate of warpage from extreme temperatures and light instabilities that a replacement fairing made...
When I purchased #3241 3 years ago, I received a lot of documentation, the build sheet shows simply 'ship to skytrends' written in longhand. The fairing was...
just bought #2466 but it's missing too much to restore although its very solid. I owned #210 way back in 1979-81 only to sell it to a jerk that threw the...
The last I show of 0210 was that it was owned by a guy named Ron C. back in 78 in MI. I haven't seen anything about thte car since. Your new car 2466 I show...
-Thanks Chris now that i checked my records I bought 210 0n 8/25/77 from Mathhews Hargraves Chevy in Royal Oak Mi. for the sum of $3150.00 wish I had kept it ....
Mark, I dug up photos I took of #3412 (RIP), the fairing was Mahogany as was the body. If I remember correctly, I believe there was some warpage present,...
Thanks for the tip. I will use them for future needs. I actually found that NAPA had the kits, and ordered them for me. Thanks again. Jon Denton dnoblett1111...
Tim, Richard, et al. the 42 dcoes take the same choke (main venturi) and the same size aux. venturi as the 40 dcoes. I'm running a 32 main venturi (choke) and...
Everyone: In the June 14, 2006 issue of the Wall Street Journal the Auto Editor responded to a question from a spouse asking whether the old cars her husband...
Well, it looks like things are coming together. I should have some parts soon. The guy that was working for me will be coming back part time so I will be...
