Re: grease seals

Check out rockauto.com.

They list a few for both 10 and 11 inch drums and none specifically for discs. It does have all the measurements though so you should be able to measure the ones from your discs and get the right one.

Re: 71Grille Retoration

I don't have any technical knowledge that I can add to this - but I do have a 71 GTX with an unrestored grille - and while it does have the painted bottom edge - you have to try pretty hard to see where the inside of the light bezels were painted argent. They are mostly black with just a partial spr...

Re: 72 Seat Foam

PG Classic lists it in their catalog: http://www.pgclassic.com/product_info.php?products_id=1083 I can't speak to it specifically because I haven't used it - but is one of the things on my list. Legendary doesn't list it - but haven't called them. I have been happy with other PG Classic products tho...

Re: Performer RPM fitment

I too am thinking about that. It is tighter than I want it to be inside and definitely costs HP. The stock lid on this drop base creates a pinch point where it dips down just inside the filter element. At that point - I have about 3/4 of an inch with the 2.75 inch tall element. On a stock air grabbe...

Re: Performer RPM fitment

Well - I was able to accomplish my goal- restore an original-looking airgrabber air cleaner element while using the Performer RPM on a 440. I used a fiberglass reproduction base - removed the middle part and fabricated in a drop-element base in its place. Wouldn't fool anyone and that isn't my inten...

Re: WANT DIFFERENT WHEELS...WHAT DO YOU LIKE

I like those aluminum mag slots too! :beer:

I had some slots on mine for the last 20 years. Interesting to see how they went from being what everyone had - to what is now retro-rare. Here is a pic of mine before I went back to the ralleys.

Re: What to offer for an Airgrabber hood?

Good points here about the value of a factory hood. Thinking about this more - another way to think about it is what I would sell one for if I had it. I probably wouldn't take less than $500 for the pair - but that assumes that I had an extra!! If it was the only one I had - I don't think I'd part w...

Re: What to offer for an Airgrabber hood?

I agree with the above. The hood is not worth much, nor is the bubble. The parts all together are worth something, but the hood and the bubble are worth about $100 in my opinion.

Nice clarification road chicken -- I was referring to a RB fit and indeed - a B engine would give you more room. :oops:

Re: Performer RPM fitment

Edelbrock Performer RPM is a high-rise that adds about 1.5 inches to the overall height. I have an airgrabber setup and the stock air cleaner pan and cover definitely do not fit - I needed to get a drop base air cleaner to get it to fit under the hood and am still working on fabbing something to get...

Re: electronic ignition trouble

I think I had the same problem. The issue for me was the reluctor in the distributor. I would set the gap between the reluctor and the wheel at spec, but then as the car warmed up, the gap decreased and contacted the wheel - which would in turn stall the car. Are you running a stock-style distributo...

Re: Original Restoration Reference Thread

Good idea with the reference thread Ronman. I too think a library of reference resto pics would be a good addition to this forum. Maybe we can put it in the image gallery... uh, oh, um yeah. :) Here is a place where there is a lot of reference - not specific to our models, but still a great resource...

Re: window help

Since all it does is stop the window glass - and doesn't really take a lot of abuse, I don't think you need to replace it. I see the tab is busted off, but If it were me, I would just use weather strip adhesive and just stick it back in place! Too many other parts you need to spend $$ on. This one c...
