K started up the heater if I can at least get it up to 50ish I'll put the next coat on, punch slid out easy & the one I was worried about, the vise grips also released without damage. I'll go out about 3 & see if she warmed up a bit, it's 29* now?

The weather looks too cold for at least a week or so, now I'm itching to finish it & see if the thing works & nothing else is wrong!

Got the garage warm enough to bear for a while, pulled the cable cleaned the sleeve & the connector with electric contact cleaner, & found a punch that fit the hole nicely. Put some glue on the sleeve & slid the connector on, tried to match the indented circles on the cable, put a bead on the...

Well with 6 brand new parts failing I can attest to that!

Yea, I like to fix things too, tried to instill some of those values in my sons, at least they are all hard workers, as for fixing things maybe 2 out of the 3, but 3 does well enough to pay others to do the fixing so I can live with that. A lot of the young people I encounter are pretty much...

Never have & never have tried this type of repair, time will tell! Might help me on my HO train projects, I buy junk lots of engines to tinker with & then resell, usually for a small loss but now that the cars pretty much done It will be my main keep me busy hobby! Saving 60 bucks on the car...

Nice work, my grandpa had a 60 something back in the day, all I remember is it was white!

Sounds like a plan, amazon here I come! OK glue ordered due in friday!

At classic the OER # 3592360 shows a wrench type nut at the tranny, all the others I see it's a round fitting, not sure if the round are the same thread size 57 bucks Same Part # on amazon 35, but that has the round nut. Amazon also has a Slakerbe ????? replacement for the part # for 25 also...

OK couple of questions, do I have to pull & measure the cable or is it a part I can order with mod & eng/tranny combo ? Second, this gets pulled out from the eng bay correct? Gonna go search for a cable now.

Forced myself to start on the speedo problem, jacked up the back & got just enough room to get under & loosen the cable at the tranny, could not get either one of my drills to catch the cable, after hunting around & trying to find a way to grab it I finally got a small pointy vice grip on it...

Todays check, no leaks (yet)but the pressure did bleed off over night? Put the jack stands in the garage but couldn't force myself to jack it up & test from the cable up. Only one more mild day it's tomorrow or next heat wave!

So what do you think, a bad regulator?

See if this works?

Finally got out of the house, started with the haunted car, I used permatex on the gas lines, my mechanic thought it would be ok? Well the bigger fittings leaked first, we snugged those down & it was good a while, then when I checked they were all leaking, so the hunt started for the proper...

That's great, His good deeds & help for others will not be forgotten.

Thanks for that, I searched for over an hour yesterday & found none! With the weather & Christmas it may be spring before I take a deeper look!

Yes, I checked price on speedos, 700 ish, that would hurt! Looks like a while before I'll get to it, temp in the 20's for a few days at least!

Been putting off looking into the speedometer, tried to google if I can get it out the front without removing the dash with no luck, any suggestions on where to start to find out why she's not working? I think at minimum I would have to remove the seat for me to really get under the dash.

Stretch, do you have any idea if the girl at his work ever got the tools I was sending, be a shame if they don't get to his intended purpose?
