Case studs went in well. It's tough to tell in the pics but they're pretty straight. I had no trouble fitting the cylinders and head. Thanks for the input, everyone. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161209/25012ad4c2bf27f42f9f056516d27802.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161209/d9217be21e6b935...

Great stories, Tommy!

Classic car owners don't trust just anybody with their cars. That goes for insurance companies AND family members. ;)

I have the standard studs according to the Clarks site. In fact, the site says to use the studs I have with the Time Serts they sell so I should be good to go. I'll contact them all the same just to be sure though. Notched, that 3/8" die, was that 3/8-16 then? I think I have one of those somewh...

I'm concerned that I need to chase the threads on my new case studs. I've installed 2 Time Serts from clarks, PN C8767L and I have case studs from Clarks, PN C8660. The studs are starting into the Time Certs about 1/4 turn before starting to bind. I don't want to force it and figured maybe I should ...

I've insured vair and other cars with Hagerty and they're by far the most flexible. My old State Farm classic insurance on the Rampside had a 1000 mile cap and there were no options. No other mileage options. No racing. Nothing. The policy on my 69 Monza has no mileage cap... though they asked me wh...

I too have had the swaying issue towing a Corvair loaded front first. I think it depends on the tow vehicle as to how much you'll experience the issue. I've towed with lots of unstable tow vehicles. Towing with a decent truck, I'm "good to go." Sent from my SM-G900V using Corvair Forum mob...

No comments at all. I was hoping the kids would want to run up the ramp and goof off but they were focused on candy I guess.

There's a partially assembled motor for sale near me with a .280 lift regrind cam in it. Would that cam be similar to an Isky 280 or a similar offering from Otto? I realize that there will be differences and it's tough to generalize a cam off of just one number like this but... similar? Sent from my...

Man, what a great looking car. I love the silver and black stripes!

Ha! I haven't changed the belt on my car yet. Thanks for the heads up. I'll be spilling a little fuel with each belt change for a while.

I'll be there Saturday morning. I'm debating bringing my green 69.

I 2nd the fuel line. I ran all 5/8" steel brake line with the flared ends cut off. It's a bit tough to bend with your thumbs. Alternately, you can bend it with a cheap bender from the auto parts store or harbor freight. Dont be a wuss. Keep the 4-barrel. ;) Mine has a flat spot, runs poorly whe...

Ha! I had no idea there was a Fontana in Wisconsin. How's the weather there? Maybe not the best for autocross right now?
