I used Dorman 610-157

I had the same issue when I out Iroc rims on my '66. Rear studs would only engage 3-4 threads on the lug nut which wasn't enough to make me feel safe. You can drive out the old ones pretty easily with a big hammer, I threaded a lug nut on to keep the threads from getting mashed up, 2-3 whacks will p...

But, but, but it comes with the handy applicator gun to make sure you have enuff on there!!!!

I would never trade a gun for a car.
That said, a "flood car" would be nothing more than a donor to me.

So where would the best place to source constant (key switched) 12v in the engine bay for a replacement dist like a Pertronix or Stinger?
Will be wiring up my Stinger unit shortly.

Just add a Gas Monkey Sticker............

Bleh..

Check the vac gauge if you still have one in there.
Mine has a tube from engine to the gauge and will allow the panel to come out as far as yours before it hangs up.
Need to disconnect it to remove the dash.

Talked to Cotrofelds today as a matter of fact! Still going, although the guy they used for cylinder head work just recently retired and they have no replacement as of yet. I have a 140 that needs a rebuild, and had a few questions for them as some of the assy work is above my equipment and skill le...

I used this on mine, and in my Willys Ross steering box.
Cheap and in stock at my local dealer

(middle of the page). My '66 was a greasy lump, took some cleaning of ancient grease/oil to find it.

Need pic of the Morris, I had a '57 1000 2 door.
Still miss it at times.

Top: chassis grease

Bottom: Bearing grease - higher Timken value

Yes, as Ted said - replace the nut! Alternative if you don't have the pickle fork is to back up one side of the spindle where the stud goes thru, and whack the opposite side with a big hammer. May take a couple of blows but the shock of the impact usually pops 'em loose. Then, remove nut and lower t...
