Re: Gasoline Opinions...
I am not sure of the Sunoco Racing fuels, but I will tell you that we have Shell Low Lead Aviation fuel at our facility and it has a octane rating of 105. it's not the fact of the Octane or the Lead content that determines the fuels shelf life, fuel just has a shelf life. If you leave gasoline in th...

Re: 1961 Houston Drag Race
Great Story Jeff, Ya that guy in the old Ford probably blue the Guts out of the old 292 halfway down the track, or jammed up his three speed trani.I wonder if the Corvair was a Auto or a Standard trani.

Hey Gang, anyone have a favorite product or magic solution that can be sprayed on or wiped to clean and rehydrate old Vinyl. I picked up a parts car with driver quality interior and would like to give it the once over.

EM back seat
Will the back seat from a EM two door fit the back of a EM convertible, or is the convertible cushions smaller. I have a chance to buy front and back seats for my convertible, but they are from a 2 door coupe.

Re: 64 Monza Convert power top switch
Yes it's a power top. Let me rephrase my question , I do have every thing its just packed in coffee cans and the harness is out of the vehicle and unmarked.I think Dave hit the nail on the head, I did find the bracket but no switch.Its a Canadian built car so maybe some slight differences.

Re: Crank pully
Thanks for the help Brad, Ya I think that's what happened, Some time in its life someone swapped the pulley and bent it. So I have a good LM pulley in my goodie bin. I am going to give it a try.
