That's a sharp looking car. Hows it run?

You do have the right attitude. It seems to me with a little clean up and replacement of obviously burned parts you'll be well on your way to being back on the road. These guys seem to have some spare parts keep up the conversation and you'll be back on the road. Personally, I would look at it as a ...

I dig your sled man!Cool rims with that color. Don't worry there's plenty of help in this community. Plus if your from LA your probably smart enough to learn a few tricks. From the loo of your photos you look like somewhere near down town am i right? I used to live in LA, Pasadena and Azusa, Claremo...

both of my hoses were like yours, ripped and torn for years and my car has never over heated. I had them replaced by my old mechanic. he must be almost 80. he likes to complain about my car but he didn't say anything about it being difficult to replace the heater hoses....

That's really cool, Ali. i have a 64 also. It has a 140 with a powerglide tranny. Can you send more pictures and tell us how long she has sat? Engine and tranny etc etc. Any history on the car with you or before would be great info. these guys are great on here and are glad to help. Brad will be alo...

Yeah, they're older cars and prone to being misunderstood by mechanics (shade tree or not). That can lead to issues down the road. I believe true mechanics are a dieing breed so it is a good car to "cut your teeth on" mechanically-that way you have no one to blame but yourself. It can be d...

That's a very interesting historical review. I owned a BMW once and was very impressed by it. I think alot of people say that about German engineering. It seems like they didn't get it from VW after all. And its not really which one is more superior or who came first its just that they are two diffe...

I have never liked the comparison to Volkswagen.
Discuss...!
After reading the "random-guy" post, who asks "what kind of car is that" inspired me.......(plus I am bored waiting on the major undertaking to get my ride RIGHT!)

Oh, Lord, how's your sanity gauge?
I'll wait until Brad gets a hold of you before i chime in.

Usually, "Cool Car." or "no kidding, Chevy?" or like you pointed out someone they knew had one. Its the ones that know what it is that's fun to me. A lot of times people had them or like you pointed out someone they knew had one. But never had the roll over and bursting into flam...

Thanks Brad, is the "play" in the drive gear normal?

Oh well. I thought I was clear.....I inspected the fly wheel by having someone rotate the engine 360 degrees. I saw all the teeth. The teeth i took a picture of were the worse I could find meaning most worn. Not knowing what I am looking at the teeth looked fine. Question #1; If the teeth are so bad...

yep c192A. If it is the ring gear then why did it work so well when I first put it in. But I am begining to think it is the ring gear except for that and the teeth seem ok to me......

I checked in the Clarks price catalog and the cones come with the bushing.....

The bushing is in there

The armature doesn't have play the drive gear does.......
