Lee,

'Fraid not; below is the decal on this dryer.

O wow, that's only a 5-hour drive for me! That's doable if I need to do that. I should clarify myself on that topic, though: I'm not 100% sure whether the receiver-dryer I bought seven years ago needs to be converted or not. There are no warnings or caveats on the piece itself or the sales slip, sta...

Oh, I've been saying that for years, Wayne! I'd say that, if you see a first-gen Mustang or a befinned mid-'50s Chevy in mint condition, with zero trace of rust, it's a kit-car. Replicas. Those two are the most reproduced vintages in the world. But yes, I do hope to have a good amount of support whe...

Caveat: There is more than merely a master cylinder involved. It took me some years, but I learned that lesson the hard way when I converted Frankenstein's brakes to dual-hydraulic–the only real upgrade change '66 brakes needed. Of course, if you're getting an all-inclusive kit, then that more will ...

Thanks! Still getting used to it, as it's almost nothing like Frankenstein. But, I'm recalling the training I had 20 years ago, before I drafted Frankenstein into service. There's no better long-term teaching tool than a 2-series B-Mer with a manual stick and an ignition problem, especially in a tow...

2006, exactly 40 years younger than Frankenstein. GT variant, with every performance and creature-comfort option Ford offered that year, including a drop-top (all special-ordered new by my late stepfather that year). It had barely above 20 kilomiles on it in its 18 years of life. My mother said it w...

Well, I can share one from last year, of the distant siblings together (siblings in the regard that they came from the same parent company, and the new addition is in fact of my family, special-ordered new by my late stepfather, left to me by my late mother)...

:lol: Yes, I'm actually building up for it now, so any reliable prospect within driving distance is welcome. I'm also building up for the A/C restoration; once I get the Mustang officially registered I'm going to focus on finding a receiver-dryer fitted with R-134a-compatible lining (as I do not kno...

I said the same thing on the Facebook page where Kelly made that announcement. Very nice to see Ol'-Cash back in the bizz...but, yes, he really needs to focus on an instructor's role, training padwans in his methods, his discoveries, so they won't be lost in the ether like Ron Baker's were.

For a long time I was resistant to the idea of rebuilding, until I saw first-hand the major benefits in doing so. I do agree, if the pistons still give good compression, a full core rebuild is not necessary; but there is something that really needs to be done to the block even if you skirt the full-...

Thank you for that! I'll look them up and probably pay them a visit very soon, after I finish getting my inherited car registered.

Hi, all, This is an unusual "wanted" post, yes, but I really do want input from S.A. Forum members on which upholstery shops in the city are the most trustworthy. After all these years, I'm ready to commit to a total overhaul of Frankenstein's upholstery. I also have new green leather skin...

Sorry I'm a tad late to this discussion. We can argue the horses and torque until Jesus comes back; but the bottom line is, where would one even use such power?! We're talking about cars whose speedos physically stop turning at 120 mph, which the 462 is more than capable of attaining. Try going any ...

An organ donor, then...? Hmm ... I'm sure I could think of some things, depending on what optional equipment this car you found was fitted with.

---Tony

Thank you for the input. It occurred to me that I never compared the respective angles of the float rods in detail between the old and new senders. I just looked at their general similarities and hoped for the best where the low-fuel light was concerned. That's not an immediate concern for me to che...
