    Fuel Blends and Carburetors

    When you rebuild a carb, does the kit contain gaskets/seals that are immune to the effects of ethanol? Does anyone know where to get rebuilt kits made out of the right materials?

    Randomnly stalls

    The music cut out?? I'd check all the basic electrical, main battery cable & ground cables, ignition switch, etc. You're losing multiple electrical systems (ignition & radio/assy) simultaneously.

    67 Fuse

    If the parts stores don't have those little fuses, you could try Radio Shack. They often have old/odd sizes of glass fuses. The water that enters those vent slots in front of the windshield should exit out the drain holes on the ends of the cowl unless they're plugged with leaves and stuff...

    67 coupe rear windshield molding.

    Never actually removed the rear window, but my old shop manual for the 67 shows 6 clips across the top, 2 on each side, and 8 across the bottom. They all seem to be the same part (Retainer 42413) and seem to be fairly evenly spaced.

    Partial Floor Pan

I'm just now rolling around the bottom of the car, taking inventory of what needs to be done, discovering busted...

    Partial Floor Pan

    Hey everyone -- On a 67 coupe, I'm facing replacement of the left front partial floor pan, possibly the whole left side, and I'm not sure of the best way to stabilize and keep the car perfectly square, level, and untwisted when I cut out the old section. I know my garage floor certainly isn't...

    289 Engine Redline

    Thanks everyone... I checked it over, and the vacuum/timing/oil press/temp are still rock steady, no new sounds/vibrations/leaks, same slight wisp of smoke when you gun it, etc. I'm betting all we did was blow out some cobwebs. This motor has 214K miles on it (rebuilt at 100K), and is still...

    289 Engine Redline

    We THINK we ceased at 5100, and only held it there for a couple seconds.

    289 Engine Redline

    Hi all, What's the redline for a 289 without a load on it? We have a fairly worn one up on jackstands, checking out all the basics, and got it revving really fast -- it was only afterwards that a friend told us we shouldn't run the motor at super high rpm without a load on it...
