Firm handshake coming your way

Did I ever tell you the story about that time I bought fish and chips in Sydney out at the beach?

If you want your vacc advance rebuilt then send it to these guys. http://www.qualityrebuilds.com/home.aspx It's not an absolute necessity to run vacc advance though.

I think you may have been misled, it is definitely not an additive you should be putting in with every antifreeze service. Good old Wynns sales, tell you what they think you want to hear. Don't get me wrong, Wynns are very good products but the stop leak is not intended to be an additive. It may not clog the radiator but it can definitely block up the thermostat if there is any air in the cooling system. Their website even says http://www.wynns.co.nz/wynns-product.php?n=1&g=1&s=3&id=211

They are only designed to be a temporary fix to get you home and then you need to flush it out pretty quickly, they block radiators and water galleries and cause more harm than good if you use them for more than a bare minimum of time. The Bars Leaks is pretty good for a temp fix but I would never use it more than the drive to get home. Actually I would rather run the radiator cap only fitted loosely so no pressure builds up over using a stop leak.

FYI - a fair number of us are heading to Napier this weekend for Baby K's 21st.

You would need to return it to the tank. If you don't want to do that then buy a pump with no return outlet. They arevwqy more common.

Nope. The needle valve inside the carby will shut off flow into the carb and the fuel will return via a return line to the tank.

Impressive write up man. Nice skills too.

Mini gearbox has a different final drive ratio so you will lose some acceleration but gain legs in the top end.

That is beautiful! Easy as pie to get a dual or triple stromberg carb and manifold setup for a flathead. Do it and you will gain back a fucktonne of nostalgia points.

Ol' Benjamin Button AKA KY

I have one in Wellington - I can send it tomorrow but you won't get it till Monday.

Gawd. I want so bad but I have no money for it. So I think KY should buy it and drive it home from Nats/leave it at my place between Nats's and it can be his North Island car.

Nah man Cressidas were the new Escorts, Beetles are the new Cressidas...

Internet high 5 applied.

Cooome on - who wears the pants in the relationship son...

Beautiful even as it sits! Eventual plan to slam and fit wide wheels? Not that you need to... but well you know this is Old School and it's kind of like a way of greeting someone when meeting them for the first time.

Build Thread - //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/47056-anglia4s-68-mustang/ Choice - please be the first person in the history of the earth to actual lower one of these substantially and not have the nose pointing up in the air. Get super lows and cut off a coil to start with and throw in 2" blocks in the rear with a middle of the pack leaf removed. Then some 15x8's and 205 55 15's VOILA!

So Westfest is the Tuesday before Nats and I know a few jokers are travelling early to get in Westfest prior to Nats. I have a house booked for a few days around Westfest until I bail to head to Nats on Thursday mid morning. I have offered beds to a few jokers over the last few months and I just need to make sure I have not over committed myself - not that I think I have because there are 7 beds in the place and we can always do couches or floor if necessary. So far I know that there is Me, Shaz, Geoff and EJ Have I offered to anyone else? Chegan, Hemi, KY, Spence, someone else? I haven't forgotten you intentionally I promise. I am just a bit forgetful when I don't write things down and I never wrote this tidbit of info down. Chur

It's a 71-74 third gen Dodge Charger grille with the an inch or two of the centre bar cut out and the sides squished together.

Just come back from Wagnats - WOW what a time. My favourite picture of Wagants - 1000 words etc... Before I left last week I swapped out my gearbox with a freshly rebuilt sucker and also threw some new wheels and tyres on it. I didn't update this thread before Wagnats as I wanted it to be a surprise when I turned up. Anyhow I now have a car that drives smooth and shifts gear like the fingers of god himself are changing gears. I am currently the happiest with my car that I have ever been. Still a whole lot more to go with body and interior but in the 400Km I've clicked over during in the last week it's proven the driveline and suspension wise it is in the fuckin zone and I am stoked like crazy. /I needs more horsepower. ...and that people is why you need a wagon - to carry all your shit when you go camping.

Put the rack behind the crossmember and run the struts swapped left and right? Not sure how that would effect the angle of the steering arm through the range of motion but that sounds easier to rectify with custom steering arms rather than moving the firewall and losing all the footwell.

Hello

You could probably tighten it with a drift and a hammer. Also you may want to specify if it is a 12 sided socket you want as it looks kinda like a 12 sided nut in your build thread picture.
