Re: Voltage Regulator and 18 volt charging
I had a regulator fail. On the way to work one morning I noticed the ammeter was endstopping above 1500rpm. I had to drive the car to work and back while keeping the revs below 1500rpm. Changed the regulator when I got home and back to normal. Luckily I caught it early and the battery survived ...

A gearbox is what they call a steering box in the USA. They call a gearbox as we know it a transmission.

I'd keep it and use it for cleaning oil and grease off stuff.

Re: Raising car on 4 axle stands
I rebuilt the old Epco 65 last year. All you need is a few imperial o rings and a couple of PTFE washers. The PTFE washers are impossible to find so I made them on the lathe from PTFE sheet. I also made a new saddle that's lower than the original.

Re: Raising car on 4 axle stands
I own three trolley jacks. An old 2 ton Epco which I've had since the 70,s and two modern Chinese 3 ton jacks. One of the Chinese jacks is identical to the one Steve bought but is badged as a Rocwood, the other is an SGS but a different model to the jack Steve has.

Re: B body axle
I think the springs are further apart on a 71 so the perches will have to be repositioned for a 69.

Re: Blue's Barracuda
I noticed my brake lights were not working a few weeks ago. A few days before I'd had the dash out and when I'd got it all back together and connected the battery I noticed the hazard lights were on so switched them off. The brake lights are routed first through the hazard light switch and then the ...

Re: Adjustable leaf shackles E body
From what I can see those aren’t super stock springs, or at least not the right poundage for the car. New super stock springs with long KYB shocks is the cheapest fix IMO. Caltrac monoleafs only come in stock or lower ride height so that’s not going to work for you.
Caltracs are available as ...

Re: CB radios
Now and again I scan the CB FM channels and there's very little activity. The M6 motorway is about a mile from where I live and I sometimes hear truckers on channel 19 come and go. There's a few stations pop up on the same channels each time, some I can't copy while others are fairly strong signals ...
