Thanks Mick.....Ive got a factory manual so will check that now I know what areas Im looking at to find out exactly what to do. Im guilty of reading too much sometimes when the tools just need to come out and get on with it!!

Hi, anyone know where I can get a set of black rubber original or repo original style front and rear floor mats for my 68 Polara sedan (auto column shift). 68 Monaco sedan mats should also fit.

Hi, Following a conversation earlier over a pint, anyone know what the correct original backspace depth is on standard original 70 D100 steel wheels? My mate is restoring his truck and would like to get it looking original. Anyone able to post a picture of what they should look like? His hubs are 5 ...

thanks for explaining that Mick, sounds easy enough to check. Can this be adjusted if the gap is too big/ small or is it a replacement job? The backfire came after I restarted after my first experience of cutting out after a few seconds. All vacuum hoses appear ok but will have another look. Where c...

Hi everyone, hope you are all well and avoiding the snow! Thought I would spend a few minutes putting a message on introducing myself and my car.

Got a test to do as per earlier post to check ballast resistor so thats on going. Not sure exactly how to check reluctor gap but will take dist cap off and have a look. Shou...

Thanks Mick... Ive got a timing light (never used it though!) so will check that when I work out how to do it without the engine running. Im trying to think logically about it and am guessing I attach it to the battery +/- and number 1 plug lead, ignition on, somehow hand crank till the timing marks...

Forgot to say, if anyone doesnt know, the Edelbrock web site has detailed installation and owners manuals for all of their products that can be saved and/ or printed off if needed.

Cheers, Steve

Gents, Thank you very much for these very practical suggestions! Ive printed Daves message so I can work methodically through each step as it sounds like you have experienced exactly what I have (except my car stops dead after a few seconds). Im going to clean and examine everything and see how I ge...
