About post #7 and my 1963 fire. I had a leaking gas gauge and was removing the dash panel to fix it. I did not know that the wires behind the panel were old and frayed. I disturbed one of the wires when I removed the panel and one of them shorted and started a huge smoky fire. My friend was...

Thanks glad to hear it was a small amount of sand. My engine was cleaned carefully also.

Suggestion: 1. Replace the old rotten and frayed wire loom before it catches on fire. 2. Install a fuse in the car. I did both of these after an electrical fire in the coupe. That was 1963 and have not a problem since then. By the way. It is very common for the cheap Chinese stop switches to...

I have a Repro Winfield 7.0 to 1 head from about ten years ago or so. I bought it new this is the head that Tod Buttermore cast as a REPRO Winfield head in cast iron. Has "Winfield" cast on top of head. As I remember the chambers are different than original Winfield heads. As I remember Tod...

My block was built with Kleisen sp? or Nettes pump. Burtz pump not available at build time. Pump in engine is too small so oil pressure drops to 0.5 or so at idle (480 RPM) with VR-1 20-W50 oil. Note engine has to be completely warmed up before pressure drops that low. Note: That is a 15 mile...
