    8BA Tapping

    Come to think of it, I never retorqued the header bolts after it ran for awhile. I'll check there first. Thanks!

    8BA Tapping

    So I've had an open pipe that terminated under the back seat on my '52 Mainline since I got it and I just installed dual exhaust and a pair of Brockman Mellowtones. It sounds great but now I can hear every rattle and clang. There's a tapping sound that's louder on the driver's side that I never...

    Agree with this. I did the same and it works perfectly. This is the one: https://www.amazon.com/Airtex-E8902-Universal-Electric-Fuel/dp/B005E9DKWW

    Hagerty insurance ?

    Hagerty here too. I've never filed a claim with them but the onboarding was quick and easy and the service has been great.

    catalog

    Mac's has a nice, thorough print catalog but they're a mixed bag in terms of service. I got my windows from them and it was quick and painless but my last order of gaskets and seals never showed up after 2 weeks. I emailed and they told me they would get back to me in 4-5 days so I called...

    Possible Starter Problem?

    Holy hell. Replaced both battery cables, cleaned up the mating surface of the starter and it turned over like a champ. Thanks for the help! Saved me a lot of money and headaches.

    Possible Starter Problem?

    I did this and definitely got improved voltage through the solenoid. The cable was completely corroded once I got it out and inspected it. I’ll try with the starter next and see what happens.

    Possible Starter Problem?

    I searched around and I can't find anything that lines up with what I'm seeing. This is a '52 stock 8BA. I recently had an issue where I would turn the key and get nothing from the starter. I have an electric fuel pump on a switch and it would come on but, turn the key, and no clicks or...

    Quarantine work

    Ran a new ignition wire to replace the one the crapped out and replaced all 4 sets of brake shoes, cylinders, and hoses. Got a tip on the HAMB that the 68 Mustang front drums fit the 52/53 and are only $28. Those should come in this week so I can button it up and get back on the road.

    Calling all Transmission Gurus

    I had a hell of a time with my '52 trans because I refused to read the directions and thought "Well, assembly is the reversal of disassembly so..." After installing the cluster and having no way to get the input shaft into the case and punching the cluster shaft out and hearing all those...
