I'm currently in the middle of an insurance claim with Hagerty. For ref., see Classic Cars and Cell Phones Don't Mix Well When things finally get sorted out, I'll let you know how it went. I actually just brought the car to my bodyman yesterday. I have 2 vehicles insured with Hagerty, with the...

I installed the same damper on my 426W a few years back. It was a tight fit, but it went on OK using the balanccer bolt with washer. One thing to know though, your bottom pully will not be in the stock location (allignment) with your other pullies. Any where from 1/8 to 3/8 inch offset. I uesd a...

FYI - 1960 - 1962 Chryslers also used this setup. Coolest dash of any car produced.

I'd love to go - but even though we're in the same province, google maps say's there's 600k between us. Maybe next time. LOL.

Back in the 80's I decided to build a drag car. First time ever. I sourced a 454 LS7 (13.5 comp) that was resting in a buick of all things. I'd never opened an engine before. I striped the engine down, put new rings and bearings in it, new cam / lifters, stock bore, polished the rod beams, 3...

Denso 234-5136 Got it at Rock Auto. Cost was about $50 a few years ago.

I have an AEM gauge installed. It works well, but the supplied Bosch sensor failed almost immediately. AEM would not come good for it, even though gauge was still under warranty. An internet search confirms that Bosch sensors are problematic and are replaced often. I replaced my sensor with a...

Thanks for the reply. The lenses are pretty easy to source. The rings and main bezel however, are a challange. I went to the Vans website to see about the rings, but they are not listed anymore. If I come to a complete dead end, I'll send you a note. Appreciate this. Charlie

It was Kevin actually....

Appreciate the effort. Thanks.

I saw this - he's on my list to contact. Thanks.

Thanks Dave. I was aware of the differences and it can be somewhat tricky to get this right. I'd be looking to get the "flat" ones since I have the big base plate.

Thanks for this. Appreciate it. I can PM you with additional contact info if needed.

The rear tail light assemblies are are basically 3 parts - lenses, lense bezels and the main bezel. Lenses appear to be ok, but I need to remove for inspection before I'm certain. For sure I'll need the main bezels and a few lens bezels.

Met with the appraiser yesterday. Meeting went well. He has 31 years experience and has dealt with classic cars a lot. I'm thinking this claim is going in the right direction and although it's still early in the process, I've got good vibes about it. We'll see, however, how this plays out in the...
