    Msd 5 box with stock electronic distributor

    Supposedly when used with a MSD the points trigger the box but don’t have the same electrical load and last way longer. Read this years ago when I needed to fix up an old ford.

    Rolling mouse/rat trap or the traditional spring loaded ones?

    I go oldskool spring trap for a quick clean kill. I need em dead but I don’t like needless suffering. I’ve had luck with them set up with a little peanut butter. That said since I’ve been some kind of cat savior it’s not really an issue now, the other day one of them left the biggest rat I’ve...

    Repro brake lines on the axle or just buy generic from parts store?

    I grabbed my wrenches and quickly slid under the car to assess the situation, turns out there was no problem loosening all the lines on the rear at all, at either end. I then tightened them up and went to work on the stereo :p Just wasn't in the mood to do the brakes today.

    Well I bought one of the most 1970s things for my Coronet, an AM/FM/CB

    Well its in but not wired, it somehow took me way to long to just get it in the dash. I need to decide how I want the rest of the dash to look before I go a bunch further. I'm not even sure if I like that top piece of trim that's loosely in place right now.

    Well I bought one of the most 1970s things for my Coronet, an AM/FM/CB

    Well if I stumbled on an 8 track player that day instead of this maybe I would grabbed it, I do have a small collection of 8 track tapes a coworker sent me. I printed a faceplate for it today, if it works out then I’ll have a company reprint it in ABS, the stuff I used might not survive summer.

    Help with brakes

    What would that look like?

    Well I bought one of the most 1970s things for my Coronet, an AM/FM/CB

    It works! It even pulls in some CB chatter and this was just with a drillbit as the FM antenna and a mag mount CB antenna on my washing machine. Here is a clip, hopefully I don't get a copyright strike.

    Repro brake lines on the axle or just buy generic from parts store?

    Yeah I don’t care at all about correct in the factory correct sense of the word. Just clean and functional. I’ve done it once or twice before, most recently on a 1965 Karman Ghia that had a line bust as I drove down a slight hill. I have the crappy flare tool but one practice run and attention...

    Repro brake lines on the axle or just buy generic from parts store?

    Any idea on what size to ask for? Or just walk in with the wheel cylinder and find whatever screws into it (assuming its the same fitting for the distribution block on the axle)?

    Repro brake lines on the axle or just buy generic from parts store?

    Hopefully the weather will let me do the rear brakes on my 69 Coronet with an 8.25 read diff next weekend. I'm anticipating the worst, which is the line getting damaged where it meets the wheel cylinder when I try to remove it, so I want to be prepared. The rubber line is new but the metal lines...

    I got myself a Christmas present today.

    I looked at Torino’s a bit before I found my Coronet, I have a 72 Ranchero and figure a proper coupe on that platform would be nice. Always liked the look of them.

    Well I bought one of the most 1970s things for my Coronet, an AM/FM/CB

    I started to look at doing that, then remembered I have a 3D printer. I'm going back and forth over which approach to take, if I decide I want to angle it any then 3D, but if a simple flat panel does the job then metal. I'll be playing with cardboard this weekend to help make up my mind. The...

    Well I bought one of the most 1970s things for my Coronet, an AM/FM/CB

    Yep will look there as plan B. I have 3 truck stops within 5 miles of my house with CB stuff that I will check first, be nice if I can get it locally.

    Well I bought one of the most 1970s things for my Coronet, an AM/FM/CB

    I looked at the wiring a bit during lunch (benefit of WFH) and it uses two antennas. It came with a bit of harness that belongs to a mystery car and this thing for the radio antenna. I'm guessing its some kind of noise suppressor that appears separate from the Kraco kit. It also has a wire...

    Well I bought one of the most 1970s things for my Coronet, an AM/FM/CB

    Yep! I remember that being one of the first things I learned about them back in the 80s. I've had a few and always liked the technology and enjoyed the one time I fixed a thrift shop find and made my own antenna that went a few miles using coax and a tree. After that didn't really feel like...

    Well I bought one of the most 1970s things for my Coronet, an AM/FM/CB

    Well the nice part is it will fit in the dash in the regular radio location, which is currently a gaping hole.

    Well I bought one of the most 1970s things for my Coronet, an AM/FM/CB

    Just when I was about to give up on finding something that seemed era correct to me (and I wasn't gonna spend the crazy money for a stock radio) I came across this. It's missing the mic but hopefully its a standard plug. Sold as untested but lights up, I usually have good luck with vintage...

    Modern seat applications for 69 charger

    Probably, it was a regular sedan I checked out in the JY when I discovered that. You can kind of see it in this pic.
