Honk!

one of 738 produced. full ccca classic

Hudson.

I converted my 1971 Monte Carlo to a Pertronix unit 24 years ago and it has been flawless since.

There's no reason to put an HEI on a nailhead. They are too large, ugly to look at and are less reliable than a stock distributor with a Pertronix conversion kit installed. This is only my opinion of course........other opinions may vary.

Got the batteries load tested and both are bad. Just like you guy said. Got a new batterie. It still just turns the bendix gear but doesn't turn the flywheel. I didn't monkey with the bendix gear when I cleaned the starter and replaced the brushes.

Is this motor still available?

From some family photos my wife found recently. The photo is out of focus as originally taken. I have no clue what it might be.

Some pictures need no explanation…

This Victory Six is currently in the "Not Mine" cars for sale forum - LINK Not what you're sking, but it shows there is availability

What is the button for on the gear shift?

Marmon Herrington trucks have distinct badging on the hood and dashboard. I don't see holes in the hood for this badging on this truck. The windows look crudely cut also. I would venture to guess its not a Marmon Herrington.

What is that green button on top of the trans selection buttons?

Yesterday and today was spent getting the engine running. It had very low compression many years ago and I pulled it and put a replacement in about 12 years ago. I talked to the guy that I bought it from and he said that that engine ran good and may have been rebuilt before he got the car. So during COVID lockdown I went over the engine and got the compression back up and when I was working on the FOR I pulled the engine that I put in it 12 years ago. This engine is what the car was titled with so I wanted it back in the car. Yesterday I fired it up and it ran good for a few seconds, then ran out of gas. After working on the fuel pump I got it running again but the more I ran it the worse it got. Today I noticed the centrifugal advance on the distributor was not working right. So apart it came and cleaned everything up and now it fires up on the touch of the starter button. I also installed a seat and added brake fluid and drove it around my lot today. Did a little work on the top bows and also got the bumper back for the '90 T Bird. Lots to do!

Congrats on your new purchase. As Ed said, when both seller and buyer are happy it was a good deal.

I have the original title with the envelope it came in for my 35 Buick but the envelope is post marked 1934.

Back in the late sixties we had one of the sedans like this traded into our Toyota dealership. I just couldn't cozy up to it. It smoked and made funny noises. They weren't very big either. Now I'm thinking it would be kind of neat to own one.

How do these cars steer in a parking lot? They are a big car and don't have power steering.

Contact Sergio Martinez on the site. I believe he is reproducing them

At least it is available and didn’t have to fab one up. Mike

You might get it to go faster but that also puts more stress on the mechanical parts.
