  1. The rebuild kit I put into mine has a bearing unit that the to pieces mate to. I believe that was what was originally there but can’t be absolutely sure as it was 4 years ago when done. Ray
  2. What Ed said is true. Idler arms were rebuildable and I rebuilt mine. I believe Cars was the source for the kit. I believe that replacement units that ‘are not’ rebuildable are still available and probably from Cars. Center links are rebuildable if you can source the ball joints. I’ve never come across a post with a part number for these, here or anywhere else. My ball joints and upper control arms seem to still be in proper order but I did replace the boots on the ball joints using “universal” boots from one of the urethane manufacturers. You could do the same on the tie rod’s ball joints to the center link but as far as I know, there is no shim between the tie rods and link. Ray
  3. https://www.powerbrakebooster.com/shop/brake-booster-boots Should be a good start. Ray
  4. Maybe a doubled up piece of tape at that area, than remove before fully seating the trim piece? Ray
  5. They are nicely done and I’ll be replacing mine as soon as I get time to pull the unit. Ray
  6. John it’s just the cigarette element used to light one up. Pull usb, insert element, back to 1963. Ray
  7. Dakota Digital multi-gauge oil/volt/temp, usb, and Rostra cruise control. Plug-in usb in passenger socket with cig lighter in glovebox. Close ashtray door and swap usb/lighter and interior looks stock. Ray
  8. My response was due to lack of members discussing an EV exchange and not his exploring such. Not something I would consider on our cars but it would be an interesting swap. I have been involved with putting a pair of Mazda wankle engines in a boat before and that was a project. Lighter weight but gas hogs. Ray
  9. I think he was on the wrong forum for his project. Ray
  10. Stateside in North Carolina. If you come up with a way to include it into something coming your way, let me know and I’ll ship there. Ray
  11. You want the whole 4GC carburetor from a 63? It was fine when I pulled it a couple years ago and it did a cross country trip right before removal. Just pay the shipping. Ray
  12. Just bought a ‘66 spread bore intake with a rebuilt 66 Quadrajet. Didn’t brake the bank either. I’d looked at TA’s intake but the ‘66 seemed the better choice for me. Will use it on the spare 401 nailhead that’s next year’s project. Ray
  13. http://centervilleautorepair.com/ Should have them. Ray
  14. You might want to rethink the use of those intake gaskets. Look at Matt’s Tech articles as to why using block offs for the carb heat ports is a good thing. http://centervilleautorepair.com/ Ray
  15. I am almost 2 years into trying to get a couple of these filters. WIX was the last manufacturer of these filters that I can deduce. No one that I have contacted, more than I can remember, have these in stock. With all of the auto order bots that everyone uses today, you aren't going to get a real time response on these filters. They'll take the order then cancel it when their supplier gets back to them with “no gratis”. Fortunately I do have a spare one, but wanted to get a couple more. I see a 16”x3” being ordered in the near future. I’m going to drive the wheels off by car. Was the plan when I bought it and still is. Ray
