Kids how about these: Plentiful..I measure a strong 1 7/8"

If it were me I would get a 1 wire GM 12si style alternator. It has an internal regulator. You run your 6g wire to the positive boss on the drivers fender. Your original regulator will overheat. Select an alternator with the rear plug for your original blue/white wiring so your ammeter or warning light will function. These are all New Made in USA: Alternators & Generators at Summit Racing

All we need to do is put some foam insulation there. Here's a car under penance of my ownership: The stell tube that surrounds the steering shaft has perfect hole in it. I spray some light oil on the shaft so upcoming foam breaks smooth from the shaft. Spray expandable foam in there. Two five second blasts in the last picture. That's plenty. 5 minutes. 5 dollars. They even have black foam now.

Maybe an old body shop went under? My skeptical mind has me guessing parts like this had a fitment/manufacture had a defect in the first place, as it was ordered and never used for a reason. Also, NOS doesn't mean it won't require the same or similar prep for dings scratches dents on a 50 plus YO part. Good used = maybe 400? Shipping cost if needed is the same new or used. If one needs it and installs, it's no longer new anymore. How much are short lived bragging rights worth? I'd take the safer route and purchase used from a trusted vendor that will give me an accurate eyeball regarding sheet metal.

just roll flat stock and tack weld to desired sized diameter It'll cost about a dollar

The last picture with finger pointing is for windshield wiper hose The 2nd with the vacuum hoses in hand last probably goes to the STV (the upright tube withe the flying saucer on top), and the diaphragm ( the sideways flying saucer) with the blue silicone around it. Need to do some tracing but hoses look dry rotted and will need replacing. These are AC and heat hoses. The top picture with the triangle of bolt holes and loose pigtail is for cruise control. You will know this car inside out by the end of this project! Also.. You need a factory service manual LOL

Looks like Marlin Blue with White...Nice and have fun

Paul all three yrs were fully chromed but with body color over them other than the ledge at the top.

It's under the hood. Drivers side cowl.

Nice. Aways stuck a little piece of paper or 2 inside of the socket and pressed the bolt in with my thumb for that one..

Bob, I left the cowl grills unpainted to match the rechromed escutcheons Gene G @abandg set me up with. As we know, they had the grills painted from the factory other than the uppermost lip. The tool worked great and no more surprise scratches and gouges from screwdrivers, needlenose pliers and snap ring removers. Steve

After years of frustration with the wiper arms. It's a ground down lawn mower spark plug remover. No more scratches.

Sounds like your friend is reinforcing Craig's dirty gasket story, not negating it. Anyway, no Q-Tips to be found in my tool box. Count me out. 😆

I think by AWOL he means missing

Auto Agent, In answer to your question, the addition of dual edelbrocks is very popular with those converting from a single 4 bbl.

Your Gran Sport has aftermarket carburetors. Your numbers match everywhere but the carbs, apparently.

This is the way. Spin the engine 8-10 seconds to load the bearing surfaces with oil. Set the choke by putting the accelerator pedal to the floor and releasing slowly. The carb bowl is now full. Car will start right up. Every. Single. Time.

Finally got one, by the time it delivers it will be 4 months. 529 shipped.

Moose, did you find a solution? Also, you are certainly free to post questions that have been answered in the past. Perhaps others have a fix besides than those recorded that may better suit you. Or maybe there are newer members that have not seen the older posts: they might have something insightful to add or a fix not yet described. Just because somebody did it doesn't mean it can't be done better/easier/cheaper/quicker. Or for that matter, that it's the only or best way. Beautiful car and great color combo, by the way. Steve

No drain plug. Use a hand operated siphon pump only. Not electric. It's not a huge operation to drop the tank Its your best chance to clean it out. If you take it out remove the sending unit and put a length of chain in the tank. Start shaking. Rinse and repeat.

Steve what is the severity of your vibration? Is the whole car shaking? If you put a cup of water on the dash is it spilling or is it a ripple? all the nailheads I've owned have a jiggle here and there. They are not modern day engines. Steve 9236

Your rattling might be clumps of dried up glue between the outside and inside trunk panels

found one place: Sanders Repro Glass about 450 shipped, any recent dealings with this or any other company for a tinted windshield? Thanks, Steve

Mr AG it looks like you have a 63 with red interior what color is the outside may I ask? Thanks, Steve

If the guy has it working properly off the firewall as opposed to under the accelerator rod as original, it's slick. He even has a little roller bearing in the middle of the clevis pin. Slick. Maybe he did it to run that heavy spring along the intake where the dogdick would of been originally installed. Just slick. That is all. I didn't think a switch pitch was referenced?
