Re: Is this an example that requires technical bulletin front shock repair?
In the BaT listing, it looks to me that from picture #197, in the lower left-hand corner, you can see the appropriate welding has been neatly done. Nice car. There will always be a million things to do, but one thing I would get after is to repair and protect that battery tray from the apparent rust...

Re: Gasoline and fuel filter housings 2 questions
Thanks Tom, My gray canister has a yellow sticker, not a stencil. It seems to me I got it sometime ago from Kilimanjaro. Thanks again Steve.

Re: Gasoline and fuel filter housings 2 questions
To the Pros from Dover: Thanx again. I am glad not to fool around with any sort of coatings inside the housing. I will just be bead blast it once more and we'll it give it a go. Thanks again, Steve.

Re: Gasoline and fuel filter housings 2 questions
Thanks Dyke, The station that has the 87 ethanol free did have 92 ethanol free, but they discontinued it because they couldn't sell enough to make any money. I was probably one of the few people who bought it! I'll give the 87 a try with some octane booster. Thanks, s.

Gasoline and fuel filter housings 2 questions
Some years ago, I noted what I thought was rust and corrosion within the fuel filter housing of my 330 GTC. I cleaned up the inside of the housing and painted it with a fuel tank preserver called "Red -Kote". About two or three years later, I discovered that the "Red-Kote" material had come off, and...

Re: Testing a zero pressure radiator cap
A little follow up here. I just pressure tested the entire system, exerting pressure at the overflow tank and found that the radiator cap is perfectly fine. My problem is a leak in the middle of the radiator itself. So, question answered! I just wish it would've been the cap, and not the radiator! T...

Testing a zero pressure radiator cap
I suspecct that the zero pressure radiator cap on my GTC is leaking. How do i test this? There is obviously pressure in the radiator from the hot coolant, so there must be a specification forr that cap, even though the cap itself is not exerting pressure. Any advice? Thanks, Steve.

Re: Daytona AC Belts
Since this discussion began in the late fall, my Daytona turned one of the AC belts over and shredded the other one to bits. It also did modest damage to the alternator belt. So we went back with the O'Reilly brand belt.#157270. As I said before, there is some subtle length differences in belts, des...

Re: Well, we need a first post of 2024….
Kevin and I and many others on this website have become friends vis-à-vis our shared love of these old cars. I've known about Fasthound 's GTC since it was purchased. Even though he's a graduate of the University of Michigan, he's a really good guy! I couldn't possibly mention all the people on this...

Re: Daytona AC Belts
Not sure if O'Reilly carries Dayco; I don't think so, but not certain. At any rate, exchanges with them were really easy, I should know ....I made five different trips with various belts. My car now knows the way to their store by heart! Stay in touch. Good luck, Steve

Re: Daytona AC Belts
Drew. I just went through this PITA with my 1972 American Daytona #14599. One of my belts just shred and was illegible, the other one we measured as best we could, and ultimately, we settled on two of these: A/C Belts=Gates/O’Reily/MasterPro 7270 (7/16 X 27 13/16) Alterator=7340. However the rearmo...

Re: TY Party @ Greenspans
I just came across this announcement for Tom's party, tho' I wouldn't have been able to make it anyhow. Although it would have been a treat to see other members of the gang, by far the biggest calling card would have been Michael's wife Dorie's World class cooking. Just in case anyone missed this mo...
