    1968 Need help from the engine gurus.....

    Rob, I have it set up right. It occurred to me that both coils could be bad. I almost bought a replacement Petronix coil to test last month, but all they had was chrome. I didn't want to spend $50 on that. The original coil I have been substituting in came with the car. The car ran pretty...

    1968 Need help from the engine gurus.....

    Alright, I have been out of town for most of the past 6 weeks. I haven't had time to work on the car until today. I took out the Petronix and put in new points and gapped it properly. Put in old coil. Now it won't start at all. I Rob suggested, I ran a wire from the battery to the coil. It...

    1968 Need help from the engine gurus.....

    So the car show I was getting ready for, The Run to the Pines in Pinetop AZ was last weekend. The GTCS stayed home, bit I went anyway. The funny thing is, of the 4 guys I go with, only one car made it this year. My Grandfather is in town so we worked on it this afternoon. He is pretty handy...

    1968 Need help from the engine gurus.....

    Thanks for the suggestions. The battery cable is snug. I took the car in to put it on a diagnostic machine. The timing was advanced 18 degrees. It appears the triangle holding the distributor in place was not tight and it may have been bumped forward. Engine on, the battery was at 14.3 volts...

    For Sale Pair of Lucas LR 8 Fog Lights

    For Sale - a pair of Lucas LR 8 fog lights. Good condition. The chrome has some small scratches here and there. One light has had it's wiring cut, but there is still a lot of wire left. These are "foreign glass" units. The bolts are in good condition. I was told they worked when I bought...

    1968 Hemmings, AutoTrader, eBay, here, craigslist, etc?

    I really like Bring A Trailer. You can set a reserve. The sale prices tend to be on the lower side, but the bids are legitimate since bidders have to pay a fee to bid. As with any auction, high quality cars bring good money. They always have interesting cars for sale on that site. I have...

    For Sale 1968 GT/CS on SF CL

    I agree with Rob. The underside looks good. I also agree with Don, in that rust can be an issue in CA cars. Mine was from San Jose and had a spot about the size of a nickel at the base of the rear window in the corner. It was completely under the trim so it wasn't visible until the car was...

    For Sale C code on Ebay

    The vinyl top should be listed on the Marti report. The color of the top should be noted as well. While not the most popular color, I get compliments on mine all the time.
