    1968 Marchal lights

    Rob, I think you may know that my car has a factory voided VIN of 131680 as per the attached that someone here sent me - Just can't remember who. I am not sure how the GNS cars fit in with the GT/CS cars I see your GNS on the sheet that i took the snip from. The paint code on yours is Y5 and...

    1968 Marchal lights

    My Marchal Lights Pictures attached. Mine do not seem to point down. I have aimed them a little lower than the low beams. Honestly, I do not use them as I don't drive it in the fog:icon_lol:

    For Sale For Sale Near Me

    Guess it is a knock-off. If the VIN in the listing is correct, it is a Dearborn built car.

    For Sale For Sale Near Me

    Here is one for sale. However, it may be a knock-off. The rear quarter script is too high above the reflector. Fog lights do not look right. What first caught my eye were the stripes. The GT/CS letters cut-out on the scoop are too small. And, the rear quarter end cap striping is all wrong...

    1966-67 HCS running hot & ignition timing

    Sounds good. How does it behave at say, 75-80* ambient temperature? At 5,000 feet altitude, do you get that many 90* days?

    1966-67 HCS running hot & ignition timing

    I agree with you Neil 100%. Four seasons but non of them harsh. In 2011 we bought a lot in a mountain community in Mills River outside of Asheville. We had plans for a house and had a builder but got cold feet about leaving our only child back in Chicago with no other family. I have been...

    1966-67 HCS running hot & ignition timing

    Well, the Chicago area is perfect also except for the weather. Oh, and high taxes. Oh, and the high housing prices. Oh, and the state so very deep in debt. Oh, and one last thing - corrupt politicians. What the hell am I doing here?

    1966-67 HCS running hot & ignition timing

    You are fortunate to be able to drive all year round. In Chicago, Wile the roads may be dry in the winter, there is salt residue all over them. Four years ago when I had a '55 Chevy, we had heavy rains around New Years. Washed all the salt off the road and then not a flake of snow for six...

    1966-67 HCS running hot & ignition timing

    Rob, While agree with most of what you say, I have read multiple articles that state Ford engine engineers found that the late 60's V8s were the most efficient and produced lower harmful emissions at the higher temps and that 205-215 were okay on a hot day. That is why in the mid sixties most...

    1966-67 HCS running hot & ignition timing

    Not sure what you mean by a hand held temperature gauge. Do you mean a "gun" where you point it at the engine, pull the trigger and it tells you the temp? If so, here are my comments/questions: 1) 215 is not real hot for a 289. 215 working it hard on a 90 degree day is not dangerously high...

    1968 8 Track

    From what I have seen, if you find an AM/FM 1968 8-track, it will cost you more than you paid for your car. :wink: Would love to have one though

    I take a look once or twice a week. Mostly to check the classifieds. Not looking to buy. Just curious. Activity has indeed dropped off in the 18 months since I reactivated my account. Probably the Facebook page has been a contributing cause. I joined the FB group but do not go there often...

    For Sale Fake for sale on Cheesebay

    I assume you mean a fake GT/CS. Granted that according to the VIN, this car did start life as a six cylinder. And, there were some 6 cylinder GT/CS cars made. So, am I missing some other clue(s)

    Where did you get the 10-Spokes? What size are the tires? No Clearance issues? I am still contemplating getting 10-spokes.
