Last weekend I pulled the HCS out of storage. It had been sitting since late Oct. Other than adding STA-BIL to the gas and overinflating the tires, I did not touch the car the entire time it was in storage. Started the car up and the brake pedal went from being firm before storage to going...

I am working on getting the car ready for spring and racing season. Going through some old parts and stuff, I found a 1967 289 C code engine tag. I have no idea where this came from or why I have not noticed it before. Info is: 289 C 67 1 6-H 231-A If I have read it right...

About a month or so ago, Bob Teets joined me at our local drag strip. Two 1968 HCS's going up against one another. Bob brought his 428CJ and I had my modified J code. Here are a few pictures (pulled from a video of the race).

I brought my HCS to a car show in Littleton, Colorado this weekend. Huge show, approx 700 cars. I saw 2 "real" 68 CS's and 2 "CS recreations - a fastback and a convertible with a 428" along with approx 5 new CS's. I was sitting by my car and a guy comes up to me to chat. He was very familiar...

I have not gotten any reponses under the "Wiring Diagram" thread. Please, please, please can someone tell me the color of the wires that connect to the oil pressure gauge? I think they are black with white strip and White with red stripe. Also, does this type of gauge move around alot or...

EXP500 on the cover of the latest Hemmings Muscle Machines magazine. Have not read the article yet. Looks like they have 6 pages and several pictures. david

I can not tell you how much mental pain I am in right now. Without going into all the details of my restoration nightmare (I am feeling a little like David A must have over the years...David, you are my inspiration that there might be light at the end of the tunnel), Friday night I fried my...

Has anyone had any luck finding repo autolite batteries lately. I am looking for a Group 24 sealed one. The main manufacturer has gone out of business. They were selling for about $150. There is a guy in Ohio that makes them, but he sells them for closer to $250. Also, I am seeing two...
