Alan,

Thanks for the info. Next time I'm out and about I'll look for something like this.

Got mr passenger window back from the glass shop again -- never to go back. They got the window secured in the track, but didn't finish filling the channel with glue. What can I use to finish the job?

Love the way the Scoop is printed. Sure am glad that you are now able to put in some color pictures.

It's been a bit since I checked in. But if you have a part number try Green Sales. If they have one it will say on their site and then you'll have to call them to get a price and order one.

Another question, I was driving my 69 with the cruise set at 65. i drove over a bridge that had a noticeable bump at the edge of it. Hitting this bump caused the cruise to disconnect. i hit the rsume button and it came back to the previous setting. Is this a sign of a weak relay, brake switch or sho...

I have access to the '68 wiring diagram. I went to NAPA's web site and they have a picture of what I need. I'm beginning to think that the STA terminal isn't marked and mine is broken. I'd have to drop by the store and see it for real. My next choice is to have mine rebuilt or buy new. From what I h...

I went out today to run the wire from the electric choke to the STA terminal on the alternator. I could only find these connections. BAT, GRD, FLD. I don't see a STA terminal. The shop manual shows the terminal just up from the BAT, but there is not one there. It also says there should be a black/wh...

From what I've been told, this is standard for these cars. Need to accelerate about 3-5mph faster than you want. Hit the set button, the car will slow down, and then speed up to where you want it. I've noticed that mine comes back to within 1mph of where I set it.

I'm asking 70.00 and I pay shipping. Excellent condition, both books. The big blue one plus the wiring diagrams.

I came across a new problem the other day when I drove my 69 Fordor to work. Got on the highway and started to feel a vibration through the steering wheel, and the rest of the car. I could also almost hear it. At first I thoght it was the road, but it isn't. Also it sounded like the fan was hitting ...

Thanks Alan, That's the stuff I was thinking of.

I'm getting ready to redo the console. What's the best way to redo the felt in the seat belt holders and inside the armrest? Should I use glue and felt material or is there something I can spray in there?

I will look into the distrubtor. Last year I went round and round with Pony Carbs. They rebuilt my 4300 and I could never get it to lean out. It ran so rich I wound up replacing the fouled out plugs in less than 500 miles. I now have a Holley (80457s) on it now and it runs a lot better. The plugs I'...

It just turned over 70,000. I'm also leaning towards the carbon build up. Around town I have no problem with it pinging no matter how long I drive it. However, if I'm on the highway, after I get off, it will ping under accelleration. What can i do to see how much carbon is built up in it, and how do...
