thanks for info guys

(are there any gals on this forum?)

i just couldn't locate this

gas sender grommet anywhere in NPD

iowa

hi

i'm talking about the rubber grommets

that the fuel lines go thru in the shock towers

and the electrical wire that goes across the upper

back part of the gas tank

and then exits thru the hole and down to the

gas sending unit on the gas tank

there is a rubber gommet here also

are they the same?

iowa

hmmmmm..

no one knew about this 'gap?'

how about this one:

are the grommets for the shock tower fuel lines

the same one as used in the trunk area for the

gas sending wire?

thanks

iowa

here is the part in NPD catalog page 113

is it the right one?

thanks for the email

looks like a great Kar

wished i'd seen it B-4 i bought my current one

will give it some thot

Dave

thanks for all the trouble to scan them!

really appreciate it!

BTW, i just use Adobe Acrobat program

and scan color documents or photos to PDF files.

works great,

but, of course, the Adobe program

(not Adobe Reader, which is free)

is pretty $$$$$$$$

thanks again

i remember removing the dash pad from my K kar

and wasn't to lucky to find such a sheet

Iowa

A little humor for my day!!

i have the book

but need a good 'exploded' view

that shows every detail

iowa

it's on page 113

and says that it is for the later 5.0 engines

the bell H bolt pattern is the same

so should fit on our 302 block etc.

after having restored:

'63 VW beatle (1st car!)

'56 vette

'42 wwii ford jeep

'42 wwii willys jeep

'44 wwii WLA motorcycle

'66 mustang (my son's, a partial restoration)

i have found the secret to set a 'tiny' goal for each day!

a lot of days this means just doing a bit of reasearch

for what you'll be doing the next day.

it this slow 'chipping away' that gets the job done!!

iowa

i'll be bold and reply.

i don't think it matters what shape this car is in

unless he left it sit outside

and it has had further decline.

it is worth at least what you sold it for

and then a 'little more!!'

the 'little more' would be

the interest he lost during the time he owned it

and whatever 'blue sky' it would take for him to part w/it.

if you try to waggle him down from your original price

it would reflect bad on ya

now, if he was getting a divorce and needed to get rid of it....

(like my '56 vette i bought for 5K 30 yrs ago....)

just my 2 cents

iowa

could you post a picture?

iowa

i would be interested in seeing a photo

of this build sheet as well

thanks

iowa

does anyone have a picture of

the actual linkage to the carb lever?

thanks

iowa

on my son's '66

we painstakingly scraped all this undercoating off

thinking it was not original!

now i have a feeling it was

and we should have left it there

and simply painted over it

iowa

thanks

we'll check it out

iowa

we are going to use the standard clutch linkage setup

but are not sure the hole for the equalizer bar pivot

is in the right place.

we have an engine plug by the front arrow

and thot that the rear arrow indicates where

the placement aught to be

is this true?

we're wondering if this is a 302 block

and if it is,

how does one hook up the equalizer bar to the engine?

thanks

another Q

in the diagram below

what is the part indicated by the top arrow?

also, the encircled fraction is supposed to represent a 'gap'

what is this gap?

thanks

still looking for pics of the wire loom above radiator.

also, as we are doing my son's '66,

i am buying parts for my K kar.

does anyone have a picture that shows a bottom

view of the equalizer bar BELOW the exh manifold

where it hooks into the engine?

thanks

iowa

fred

what a great picture above

with all the labels etc.
