I think you will find that the seal resides in the smooth area and if you hone the cylinder to clean it up the rebuild kit will probably be fine. It only takes a few minutes so what have you go to lo

I can guess how you got the fan switch out, I finally gave up on mine and used the BFH approach, actually a screw driver from the front to pop off the switch and then force the wire hanger out the b

Chris, try removing the whole turn signal light assembly from the fender and making sure that there is a good connection between the screws and the fender. This is where the light grounds to the body

The wipers in my 72B roadster are two speed and work fine in the rain and we have lots of it in Western Oregon. The wiper arm springs finally rusted through and I had to replace them a year or so ag

I think the general consensus on rebuilding the brake master cylinder is to buy a new or rebuilt one rather that try to rebuild it yourself. That was the advise I was given by a good lbc mechanic an

I don't recall ever seeing a torque setting for studs, but I have always cleaned the threads and put them in tight. If you use a double nut to put them in you can tighten to approximately the same as

I have never taken my distributor out to change the points, maybe I'm shorter than you. I use a dwell meter and adjust while cranking. Then put the cap on and check while running. I usually have to

I agree about the little screws, but I don't use a feeler gauge at all, I just use a screw driver to open/close the points until the dwell is correct, tighten up the screw that holds the points in p

I have used easyouts a number of times. There are two kinds that I have used. The original type looks like a coarse screw with reversed threads and the newer (to me) kind looks like a tapered square
