Hudson eight 34 crankcase bolt

JACK356 — Tue, 21 Sep 2021 06:46:43 +0000

Tapez votrI recently dismantled the housing of my Hudson survivor of 34.This vehicle has never been disassembled I precise. I have removed the crankcase; cleaned and repainted. I removed the bolts which was very greasy. While cleaning; I realized that 6 of the bolts had a brass washer and the others did not. Do they have to be mounted in a well-specified place? If you could answer my question;thank youe message

1969 Big Bad Green AMX

Lee ODell — Fri, 27 Mar 2015 22:04:49 +0000

Thought I would share a video of the 1969 Big Bad Green AMX my uncle Rex O'Dell bought new and he let me buy it in 1980. Twenty five years later it was time to let it go last year. AMX is in the good hands of someone, Kenny, who is making improvements turning it into a more stunning AMX. I'm glad it now belongs to someone who will take good care of it. Kenny just found this video on You Tube 1969 Big Bad Green AMX and sent me the information. Hope you enjoy as much as I. This is the same all original AMX I had mentioned in past post that I drove up to 135 mph on a late night impulse run on freeway. It was still pulling when I decided this was fast as I care to push it. At a later date, after a speeding ticket, I took the AMX to North Hollywood Speedometer to verify speedometer accuracy. Turns out it reads slow and I was told I was really going 155 mph. Also, driving easy the mpg was 19.7 miles per gallon. Kind of getting best of both worlds. Performance and gas mileage.

1960 Rambler rear-end needed

Kdancy — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 08:19:54 +0000

A friend of mine just sent me this note-

  I have
an old friend who is one of the top upholstery guys here in town that has
a 60 Rambler Cross Country wagon that needs a rear end.  Torque tube
setup makes for no easy interchanges and he fried the housing.  Any ideas
for where to get a decent or rebuild-able used one?

1966 Rambler Classic 550

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 02:44:47 +0000

I have just recently purchased a 1966 Rambler Classic 550 with a 232 in-line 6 cylinder. I was actually able to drive it to my brother's house. It was quite an adventure driving it as the brakes were not working well. It has a rebuilt engine that sounds good and it has a two-speed automatic. Appears the automatic came from the factory. It has d2 and d1 on the shift column. The Rambler also has an air cooled torque converter. It is a light blue but I don't think it is the balboa aqua. It looks as though it had been painted over once. The color is pretty close to original. It would be hard to see the difference when opening the door or hood to see if the jambs were a different color. Once the brakes are worked out and the upholstery covered on the seats, and of course the tires changed out, it should make for a nice ride. I will be using it as a daily driver. It has all 4 hubcaps and a chrome badge on the car that says giorgio. It also has the badging 232-6. The word Rambler on the trunk and the word classic on the back. Complete words with no letters missing. Some other word on each fender. There are some old parts out of the rebuilt engine in the trunk. Parts like the pistons and camshaft and timing chain and even an old distributor cap. The brakes are "real man" brakes. No power assist. It doesn't look like the front bench seat folds back. It does have power steering. It also has a two barrel carter carburetor on it. Vacuum lines to run the wipers. A rubber bag that is used to clean the windshield. Odometer reads 48 thousand and some change. No tilt steering and no radio. Came from the factory that way. It does have an ashtray but no lighter. The lighter socket is there, just no lighter. I will post more information as more information is available. What does the giorgio stand for? If someone can answer that I would appreciate it.

AMC Spring compressor

SuperDave — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 08:30:50 +0000

While at an car meet in Cocoa Florida This Saturday,I had a conversation with Dale Mixon of the First Coast AMC Club (in Florida.) He is makeing a spring compressor that is better and much cheaper than the factory version. I am told that it's inpossible to replace bushings without first removeing the springs.. which can be dangerous!. I don't have a contact address for him, but maybe going through the First Coast Club you could connect with him. It sounded like a tool that should be in your tool box if you do your own maintenance.

63 impala wiring nightmare. help!

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 04:01:21 +0000

Im working on a 63 impala. My problem is the Blower motor doesn't work on low or medium. There is Power to the switch, and all relative switch terminals, the blower resistor was soldered back together for low speed. All the wiring diagrams I have found are not specific enough. If anyone has any ideas or a proper diagram please let me know.
