hotrod68: Same here.

KevinW: Don't know what happened, but when I got on the web site, it just said 'discontinued'. Figures it would be when I decide to upgrade mine

Y'all take care,

lakeholme: Thanks again.

KurtS: Thanks - any particular lamp better than others, or recommended?

hotrod68: Thanks. Planned to do those tests this weekend if time permits (I'm one of those old farts,too ) - have an 88 year old family member that took a fall a few days ago and I'm spending most of my time with her.

Y'all take care,
Mike.

Howdy lakeholme, and thanks! What I've read recommends using relays. What's your opinion??

Originality / T3 Replacements?

« on: May 18, 2014, 04:45:40 PM »

Howdy all. Noticed Friday night on the way home from the cruise in my 69, that my T3's are rather dim. Since Lectric is no longer reproducing them, what would y'all recommend for a replacement? I don't plan on having it in a points show, so I'm after something that performs better than the T3's. Thanks in advance.

Y'all take care,
Mike.

Thanks JohnZ. Can't figure out how I managed to get that so discombobulated Been through the AIM twice (just got it Monday!), and missed that sketch.

Many thanks to y'all for the input. Got 'em off - unfortunately, the one on the air cleaner took a chunk of paint with it. Had to cover the bare metal up with the closest match on hand, which was semi-gloss. At least they came off.

Y'all take care,

Originality / 69 Coupe vacuum hose

« on: May 12, 2014, 06:34:21 PM »

Howdy all. My 69 is an unrestored 327/210; powerglide; PS; A/C car. At the rear of the intake is a vacuum fitting with 2 nipples - 1 to the A/C vacuum canister inside the L fender, and 1 to the tranny. The AIM doesn't have a clear pic of this (or a description), and  I'd like to double check it because I had to put a small hose clamp on the tranny tube side (after finding a split in the short non-orig. hose) due to not being able to get a hose that will fit over both nipples - they appear to be different sizes. Can anyone clear this up for me?? The space between the fitting & the steel tube from the tranny is only a couple inches. What am I missing here?

Y'all take care,
Mike (orig. owner ).

Originality / Incorrect stickers

« on: May 11, 2014, 02:39:29 AM »

Howdy all. Still reading, and see that I have a couple of incorrect stickers on my 69 - black & gold air cleaner sticker & green & white coolant sticker. Can't peel them without the paint coming too. What's the best, least damaging way to remove them?

Y'all take care,
Mike.

thanks 69Z28-RS. Not much chance - they're pretty well gone due to the rust, just a small part of the head left - which is why the original stove fell of somewhere . Thanks for the suggestion though.

Y'all take care,
Mike.

Thanks 69Z28-RS. I'd forgotten the distance was that close. We may do that, depending on the better half's physical stamina. Many thanks!

General Discussion / Source for correct rivets to install heat stove

« on: May 09, 2014, 04:27:20 AM »

Howdy all. As I said in an earlier post, I'd like to remove the ex manifolds to de-rust them and install a new heat stove. Does anyone have a source for the correct rivets (and the 1 small bolt - or screw?) to attach it? How about a good method of removal for the original rivets and bolt - screw?? Was thinking of trying to use a chisel to pry them out, or just cut 'em, drill 'em, and replace. I want to go this route because this is an unrestored original . Ideas?

Y'all take care,
Mike.
