Well the front brakes on my '73 4door finally wore down last week. Keep in mind that I have never changed them in the 7 years that i have owned the car so i believe they have served me well. i had planned on converting the car to disc this summer but figured i might as well go ahead and do it, so i did. now, all 3 of my maverick are front disc cars on saturday's agenda, i plan to replace the rocker arms on the passenger of my '71 as one or two of them are very noisy and almost sound like a loud exhaust leak or something. not to mention i am supposed to go look for a 5.0 HO motor that i plan to put in my '71 if i get it. who knows what the rest of saturday and sunday will bring....lol (not to mention, it's 68 here )
Sounds like a fun and bussy week end ! I got to get my hornet road ready this week end since the ranger is finaly starting to quit on me and if all goes as planned I`m gonna get the jeep muddy sunday .
I plan on putting my hogs head back in my comet. Changed it from a 2.73 to a 3.40. Hey mean mav. I lived in Nicholasville for 20 years and loved it. How about firing Tubby?
All i can say is that it should have happened sooner update: i changed out 1/2 of the lifters on my '71 today and the ticking is still there so im gonna swap out the other side tomorrow (sunday). i would have done it today but it looked like it was gonna rain so i put everything up and guess what, it never rained hey, anyone have any suggestions if this doesnt work tomorrow? engine runs quiet and smooth while idling and crusing town but as soon as the engine comes under a load it has a 'tick' to it. the only thing i know of it being is a rocker arm or pivot or so.
I thought the same thing Frank, about the timing but it's fine. I have double checked everything and even removed the timing cover to double check my marks. Havent really tried the gas, always just run 89 in it. but i wouldnt imagine that the gas would make it tick as loud as it does. ill try it though, when i take it out today. BTW Frank, what color r u gonna paint your car??
