That was a different lincoln. The blue one was a 79 I sold a couple years ago. This tan brown one is a 76 I picked up to pull the 460 and 9" for my maverick.

My old niggest of nig lincoln was comfy as fuck. Before you buy make sure you take it on an extended test drive. 351m/400s love to vapor lock, especially if you fuck with any of the emissions stuff.

the guy I bought my suspension from had a donor 76 f250 dent side that was super clean, and had the 351/400m motor stands that I need but the truck was so clean I would feel bad about robbing the engine stands.

Yeah; it looks TERRIBLE, but it could be a fun rat rod, especially since the guy only wants a couple hundred dollars.

If it still had the original wheels, I'd buy it for parts alone, but I don't know.

I'm also looking at building a Mad Max Corvair from a junker that my boss is trying to get rid of.

Considered getting a manaquin to act as a driver but the wife said no to that piece of useless spending.

Also, got an offer on the car from a passerby 3 days ago. Considering it, but want to have at least a body lined up if I do sell.

Asked you guys in the last thread about a 1971 GMC k2500 with a built 350 and a rebuilt t350. Shit gets lost I guess.

Redlines low 5000 rpm, but it's a 3/4 ton truck, I never touch that peak with anything, kepp in mind I have summit racing less than 30 miles from me.

>>16095392
Do Edelbrock 650s run fat as fuck out the box do you know?

On launch I bog down uber hard, then after 30 feet it hits and flies. It could be tuning, but if its actually fat out of the box I'll look into getting jets to lean it out. I'm gonna get a rebuild kit also

>>16095397
honestly on a truck motor you do not need that much carb. if it revved to 6k and had a high lift cam and decent compression maybe, but not on a stock low hp work truck.

>>16095418
I am not sure, but it is probably set up initially to be on the rich side just so that ye old boomer can slap it on his bone stock 307/powerglide combo and it will run off the bat.

that's rough. there's regularly 70's and 80's ferds around here.

>>16095480
depends on your budget, power goals and how intensive of a build. also depends on what is in the engine already. That being said, I do not know much about chevies, all I have been researching is carb parts.

The guy had no idea what he was talking about. Tried to tell me it was a Vette motor. I coulda told him the Flux capacitor was going bad and he probably would have agreed.

Anyway, the real issue is that all the fluids are god knows how old (or what's left of the fluids more like). Smoke out the upper rad house, and whiter smoke out of the back than I would like. I'm sure some of it is all the shit burning off, but white smoke~head gasket in my experience. Everything would need to be gone thru, engine only had 65k "original" miles, and supposedly belonged to an old man who garaged it, which I'm kind of inclined to believe considering the overall condition, fucked engine or not. Also, the real kicker is that he's moving this month, and has a ton of shit to get rid of. Told him I'd give him 500 bucks, so we'll see.

Kind of a joke, but throw some cosmoline on it :)

Have you already paid for the duster? What's the plan so far...

>>16100621
>What happened with the job
they were working me like 70 hours a week so i was so zapped i didn't see i had to stay an additional two hours one night.
It's union so if i bitch hard enough i might be able to keep it.

>tfw no cosmoline

The duster is paid for and already shipped.
I wanted to put a 4 speed in it but i guess the autotragic will have to do for now.

Anyway i see it as motivation to get back to work.

>>16100605
How long has it been sitting and when was the last time it ran? Also you can get a big can gunk carb clean to dip the carb in for like 24$. Should last you for like 20 carbs or more

>>16100539
Yeah; sometime before the end of the month.

Supposedly it runs but it doesn't have an air cleaner/filter on it so the gas would have no trouble evaporating.
Not sure how long it sat but no way to know if it runs until it gets here.
Unfortunately i only have $40 to my name until friday when i get my last check which has to cover me until i get a new job.
my dad has some carb cleaner but surely it won't be enough.

Anyway i'll have pics either today or tomorrow.

I've just had some hoppe's laying around with nothing to do and some marvel mystery oil as well.

I can always drip gas right down the spark plug hole on a cylinder that's on bottom, that never fails to get me a running engine although it won't be enough to get the fuel pump spinning.

Got my duster, i have many questions.

first of all it has no lights or power, so the battery is toast.
I plugged it into a charger and it said 100% charge. So basically it's a brick now?


I don't know shit about holleys but you can see the secondaries are stuck open.

what is it missing?
Finally, the air cleaner support rod is stuck in the secondaries. Any tips to get it out without ruining gaskets?

pic related, the damn rod.
I have a pokey magnet but it's too wide.

>>16101520
>>16101472
Are your secondaries vacuum operated or does it look like mechanical linkage?

Also those butterfly's are dirtier than prison anal, I don't even want to know what the bowl looks like.

Cool car though. Put a 340 innit

>>16101966
My bad, it was the air cleaner support rod holding them open, i got the rod out and they're fine. There actually isn't choke on the carburetor atm. The gas tank was patched and apparently leaks but the battery is done for so i don't know if it's true.
I'm just trying to get it running right now so it can be moved around.

This carb is dirty as sin tbqh.
Also 340s are rare af and expensive when you can find them. I want to dump a first gen hemi in there but i dunno if it'll physically fit.

>>16102010
First gen hemi is big, not as big as an elephant but they still have heads as yuge as Trump's ego.

Also yeah that battery is probably dead

>>16102010
Do you know the model number on the carb?

>>16102197
Not yet, i'll have to take a gander

>>16100725
Honestly, I could fly out there with a checked bag of tools and get it ready to drive back in a few hours. Worst case, I use a AAA exploit to get it towed home.

I used to have a '79 Mark V that I was fixing, but I sold it because of an ex. I miss that car, but it was a 400 with cloth interior and pink exterior, so I don't want to get it back. However, I do want another Mark V in the worst way.

>>16102197
It doesn't have a model number visible somewhere?

>>16096498

First one, the GT is tasteless.

>>16102475
>It will have a part code stamped in the carb, like 4160 or 4412.
I'll take a closer look. I really want to know too.

The carb is actually not 100% assembled. It doesn't have a choke, the throttle cable will not return to position after pressing the gas pedal.
I think this carb has an idle return spring, not sure.

as for the throttle issue, make sure you've hooked up the throttle return spring. For me, it is that big metal bracket to the left of the carb.

It was hanging off and i was like what the shit is that.
It's not staying on well, i think it's missing a fastener. Even with it on the throttle cable itself is loose or something, it's also kinked right before the butterfly.

>>16104357
well it is for mine. I remember when I first rebuilt the carb I forgot to hook it up and I was wondering why the gas wouldn't turn off when I lifted my foot.

Damn Mopars would rust in the desert.

>>16104394
don't worry bro my car is the same on the driver floor pan. i drive it all over though

>>16104563
To add on, what is the best way to go about patching a floor? I have a flux welder but I'm really only good at spot welding. Should I spot weld a panel over the top and then use some type of sealer? I plan to paint over it with POR15 in the interior and paint some of the bottom with POR15 after I prep the areas.

I've put about 150 miles on the old chevy so far. Only issue that came up was a clogged fuel filter stranding me a few miles from home.
The original one is reusable, but it looks like it would clog easily and is metal so I can't just look at it to make sure fuel is getting through it. I think I'm going to replace it with a clear plastic one for reliability reasons.

so i got a new lead on my battery on my duster, i tried jumping it.

the car now has lights, interior and exterior, but it still won't crank.
does the battery actually need to sit there and charge off another car?
isn't that dangerous to the battery?

>>16106069
Do you not have a battery charger?

>>16106081
i do but the battery is definitely done for.

it read 100% charged right when i got it so there might be some dead cells.

>>16106093
if it charged 100% then it's not dead cells, it's just straight up too old. Doesn't have enough cranking amperage left to turn a hungry starter over

>>16106069
Get a new battery man. Fuck once they go they go..

>>16106097
>>16106105
Wouldn't the jooce from the other car provide enough help to get it to even crank?
I have no doubts this battery is bricked but i would like to get the car firing as soon as possible so i know the whole ignition system isn't fucked

>>16106112
Charge the old battery fully first before you get someone to try and jump it, otherwise it's pointless.
You should be able to jumpstart the Valiant

>>16106126
I doubt it'll charge but i can set it up.

My battery charger is a piece of shit as well.

Nothing was ore satisfying then seeing the shitty lighting of the car though

I know, ima get a new battery asap but im flat broke atm

>>16105244
There's no shortage at that price; plus, '79 is the least desirable year. For that money, I'd want one with a 460.

For me, if I can get it for under $1,500.00 and not have to do body and interior work, it's worth it as a project. I love fixing up these cars.

These are the only numbers i can find on the whole thing.

And this is on a /6? That's wayyyyy too much carb for the car. That's a 600cfm carb when you should probably be running about 300-400cfm carb. Where are you located? I might have a 2barrel Holley I could sell you that would be a bit more fitting for that size.

Either that, or find a smaller carb but that one is more suited to a mildly built 350 chevy

Yes, someone definitely worked on this thing because ita straight piped.
Vin says its economy class at 105 gross horsepower.

Alright i figured out the real problem with this duster.

Pic related is the accelerator cable with the throttle cable.

If the picture didn't rotate you will see that the throttle cable is in wide open position despite having a return spring on the butterfly.
The throttle cable itself should act as a spring for the accelerator pedal BUT, why isn't it secured to the pedal.
Rather, what is the right method to secure it to the pedal?
does anyone have any ideas?
I tried removing the pedal but a washer has been secured to both sides well enough that it won't come out.

Can i just shorten the throttle cable?

>>16117032
>accelerator cable
accelerator pedal* my bad.

>>16117032
Yeah; you should be able to fix that with a basic cable stop. Pull the cable as tight as you can at the carb and secure it there; I can snap a picture of my setup, if need be.

>>16117337
please do for some reason this is baffling me.

the cable is actually taught but it's not secured to the pedal. i've confirmed that it will move the way i need it to with it secured.

Ah okay, still just about the same. The thunderbird, cougar, and ltd ii are all pretty much the same from those years. I think there's a lincoln that's the same too but I'm not sure. I really like my cougar because it's got the continental fake spare tire area on the trunk.

>>16117603
Yea the Lincoln MkV shares the basic body style as well, with tweaks here and there, but just fancier

Somebody offered to buy the Bronco from me yesterday. Left their phone number with a coworker for me to get in touch with him. I called him to be polite, and basically told him that I didn't want to waste his time waffling back and forth and that I wasn't really interested in selling it because muh sentimental value. He maintained that the offer was open if I want to sell it in the future. Never gave him a chance to throw out a number. Did I do right?

New battery is a no go on the Duster. The solenoid is still clanking even though i now have lights etc.

>>16118052
>New battery is a no go on
i would rather not get thrown out of this thread for asking such a pleb question. but have you tried checking the starter/alternator

>>16118127
No point in checking the starter when i had no battery.

They're pretty neat. Get a 4 speed and minimum 15 inch wheels, nothing smaller or you'll be stuck with towing gears.
carry a spray bottle of water for hot days.

>>16118174
Im looking on CL and theres some decent ones for under 5k.

I have a spare electric fan from an old project, any way i can hook that up to aid with cooling?

>>16118198
Nobody has gotten them to work to be worth the effort.

>tfw I have gone through two starters.
I don't think I mounted them correctly. that being said, I have had my starter fall off regularly once every 3 months. 5 minute fix tho

>>16118206
Oh i meant mount it somewhere towards the front. Since its air cooled its got the channels under it for air right?

Id be keeping the stock fan too.

>>16118250
loctite nigga

>>16118254
the engine is shrouded and air is drawn from the front of the car, they are cooling down between 35-45 mpg fine.
Just don't pin them and they'll last.

>>16118259
>loctite nigga
more like I need a lock washer. don't want to have the nut glued on in case I need to get a new starter because the clocking is fukt.

I just want to aid it any way i can

Weak coil or maybe points? You didn't mention, but if it is also a bit hard to start it's possibly one of these.

>>16121231
Coil is an easy replacement, and usually fairly inexpensive. Points are a bit more involved.

If you still think you have a vacuum leak, check with a vacuum gauge, you should be reading low vac at the carb even at idle. But I would guess that if it hasn't been done in a while, both the coil and points should be replaced. Maybe rotor and cap too, but you can tell this by inspection.

>>16121415
Also, if you are doing it anyway, and have the cash, moving to a Pertronix system can make a big difference to an old distributor set up.

I put one on a 60's ford MEL 430 recently, cleared up a tonne of issues.

I don't normally go to /o/ and I don't know if this is a good thread to even post it in but there was an Art Deco car show at my local art museum recently and I took a bunch of pictures, mainly for artistic reference purposes but maybe you guys would be interested in them. I apologize in advance for rather low quality, the camera is old and I'm not a good photographer.

I jumped the starter and then it started cranking.

Something's fucked with the starter but fuck i ain't priming a carburetor and jumping a starter

Sorry it took so long. This is my setup; it looks weird because it's a Ford carburetor on a Peugeot manifold.

>>16125377
It's nbd. I see what you got going on. Think my setup might be trashed. I may just throw a single barrel GM rochester on there while i gather funds for an engine swap.
I bought a return spring from vatozone at least.

I finally put a choke on my 79 trans am so on those cold mornings she starts right up. I'm still dealing with some random electrical issues. Since I got the car the Dash lights didn't work but the brake warning light was enough to see the speedometer. Finally the proportioning valve is reading right so the light went off. Has anyone ever had an issue like this? the turn signal lights, Hi beam indicator, and brake warning light works but not the lights to illuminate the gauges.

I had that exact same thing in my 68 Lincoln Continental. None of the lights worked for my Speedo, aka basically the only gauge on the dash, I pulled my headlight switch out, took it apart and cleaned it, found that the little arm that touches the rheostat for dimming the lights was all buggered, so I put a fresh drop of solder on it, filed it smooth and bent it into place.

Then after that, I had to clean a minutely dirty ground wire for the dash lights, which was in the engine bay for whatever reason. Now they work

>>16126532
Thanks for the advice! I'll take the switch apart and see if I can clean it up. If that doesn't do it I might see if replacing the circuit board will also help.

>the turn signal lights, Hi beam indicator, and brake warning light works but not the lights to illuminate the gauges.
Those are separate circuits so that's not surprising.

Gauge illumination is it's own circuit from the headlight switch and run in parallel so that one bulb doesn't take out the whole cluster illumination. The headlight switch in a car of that vintage has a rheostat included which is a round porcelain item with wire in it just behind where the switch mounts. See pic related. You rotate the headlight switch knob to increase or decrease illumination. It's pretty common for a failure to occur in the dimmer rheostat. Most of the time you can fuck around and figure out what's wrong with them but it's usually easier to just replace the cheap-ass pile of junk. Especially since headlight switches are frequently heat damaged from poor connections anyway.

>>16126624
Thanks for the help! tomorrow I'll rip the switch out of there and see whats wrong with it.

>>16126631
I did notice on the circuit board that part of the adhesive has come off and the copper has warped around itself. could this be a problem also?

Ordered a new throttle cable assembly for Duster. This shit is too niggerrigged to continue.
Now i learn the gearbox can grenade itself if i continue using the universal kickdown linkage for the Holley.
Man i hate automatics.
