Check your box for a PM, Matt.

Both PM's have arrived. Thanks. I just sent you an e-mail.

No PM my Box yet.

How much for the Hood Scoop, Matt? Do you have pictures?

I've got E78-14's on the Original steel wheels on my '69. As it sits, the tires are exactly 14 1/2 inches tall. Taking into account how much they are compressed by the weight of the car, (not very much) I'd say that 26 inches tall would be just about right. According to the BFGoodrich Radial T/A Chart, their P215/70R14's are 25.9 inches tall.

Looking SWEET. sixty9cobra. Love the wheels. I'm not a fan of BIG wheels either. I'm going with 14x7 on mine with BFGoodrich Radial T/A 205/70's on the front and 245/60's on the rear.

$26,000.00??? This is a JOKE, right?

Forget this question. I used some Sealer. Figured it couldn't hurt.

I'm replacing the Fuel Pump on my '69 351W and was wondering if I should use some kind of Gasket Sealer of if the Gasket just goes on dry. :helpsmilie: Thanks.

Got the Battery charged. Poured a little Fuel in the Carburetor, cranked her over and she "Fired Right Up". Runs as "Smooth As Silk", although it's idling just a tad fast. I'll adjust the Idle Speed and play around with the Needle Valves to make sure they're adjusted correctly. Makes a person feel good all over when something goes right. Next on the agenda is replacing the Leaking Fuel Pump. Hope that goes as well.

Thanks for the info, guys. I went ahead and used Lacquer Thinner. I've just finished rebuilding the Carb and it's back on the car. Charging the battery now and will try to start it in a few hours. This is the first work I've done on a Carb since I rebuilt the one on my 1953 Ford Flat-Head. Keep your fingers crossed, I'll need all of the luck I can get. I'll let you know how it goes.

I've pulled the 2bbl Carburetor from my 351W and have it disassembled. Is it okay to use Lacquer Thinner (which I have gallons of) to clean the Metal Parts, or should I use Carburetor Cleaner?
