Beautiful Belvy in Britain

Somehow I missed it; ah well, the move has me distracted:

Good to see you are back, Roger! I'd be happy* to forward any overseas packages for you, if you don't want to deal with that right now...

*as long as they're under 79 inches :(

(*tap*, *tap*)... Hey, is this mike on?!

OK, so I've been preoccupied with house moves, sick moms and kid applying to graduate skool. What's your excuse?

It's been so quiet around here, you can hear a connecting rod pin drop... :roll:

Re: standard horn stuff

rats, my photo is too large to send..maybe i can send it to you directly I think I set the limit on pic size to 1MB, or 1024x1024... forget for sure. If you ever find that a pic you want to send is too big, open it with Microsoft Paint, go to "Image" --> "Stretch/Skew", and redu...

word to the wise

...make sure you have the inspection plate for the torque converter in place, before you tighten the pan bolts. I conveniently dropped the socket into the pan under the torque converter, because my plate is missing. (I actually have one I got from Roger in a box somewhere, I just never got around to...

Wisdom is the better part of valor

Has anyone found it necessary to remove the starter to get the pan out? One of the three bolts is behind the exhaust, and to remove that -- well, there's a bit of the "mushroom" factor here. And those bolts to the manifold are so rusted, I'll probably snap one if I try. We'll, I got the e...

rumors of my demise greatly exaggerated

Folks, I've got a boatload of pix and ephemera to put up -- alas, I'm busier than a one-armed plasterer. (Hi Ron :lol:) I'm haggling with contractors about the new house -- on which I close November 10th -- and dealing with house inspections for the old house, on which I close Jan. 31st. Betwen the ...

Well, no such luck. I set a bottle jack and a block of wood under the fan pulley, and started lifting. The whole front end started lifting! The motor mount bolts fall into open slots on the frame brackets, I would have expected them to lift right out. Wait! Am I supposed to loosen the rear mount to...

hOORAY! Now, tot he next step. I don't want to depress you unnecessarily about the engine mounting bolts..start soaking them now with WD-40 or something better. Those engine bolts have not budged for 45 years... Actually, Faulkner already had his rusted oil pan replaced two years ago -- so the mech...
