    SoCal Rally April 3-7 2019 Moved- but still going

    Due to a lack of permit required for hosting events at the Soledad Campground we had to move our event a little bit west for the 2019 rally. The campground apparently forgot to renew it a few years ago with the changes in ownership and management etc. They will probably have it for 2020. Our...

    March 2018 Southern California Rally

    IF you guys want to go you should review the map and pick out a spot. We just went live today. Several of the vendors have given me a tentative yes they will show up if we planned this event. They should start appearing on the registration soon.

    NEED carb fuel inlet tab float spring

    Yes, its the float needle that is in the brass hex fitting fuel inlet. The spring goes into the needle and springs a pin against the float. I searched for a few hours and could not find the spring but I found the pin.

    NEED carb fuel inlet tab float spring

    How do I ask for the spring part? is there a commercial part it crosses over to? This is the spring on the fuel inlet needle that pushes on the float tab.

    Front Main seal replacement

    Im not sure what you mean by aluminum block. Is that the half round block on the front that the crank bearing is in, right behind/below the timing gears? I did not realize that was aluminum.I am wondering if I should pull that plate off from behind the timing gears. I has one bolt in it...

    Front Main seal replacement

    There is a ring around the crank that I think is the oil slinger. I dont recall much about the oil pan gasket, I did it some 5 years ago or more. It was cork and I used liberal amounts of blue RTV to stick it on. I dont recall any aluminum parts. Just block, gasket and pan.

    Front Main seal replacement

    Ok so I have the motor mount removed and the timing cover off. The whole reason behind doing this job was I was puking oil while driving around and I figured it had to be the front main seal since I really could not see it behind the ox yoke motor mount. I know the leak was not the oil pan...

    Front Main seal replacement

    I need to replace the front main oil seal on the crank shaft pully. It gushes oil. I have a new seal and gasket for the timing cover. How do I get the crank nut off (is it right or left hand thread) and how do I get the pully off? Yes dumb I know but I have asked a few folks and nobody seems...
