    Restarting My '70 Nova Project

    Looking great. I had one of my cars out yesterday after the long winter nap, and it sure helps make an old fella feel much younger again. Is this your priority project now, or have you got other stuff that is going to slow you down on this project ? Looks like you are getting very close to the...

    Restarting My '70 Nova Project

    Coming along nicely, in spite of the gremlins. What do you have to do with this car in your state to get it legally back on the road, after it has sat for so long ?

    Can I turn over a Kubota diesel engine by hand?

    I would do exactly what ericm979 posted. I would also remove the glow plugs and stick the small vac hose in there as well. I would then continually try to gently turn the engine over with all the glow plugs removed. Also remove the muffler and try to shake out all the stuff until you don,t hear...

    Hang in there, you are definitely on the home stretch. Your patience and willingness to doing it right is certainly paying off. You will soon be driving your beautiful car around and getting tons of compliments everywhere you go. Cheers

    I have green fluid draining down?

    Any chance it is the overflow from the rad overflow bottle ?

    GOOD MORNING SHEEPLE!

    "Only a white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of a blanket and have a longer blanket." Personally, my body clock has a hard time adjusting to these time changes. It is set for where it is now, as of this morning. Wake-up, mealtimes...

    Awesome. That,s got to be a great feeling of accomplishment. Thanks for posting the start-up. Love the sound of the lumpy cam. Getting there.

    Restarting My '70 Nova Project

    Awesome stuff. Getting closer to firing it up. Any chance you could make a video of the start-up. I really enjoy hearing a powerful engine running, especially one that has a nice lumpy cam. I had my new mustang out yesterday for the first time this spring. Before I left the driveway, I set the...

    Pull down a high widow maker.

    Use a bow and arrow. Tie a small long rope to the arrow, get it over the branch, and then pull a larger rope as required to attach a larger rope.

    You Know You Are Old When

    Hopefully we aren,t thread drifting to far, but just reliving our youth, to keep us from feeling even older.

    You Know You Are Old When

    Wow, awesome picture, looks like a great traction monster. Yes, it started out as a 302 for the first 6 years the V8 was in there, and then one fall I decided to buy the balanced stroker kit so I removed the 302, stripped the block bare, and had a local Ford guru in our area bore it out .030...

    The guy that put the engine internals together says "The rings are not seated yet end the smoking is normal. Just give it a couple hours of work"

    A question for the OP. How long a warranty did this guy give you ? I,m thinking he is trying to push you along with lies til the warranty is over. Whoever the guy was that tried to do these repairs for you is a quack. Hopefully you haven,t paid him any money, and take it to a real mechanic. It...

    You Know You Are Old When

    I,m 75 years old, and have always been very responsible. I learned right from wrong at a very early age. There is a time and place for playing around, and I never push it. It is very docile. I don,t drive it in the rain or winter. I also have a new Mustang 5.0, with 3 thousand miles on it, and a...
