  1. Is there a way to tell if the milage has rolled over, the p.o. said the 37,000 was original
  2. Good oil psi and it's charging. Alot of relief the last couple of days.
  3. It's going back together. I made smoke as I call it. Every time I fire up an engine for the first time it's called making smoke. And I made smoke.
  4. 95 and 98 octane, wow. The highest near me is the 93
  5. how about a working radio
  6. I painted the firewall and frame before putting in the engine so I wouldn't have to wrap it back up later. At first I felt the blue was a little light, but I think I like it.tried to stay close to the original color as the wife told me too. But I have crossed the idea to her about painting the roof white to go with the mist blue body.
  7. I spoke to soon, I'm still getting upload error 200. Nothing to do with pic siZe
  8. I have figured out the pic posting issue. I knew it wasn't the pic size issue. I believe it was because I cancelled my wifi and was trying to upload with data
  9. So I have been buisy but haven't been posting much so here are some updates
  10. I am too rewiring the engine bay. I too have questions about the wires on the horn relay. I have a schematic but when the terminals on the relay aren't marked its a guessing game. On the pic above I believe #1 is the horn button and #4 is power from the starter, so that would leave #2&3 for horn feed and ignition. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Which is which.
  11. The rear wheel cylinders are new and there, so im Wondering about using the new shoes from the front, I think it's possible.
  12. I'm.sorry I forgot to mention it's a 49 royal. C45 an actual 49 not the left over 48s
  13. Another rear brake question right. I have converted my front drum to disk, and took apart the rears to find that they were empty. That's right no shoes or hardware. So my question is that I have the new shoes that I removed from the fronts, are they the same, I know that they mount with both pivots together and what-not but are the shoes physicaly the same.that you for any input.
  14. So I thank the forum.member who helped supply me with a hard to buy part. With that I have re marked the top dead center on the balancer. It was off 7 deg. From the original spot. Intalled and torqued the head and ran a fuel line. Engine is almost done.
  15. The wiring in the dash is almost done besides all of the bulbs and the field gauge. It already looks more neat. For the bulbs I have new buttons on the way. I may still paint the needles.
  16. Thank you anyway, at least your garage is clean.
  17. So I removed everything and disassemble the dash head. Clean and polished, sanded dash and painted, then wrapped the ugly black dash pad with a reddish brown upholstery. Now doing the rewire
  18. It's been a little while since I posted, while waiting for parts I started some wiring and dash rehab
