Wow I just got a post on Facebook about this, and had to come here to see if it was true. I only talked to Brian on the phone, bought some parts from him. He will be missed, My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Too sad.

Well I am about to the point where I have a rolling chassis again and I took a little time while waiting on the fuel and break lines to touch up my old wheels. these will some day be replaced but for now I just wanted the chassis to look good while sitting in the garage So here are the old...

I am debating if I am going to put them back when I put the rear end together

Guys I need some help I am putting my rear suspension back together and I am stuck on where a part goes. I thought that I had pictures of everything but not these. I believe that they sit on the bottom of the rear springs between the spring and the control arm but it did not look right to me...

So I got a new tool for compressing my springs from OTC it made the job super easy. It has two plates that fit in the spring, with a threaded rod, that has a bearing that the screw nut tightens against worked really slick. I am attaching some photos of it in action. I was able to get some...

So here is what I am going to do. Order a 3/8 line and reuse my 5/16 as a return line. Modify the sender to have a 3/8 output. I will run the 5/16 in its original location and the 3/8 on the inside. Well back to the garage and do some work this afternoon. :cool:

Ronnie I figured that would be the case no use to have a 5/16 sending unit and 3/8 line. The thing is that the car had duel exhaust and 5/16 fuel lines, however that was all done by the previous owner when they put in the 350 that was in the car when I got it. The car was fairly messed up...
