There is senate bill 712, commonly referred to as Leno's law. Registering it as a collector car is one part of the bill, yes, but it hasn't passed...

Just got the SADs out and found that two of the front bolts were completely loose and most of the inserts totally broken and shot. Inspection while...

CHI with impressive responsiveness. They said they do not do anything with the studs. So they do not supply new studs, but I am free to remove and...

New head looks pretty great, but it does not have most of the studs. I reached out to Cylinder Heads International because I was not sure if they...

Doesn't that bill require them to be insured as a collector vehicle to qualify for exemption?

There is a clutch safety switch. It could also be the typical issues with starter contacts or resistance caused by old wiring.

Rack and pump have arrived! I have all my parts for this project. Might be able to get it in this weekend.

As I recall, the end of my fuel pipe (for me, pn 23801-76020 "Pipe Sub-Assy, Fuel" - that crosses over the top from the driver's side) snapped off...

Very helpful! My wiring loom is already blasted. I have loom material to replace it. Not original, but I will try to make it look nice. ...

Here's what one quite respected member has had to say on the subject, ...

Specific question, the manual says you only need to replace the head bolts if they are damaged or broken. I assume that means they are not torque to...

Hehe it is all foreign to me, maybe a clutch safety switch is a U.S. thing, because most cars are automatic. I have driven so many manual cars, never...

Fairly certain the Neutral Start is for the automatics (although going off the info you gave me and what I can see, there is also one in the diagram...

FWIW: cost aside, I'm more comfortable with that.

Okay, I missed the part where this repair had already been done and failed :doh:. In this case I agree that a new head is your best bet. Probably...

Those and the inserts that the previous owner attempted to install. They either used cheapo inserts, or did it wrong because the hole is fouled. So...

Aren't these (which Tim also mentioned) the insert type that failed (and might be replaced by the Big-Serts)? FWIW, I've found Harbor Freight's...

I've had luck with those inserts as well on other cars. I always cover the tap in bearing grease, and remove, clean and regrease it often during the...
