    Name that fitting

    Can anyone tell me what size fitting is needed for the water bypass. I've got the hose and the neck and a free morning to try to find one.

    Block Plate Woes

    Are the Ranger and Mustang II block plates interchangeable? I'd add more but it would just make me sound like an idiot.

    2.8 bolts- Redux

    I'm told the only thing standing between me and my motor is the right set of bolts. The engine guy can't find a "bolt set" and everything he's got lying around the shop is standard. I can go to McFadden-Dale but, once again, I don't know what to get.:confused: I need to know what I need...

    Taking it all apart

    I've been informed that my V6 is almost ready so I'm at the point where I either have to find storage space for the old 1725 or else part it out. The head gasket was blown before I got it so it has to come apart some time which means this weekend probably has its project. I'm not sure what I...

    Alpine & Tiger projects on BaT

    Ran across this today. If I weren't knee deep in my conversion I might be getting shipping quotes from Florida. http://bringatrailer.com/2012/01/03/bat-exclusive-1965-sunbeam-tiger-project-with-spare-alpine/

    Darkside Poster

    Today I played around a bit with Photoshop and came up with this prototype for a poster or sign to stick in the passenger seat at Cars & Coffee etc. I'm still undecided about the text and would welcome suggestions. It's all kind of tongue in cheek but I still think it's kind of cool:D

    Rewiring to Negative Earth

    I am just about ready to start pulling wires and installing the new harness. I have the wiring diagram for the series IV but that is positive ground and all my gauges are negative so should I be using the SV wiring diagram since those were negative from the factory?

    Oil Cooler

    Last night I was talking about the benefits of an oil cooler. As I remember Jose and others suggested that this was unnecessary since synthetic 20/50 oil and most modern oils can take a higher temp. Also suggested was a oil to water heat exchanger. When I brought these suggestions up in...

    Dashboard measurements

    My '64 series IV came with a homemade dash with a lot of problems. I am in the process of making a new one but all I have to work from is the previously mentioned plywood one. I am finalizing a new, hopefully better dash but I need to know how far it is, or rather how far it should be, from...

    Steering Wheel Options

    Now that I'm knee deep in redoing my dashboard it would seem that my steering wheel is also a mess. The replacement ones I have been able to find specifically for Alpines are north of $600. What I really would like to do is use one of these http://www.jegs.com/i/Grant/470/719/10002/-1 but I'm...

    Details of the 2.8 v6

    Steve at the machine shop was able to find heads and a core but he had some questions that I couldn't answer. I know he will be checking this forum so let me ask them here. 1.) How is the engine balanced? Internally or externally? 2.) What kind of flywheel? 3.) Is this parts list...

    For Sale- S-4 motor/trans

    I have a motor and transmission that I pulled out of a '64. The motor was not functioning when I bought the car and from the looks of things when we took off the oil filter it has a blown head gasket it also has a cracked exhaust manifold. There are no obvious external cracks on the motor, but...
