    Size of key/tab in shift tube? Also, removal of lever in 66

    Dunno. Mine seems flared down like it encases a ball joint type setup. Doesn't matter now, though. Managed to work with it in place. I do really appreciate you checking!

    Size of key/tab in shift tube? Also, removal of lever in 66

    Here are some mediocre pictures. Key started like as a 3/16 by 3/4 key from the hardware store. Ground to make more square, firmed the sheet metal around I think a 9/16 impact socket. Welded mostly to top of wallowed out hole. You can see where I added weld to make it taller, and filed side...

    Size of key/tab in shift tube? Also, removal of lever in 66

    Thanks! I didn't see that there had been a reply, maybe the e-mail went to spam. Man, only 0,145 tall? I really thought mine wasn't tall enough, so I built up it with weld. At any rate, got all the bearings yesterday, and just went and test fit everythign. Until I put the shaft in, and...

    Size of key/tab in shift tube? Also, removal of lever in 66

    Thank you! I've already started trying to get it going........so I don't forget too much when it comes time to ptting it back together. I got a small woodruff key from the hardware store, ground it down, welded it to a piece of sheet metal I formed around a socket, and then weldd that in...

    Size of key/tab in shift tube? Also, removal of lever in 66

    Greetings all. The key that actuates the arms on my 66 somewhere along the way came loose, wallowed out the tube, and was left who knows where. Does anyone have a tube laying around where they could measure the size of that key? Length, width, and height? From searching, it appears that...

    Cragar Nomad fitment? (Wagon Wheels)

    Hub rings. Adapters. Aftermarket wheels fit different cars, so they make the hub bigger, say 80mm. If your car has a 65mm hub diameter, using a 7.5mm thick ring (they are chamfered, so they do seat) will allow the wheel to remain hub centric, rather than lug centric. Obviously I am new to...

    Cragar Nomad fitment? (Wagon Wheels)

    D'oh! Meant to grab this one: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/crr-3105755 which is 5x5.50. Havent looked at others, I usually just look at bolt pattern, and hub size (and make sure I can get rings). But assume you can't use rings with stamped steel wheels anyway

    TN 4.6L 4V NOS-like engine

    From 1998 Mark VIII. Same as 96-98 Cobra, but COP rather than coil pack. This was a warranty engine that was rebuilt with a new bottom end. 19,000 miles, the engine had a fuel injector stick, causing a hydrolock. The heads and upper end were re-used, as they were all fine, but the pistons...

    Cragar Nomad fitment? (Wagon Wheels)

    If you filter by vehicle, they don't come up. You select the wheel, and "check fitment," and they claim they do not fit. There are only 4 wheels that Summit lists as fitting. They are all the "dog dish" style. I was just making sure there was nothing I was missing. Sometimes there is...

    Cragar Nomad fitment? (Wagon Wheels)

    I feel dumb for asking this, but WTF is up with this wheel coming up as "does not fit your vehicle" when I look at them? I just want a seat of inexpensive wagon wheels. And unfortunately, I need them quickly. Looking at Summit or Jegs, both say they don't fit. 5x5.5" bolt pattern, 60 degree...

    Tire/rim/lift recommendations for uncut stocker

    16" white wagon wheel style wheels is what I want. I'm assuming they should be 7" wide, rather than 8" based on the section width you'd recommend? Thanks for the feedback, BTW!

    Tire/rim/lift recommendations for uncut stocker

    I've been trying to find the largest I can fit in mine for a few weeks, and it seems I keep hitting on this tire size. I'm guessing an 8" wheel, and 4" backspacing......GUESSING being the key word. Any idea for sure? I have a 66 U13 that has been in the family since new. Have been hoping to...
