I'm going to replace the engine harness next week. The car was built January 14, 1974 so I ordered the kit from after October 1973.
Specifically, the solenoid for the seatbelt interlock is still on the inner fender of the driver's side and is wired up. However for as long as I've owned the car...
As long as you're happy is all that counts. That photo of the car on the driveway with the scenery around it would make an awesome man cave plaque! I love it.
You are 100% correct. I'm semi retired now, but most of my working life was in OEM MFG for a global corporation (not automotive) in the Logistics & Supply Chain area. I had to know Canada, U.S. & Mexico Customs laws/regs like clockwork.
I have brought vehicles up from U.S. for myself and for...
There is something weird about this story that doesn't make sense. If the car is stock or year correct there shouldn't be an issue as long as you have a clear title and original bill of sale. Canada hasn't imposed any of these tariffs on any U.S. vehicles whatsoever. There are restrictions on...
Your comment is valid about the scammers. You can't be too careful. I paid mega bucks to get a 408 Stroker built last year by a self proclaimed "Die Hard Mopar Nut" (who I foolishly didn't vet very well) and in reality he only assembled the motor...no testing.
Welcome to the Forum. Does your car have an MSD ignition box? If so check the ground wire is nicely grounded. As well as the engine ground is a strong strap style to the firewall.
Am I correct you are an Engine Builder? Did Edelbrock honor your warranty??
In my situation there's only a few hundred miles on the motor. Not sure whether it's a parts issue or poor workmanship from the builder...or both.
I'm certainly no expert but here's my two cents...
- Regarding your Saginaw PS Box. Powercraft (7910) is an excellent repair kit. Has everything you need inside.
- Edelbrock carburetors have never been much good. Holley is much better.
- Would strongly suggest to keep as much of the motor stock...

Not sure you have a motor issue from what you wrote. You may want to see if your fuel pump is compatible with an EFI system. A stock or similar pump will only push around 7 PSI which is nowhere near what EFI needs. IMO the folks at Holley can advise you better on where to start...
Looks really cool! Really like what you've done thus far.
You're absolutely correct to enjoy driving it around. (We're all somewhat reliving our younger days - there's no doubt).
There's enough bad news in our world that you're actually making total strangers a little happier - even but for a...
(Don't often do it) but I did a really hard-start (from stop) burnout last fall and the rear bumper of my 74 seems very slightly loose on the right side only, but perhaps more toward the right center. My forte isn't bodywork etc. What's the best method to inspect/tighten the bolts? I'm assuming...
Happened to come across your post and thought it was relevant. (Don't often do it) but I did a really hard-start from stop burnout last fall and the rear bumper of my 74 seems very slightly loose on the right side only, but perhaps more toward the right center. My forte isn't bodywork etc...
Thanks for your reply. Rock Auto has a comparable cap, (Not Gates) but not in stock. JEGS is apparently selling the newer version but hasn't updated the photos, thus picturing the older version.
I'm a little hesitant about buying on E Bay.
Hello, Does anybody know where to find an OLDER STYLE Gates 31523 Radiator cap? Obviously in excellent condition (See attached photo).
I bought a new cap last fall but the top of the cap has changed from having a roundish shape to having two "winglets" either side and unfortunately rubs on the...
Ordered a new Saginaw Power Steering Pump (Lares Part No. 12094) on Rock Auto. Also want to replace the pressure & return lines which unfortunately Rock Auto doesn't carry. After checking around different auto stores around my home, also came up empty.
Checked with Speedway Motors. The tech...
