err hmm not really least it wasnt held with bailing wire

[tybob81]

The po was on to something with the "c clamp exhaust manifold repair kit" you can find that at auto zone in the "help" section!

[wordforge]

Man, some of the different stuff that people have used to fix these problems is so out there. Perhaps, some stuff like this would have been in order during the time our bumps were under the care of their PO's.

im guilty of doing the c clamp exhaust thing, but on a volkswagon golf where they have these stupid little pressure springs. i cut them off and stuck on some c clamps, works really good on a little 4 banger.

thanks man, I found them when some kid asked if he was going to have to "rejet the carb on his fuel injection set up" on his RX-7

yeah, sometimes i feel bad.

That is a homemade spark arrester / fuel atomizer under the carb spacer. And yes, you guessed it.... made entirely of wire window screen. Where did all of it go you may ask... who knows? I'm sure I'll find out when I tear the engine down. But, to the P.O.'s credit, it was doubled up and had silicone around the edges for a tight fit.

oh thats brutle, ive made my own spacers but why would you put a screen on it?

[wordforge]

sorta looks like the stuff that Dyer's puts on their blowers

this is my 71 parts truck.

someone down the line must've swapped 4speeds and the shifter didn't bend right, so they made it bend right:



the front turn signals are "grote" trailer side marker lights mouunted with angle iron:



you can't see it too good in this pic, but that is a new replacement inner fender which was immediately cut up to route ac lines and power steering lines through:



and finally, the whole truck is "painted" with some of that do it yourself bed liner:

[1971ford]

ill go ahead and add this for Fordman
Stole the pic from Fordman's how not to do it thread in the drivetrain section

[olgreen69]

there is absolutely nothing wrong with the C-clamp, this one has been holding strong for well over a year now

when i bought the truck the p/o also did the bungee cord thing so i fabbed this out of some scrap aluminum around the shop.

and my ultra high tech radio install using pipe strap to mount to the top of the glove box this way i don't have to murder the stock radio mounts.

and finally a good use for all those holes under the dash pad.

That's the same place I put my CB for now soon its gonna hang from the roof like a big rig Is that a Galaxy radio??

[SteveC]

this was on one of the other students trucks he owns... its the best exhuast hanger ever

[1971ford]

for a second i thought that was a super crazy driveshaft support
