    New Old Guy....Duh!

    Welcome from Michigan. If I'm still here, I'll be 82 in November. My T would be lots more user friendly if it had doors. I can still get in and out.....it's gettin to be a challenge. A friend of mine who has a local golf driving rang and ice cream stand, told me maybe I should stop buying green...

    Greetings From Sunny St. Croix, USVI

    I bought my Centerline wheels a few years ago. About a year and a half ago, I had new tires put on the front wheels. I supplied the tire company with all the information from Centerline describing the care necessary when mounting a tire on a Centerline wheel. The tire company bent one of the...

    Greetings From Sunny St. Croix, USVI

    Welcome from Michigan, Island Girl. Please excuse my ignorance. Your recent comment "I'm looking at the big, 33" Mickey Thompson radials in the rear on 15" wide Weld Prostars, (since there's no more Centerlines)." got my attention. This part did it "(since there's no more Centerlines)". My...

    rear shocks

    I wish I could give a real useful reply. I will give what I have. I got them on ebay....seller was sdbdauto. He has email at sdbdauto@gmail.com. It looked like he had lots of other stuff. My cost for 2 air shocks delivered to my door was $117.85. Purchase was made July 29,2016. I have posted...

    rear shocks

    My original T-Bucket rear suspension was somebody's bad idea. I added a pair of air shocks ($100 for the pair), and now I have adjustable rear suspension. Actually better than I thought it would be. Roger

    Mystery Black Box

    The specs for the Mallory 6852M wires have a lot in common with my black box Thanks, Roger

    Mystery Black Box

    Looks like you are right. I downloaded the instructions for the accel 61212 box. Looks like same number and color for wires. I'm sure they are not interchangeable, however if the basics are the same, it still could be a great help. Tomorrow, I will attempt to open my black box. It's put together...

    I should have added that this car has a Mallory 2748201 dual point distributor.

    Mystery Black Box

    My T-Bucket has a black box under the passenger seat. My efforts to identify it are not going well. Maybe somebody will recognize it and help me out. There is a small cover on one end. It hides this. I think the cover hides a rev limiter (appears turned off) The underside on the box has...

    getting my new body!!

    I don't get very excited about much any more. I bought my T-Bucket from a friend. It needed a lot of work and I needed something to keep my busy. The work goes slow, but that's OK. Today, I was just looking at the new posts here and it caught my eye...."New Body". It took a minute, but my heart...

    windhield support question

    windhield support question

    My bucket has a large one piece windshield. I plan to add a couple 3/8" stainless rods from the top of the windshield down to the front end of the chassis. I have noticed this kind of added support can be seen in pics of other T's. I'm concerned that when the frame twists the distance from the...

    Fan Shroud

    Thanks guys. I didn't mean to hijack the thread but it seemed like a good place to ask. My fan has 5 blades and I think it's undersized. I may need bigger fan and maybe a shroud. Thanks again. Roger

    Fan Shroud

    My T-Bucket has a 350 with a copper/brass radiator. There is no shroud and most of the time it seems fine. I have seen the temp rise a few times (maybe 20 degrees) and I wonder if there is too much clearance between the fan blades (mounted on water pump) and the radiator. Is there a maximum and...

    First time t bucket owner

    If you really have motorcycle tires on car wheels on your car, you have a problem. I bought a T-Bucket from a friend. It had been in storage for a long time and all the tires needed to be replaced. I was having new rear tires mounted and as I was waiting, I told the sales guy I was going to put...

    oil catch can

    Guys with small high performance boats (500 - 800 hp) been doing that for years. They often run with throttle wide open. They call their tank for catching oil, a puke tank.
