Recommended Posts

My linkJust got this "66 520, paid $650 and started tearing in to her. She has a lot of surface rust, but she runs already. Got the fuel and carb going tonight. Carb needsa a full rebuild and engine may need some timing adjustments, but she runs. Check out the pics for the blowout of the tailpipe..

welcome to ratsun we all love to look at pics and i am lazy so try to pics here rather then make my but go looking at them but it looks good

 

Tried pasting a few pics, but it won't show them. Maybe I am a ratard... haha!

 

The day i bought her, the owner told me he messed with this "little spring" and couldn't get it just right. I opened the bowl and pulled the input line and found this thing that used to be a spring, but looked more like a slinky some ADD 7 year old had gotten ahold of. It was all twisted and sprung, so I tweaked it a bit and finally got it back to working like a spring again, put it back and she works just fine. 10 minutes max!

There is a lot to be said for BFH's!!!!! I tried to remove the drums but they would not budge, so I tapped on them with a framing hammer and some WD-40, nothing! Then I spent a whole day searching the net for "How to remove brake drums" and almost all hits said use the BFH! I used 3 cans of PB and a 5 pound sledge and they came right off! Thanks Internet posters!
