Another enterprising JH dash creator. I like the gauges you linked to. Looking forward to what you finish with. I'm also building an updated/upgraded Jensen GT dash ...   03-20-2013 03:16 am

Yes and no. They are not a direct replacement or swap. You will need the earlier mounting brackets also. Good luck finding a good pair. It's ...   03-20-2013 03:09 am

To each their own. You'll see that all of us have different ideas on what to do to our cars. My feeling is do what ...   03-20-2013 03:01 am

Putting one of the JH's back together and thought of cleaning the heater core. Rather do it now and be sure then find something wrong ...   03-18-2013 05:58 pm

Why not replace the gasket with an O-ring? When I took the gauges out of the GT dash there was an )-ring between the gauge and ...   03-06-2013 11:58 pm

Not that I remember anyone mentioning in finding a replacement. The necks from the later JHs and the GT are what most people like. For ...   03-02-2013 11:58 pm

To match the original paint you would need to use a single stage (SS) paint. Probably urethane enamel. This will closely match the depth, texture ...   02-08-2013 12:01 am

Generally speaking you would be better off to find a local paint supplier and take the code to them. They will be able to take ...   01-22-2013 12:12 am

Sure. Get the proper size gauge for the dash, proper type of sender for the gauge and make sure the sender unit has the right ...   01-19-2013 10:16 pm

The Mark II engine uses a regular rear main seal, not the rope seal. The year would be 74 but with some things Jensen it ...   01-05-2013 12:15 am

There are several threads on here detailing the pros and cons between the 907 and other engine swaps as to feasibility, cost, work involved, and ...   12-16-2012 08:37 pm

I'm pretty sure I got them from Delta. But that was more than a few years ago when I worked on that set of springs. ...   12-11-2012 05:01 pm

Having a heated garage to work in is nice when it's cold. Being from the Chicago area I know how cold it can get there. Having a ...   12-11-2012 04:51 pm

When I did mine in order to remove the metal bush I lightly used a drill bit to remove the metal enough until I could ...   12-10-2012 03:57 pm

You made me laugh this morning with your project list. I know you said in no particular order but found it funny you were starting ...   12-10-2012 03:50 pm

Think of what happens when you turn left. What happens to the car? It dips a little to the left and the right side rises ...   10-01-2012 02:48 am

Good news on the progress. But more importantly, Did you make the car show? ...   10-01-2012 02:40 am

I see that and think of the color sea foam and then think of the oil additive called Sea Foam. Never used it so I ...   09-15-2012 07:51 pm

If the calipers aren't too bad you might be able to rebuild them instead of buying new ones. It's not that difficult of a job. ...   09-13-2012 06:10 pm

Welcome to the group. Good job on the alternator. Checking and cleaning any suspect connections will be a good idea. I wouldn't drive the car until ...   09-13-2012 02:21 am

That hose is in the wrong place as it doesn't attach there. On two of my cars that hose is shorter and just terminates to the ...   08-31-2012 02:36 am

Kurt, It is pretty much just like John describes. When I took my GT gas tank out it was the same way. Remove the two straps, ...   08-31-2012 02:28 am

It still sounds like the O-ring. Unless the shaft or metal around it is nicked or something and letting the oil pass. When did you ...   08-24-2012 04:43 pm

I feel your suffering. Maybe we can modify the scale so that after 5 glasses it goes to bottles. Six glasses equals 1 bottle. So ...   08-11-2012 03:47 pm

I have seen the pad also. I thought it was to catch any filings or other debris that might end up in the fluid. Something ...   06-19-2012 02:32 am

Well I checked again and looked further and I don't have anything like what you show. The notes I have show the blinker red wire ...   06-09-2012 04:35 pm

That's interesting. I checked here and the two wiring harnesses I have do not have any three prong connectors. They both have two prong connectors ...   06-09-2012 03:03 am

Update on my cars from a post from 2006. Has it really been that long? 12768 is still here. 17500 was stripped of all usable parts and ...   06-06-2012 04:04 am

I have no personal experience with that yet. Maybe in a couple of months when I finish cleaning up the new JH I got and ...   06-02-2012 08:08 pm

If this is a later JH it could be part of the air pump assembly. It looks similar to what I had on the Jensen ...   06-02-2012 06:25 pm

I think it depends on the insurance company and what they feel the car is worth and what it will take to repair it. It's hard ...   03-25-2012 08:51 pm

Another thing to do if needed is to check the brake hoses and make sure they are good. If in doubt, replace with the braided ...   02-11-2012 01:14 am

It sounds like the fiberglass fenders will be the way to go. I would try hanging the pieces temporarily and see how everything looks. That ...   02-11-2012 01:10 am
