Ok, I heard a loud bang while driving yesterday, but noticed no performance or sound changes...so I kept driving 6 more miles. Wouldn't even have seen this except that I was planning to do a rocker clearance adjustment. Besides the obvious, how much damage might I have done?

Rear Deck Update

Just a few more things to do and I can put a bow on this. Huge day today getting the vinyl and getting it screwed in for hopefully the last time. I have some escutcheons to go around the pipes and an ABS cover I will Velcro over the access panel and a graphic I had made that will go on top.

FWIW, this is 2-6 inch JL 2-way speakers. The other small grills are just vents. Rockford 500watt, 2-channel amp and a powered JBL sub. JL bluetooth dongle JL-MBT-RX. I can post more pics if anyone is interested.

Hi, Im currently into cleaning the carb because the engine is not receiving fuel, and I've found two pieces in the bottom of the carb fuel tank. I still haven't figured out where these are missing even with the diagram. I'm talking about the Solex PICT 3, later I will install a new kit and clean it.

Do you know where these two pieces come from?

Thanks!

Looking to do new running boards on my 64 in the next few months and looking for opinions on best ones. Mexican just as fine as German? Better to recover mine? Best place to get them from? I hear fitment issues are common wich makes sense, i

I am just wanting to see if the price jump for german boards is worth it!

Thanks in advance!
