[MBZ] another solution for the IP back bracket

I just found this ratchet extension. You turn one end with your rachet, and the other end turns your socket. In the case of the 3/8 drive version, the socket is 10" away from your ratchet.Fot the IP back bracket bolts on most OM engines, or for the CC servo on the OM60x engines, the 1/4"

Great show on Velocity. The shop is in or near Toronto and the highly educated and literate techs are true masters in their craft. https://www.velocity.com/tv-shows/restoration-garage/ This show is a kinder/gentler, more refined version of Fantom Works, out of Norfolk, VA. I love 'em both.

Re: [MBZ] OT saw a car that I wanted at lunchtime and it was not even an MB

The wagon probably had a lower geared rear end intended to give it a bit more of an ability to haul stuff. Nothing wrong with the current LS motors either. I have had a couple of the big Fords as rental cars and would cheerfully have kept either one. Both were 2011 which was the last year

Love the Panther body in all forms. Have driven and been in a few, but not yet owned one. However, had a LT1 - 9C1 Interceptor for a few years. That car was insane. Blew the water pump, sold her and bought a Roadmaster wagon. (Also LT1) and *somehow* that thing was even more insane. The 9C1 could

During the 1950s I bought a (Marchant?) hand cranked calculator from a used equipment store which had a UF Physics Department property tag on it. It must have been pretty old since electric calculating machines had been around for a long time. It worked quite well, and I used it for taxes and

Looks good. You should go check it out. I bet you'd like it. It appears to be a US model. That is a shame, as it will have the ACCIII rather than left and right side manual controls. (And a smog choked engine) It may be a Euro car, but most of them had the velour upholstery. A look at
