Barnhart Pinball
Ok, here's a good one. I'm finally starting on the bodywork on the 72
Super. I need to get access to the vent area (the one between the rear hood
and the back window). I must be missing how to do it, I even checked my
manual and there's no help there. The area inside (louvers and panels)
needs...

Oil light, ad nauseum by
jackal624
Hi Everyone,
I have the very common oil light problem that so many others seem to
have, but with a twist. Here's the scenario:

frame off resto that took 5 years and more money than God could
afford.
That guy got it 90% done and...

Plastic "warm-air" Hose? by
[email protected]
I hate the foil-paper type fresh air hoses, so I am going to pick up a
pair of plastic replacements. I use a stock oil filled air cleaner
which has that third hose from the tub down to the tin. It seems to
be referred to as a "warm air hose". I can't seem to find a plastic
version of that hose...

Type 3 Notchback Question by
Steve Foley
Were Notchbacks imported into the US?
When I was a kid, my parents bought one. The dealer who sold it to them told
them that they weren't imported into the US, and this one had been brought
back from Germany from someone in the army. While we owned it, we never saw
another one on the road. It's...

Hi all. My 72 SB had a 1600 DP with the 009 and weber progressive
carb. It runs great, but at idle I get a periodic "stutter", and

and close the points by...
