Yeah, the runway was about a mile long. There's still a PB4Y sitting mostly intact in 140ft of water just off the shore that failed to get airborne and went into the lake in '56 (all crew survived)....

Thanks, Mark! Yes, the hangars at Sand Point are pretty much totally accessible. One of them has a fence around it, but you can still get right next to it. They all appear to be in use in some...

It has been a while since my last update here, so I thought I'd check in and show where things are at currently.

It could very well be the result of cheap mounts and poor fitment of aftermarket pan. See photo of my car below, which has the high quality "Torq Lok" mounts sold by Ames. Notice how the tab on the...

Silly question perhaps, but does it have a temporary lock pin installed to keep it retracted for belt installation?

Although I don't have Pypes tubing, I used the Summit 2.5" band clamps in one location (per side) on my '66 where the tailpipe slips into the over-axle part. Worked great for me. I used my impact gun...

Do the '64s have a threaded boss in the roof structure like the '66s do? If so, I highly recommend the 3-point retractable belts from Morris Classic Concepts. I put them in my '66 and they are...

Only way to know whether you need to shim it is to install and take a look at how it measures up to your flywheel/flexplate.

When I installed the 9510XS in my '66, I had to use one of the supplied...

A spacer will make the issue worse, no? You want the wheels to be more inboard, not outboard. The lower the offset number, the more outboard they go. You have a 0mm offset, which means your wheels...

On my '66, I am using pulley set for late 1969-70 GTO with A/C & PS, along with a water pump with 4.5" tall hub. This provides a nice overdriven WP ratio. It took me a bit of time to sufficiently...

If it were my car, I'd address the issue by using a set of wheels & tires that fit better rather than stiffening the suspension. That seems like putting a band-aid on the problem. The suspension...
