Re: Gas gage

Check your ground connections first. Fluctuating gas gauge is usually caused by an iintermittent ground in the system.

Re: Howdy from Houston - 66 Deluxe

Hi Janice. I'm also from Cleveland but have lived in Atlanta since high school. Don't be fooled into believing the myth that disc brakes are an upgrade. Many believe that stopping power will be increased and stopping distance will be shortened. In reality, disc brakes may lengthen stopping distance....

Re: front bumper installation

Do you have the headlight splash shields that protect the headlamps when the headlight doors are closed? I can't tell from the photo. Most cars seem to be missing them.

Re: 66' Toro CV axle

I suggest sending your original units to a rebuilder like Cardone.

Look up Applied GMC (new name now but I can't remember it). They offer rebuild services for the cv axles. Jim is an expert on GMC Motor Homes which utilize Toro drivetrain. He's extremely helpful.
