Are you sure that is an original battery tray? I never seen one like that one. The original setup I know of had two hold down rods and a wire bracket on top. Fusick sells the top and hold down rods but not the tray. The hold down is part number HD6117 and the hold down rod they sell is HDB005. They show it takes two of this rod but I think it only…[Read more]

The pictures he give me were not that detailed. That sucks.

I have been sitting on this one. I want to work something out for this car but I just can’t swing a third one. It is located in PA. 412 335 3704. He sent me some pictures and looks like a great project. From what little I could see in the pictures it looks like a fairly solid car. He has $6500 on it and the turbo setup as still there.

For some reason I can’t log into my email right now so I will post it here. I did find one that is a nice one. Give me your address again and I will mail it out.

Here are some pictures

[quote quote=11860]Thanks Jim, I just posted looking for these hoses and thought I’d take a look back at old posts and it paid off! In stock at my local parts store and I wiil pick these up.

The Jetfire we have has the orig front to back heater transfer pipe. The Cutlass has no pipe and I was thinking that the heater transfer pipe that runs a…[Read more]

I would like that information also. Not sure if D&D would have them or not but I would like the Jetfire information also. I have a good Jetfire cam that I would like to have put on a cam doctor. Not sure who can do that.

Jim Noel here rebuilds/restores them. I am sure he will see your post. What can you tell us about yourself? Do you have the Jetfire to go with the turbo setup?

Jim’s service is listed in the Classifieds.

Is it an automatic console or manual console? Sounds like a real cool car!

[quote quote=11799]I hope to get out there on sunday. btw it was a no go on that parts jetfire so no differential, sorry

No problem. I added .090 shims behind each spider gears and added some 140 gear oil to take up even more space between all the shims I had to add. That will get me by till I can find another one. At least we can drive…[Read more]

That would be great! Let me know what you find.

Thanks Jim! Now, does anyone have one sitting around they will let go of? I would consider any that will hold fluid. The one on our 4 speed car is busted.

Some racing shoes are also softer and don’t last as long. Not sure if these are or not but you may ask them.

After all this time I Installed the radiator hoses last night. These hoses that Fusick has are so much nicer than the modified Ford hose I was using. I also installed the red turbo setup this morning. I fired it up and immediately found that a copper cooling line going to the throttle body had a crack in it. Sure could not see it when I assembled…[Read more]

Unfortunately my 72 parts book does not have the 61-63 windshields in it. I thought the windshields were the same in them but I could be wrong. I know the side glass is not the same in the Jetfire. I am sure Jim will know more about the glass.

I pulled the fluid tank off tonight and found the cloth tape over the holes for the horn bolts like the assembly manual shows.
