    You might be right on the head, but I do remember lifting the crank, rods and pistons out as a unit. If memory serves, the 750 had 3 solex carbs It's been 50 years ago, and memory is a bit fuzzy. I mistyped the cc of the other V6s. They started with a 1600 cc initially. Have fun with your...

    Your car should have a lever or knob that will let the car free wheel when you lift off the gas. I rebuilt the motor on a SAAB 92. It had the 750 cc. "Monte Carlo" motor. 3 cyl, 2 stroke. As the head was cast with the block, to rebuild the bottom end you removed the oil pan, undid the main caps...

    In the early 70s, the VW dealership I worked at took on a SAAB store. Myself and 2 other mechanics went to SAAB training school. The first SAAB I worked on was a Sonnett with a bad clutch. A helpful tip, don't disassemble the hidden head light mechanism.

    Oil level question after oil change by dealer

    The engines were originally filled with 2 qts when they arrived at Wixom from the Romeo engine plant. On the Wixom build line, station 5 or 6, an additional 10 qts were added. I know this because I set up the oil and fluid fill machines. On a normal oil change, every drop of oil will never be...

    Ford Parts Giant Experiences

    I have ran into that very same thing more than a few times. Needed a seat belt for a client. After weeks and weeks on back order, they canceled the order. This was after they said it was no problem getting it. I was able to have the OEM belt re webbed for $75 dollars with a 1 day turn around.

    "2023" 17th Annual Barrett Jackson Scottsdale GT Forum Dinner

    I flew from Vegas to Houston and back last week on Southwest with no problems. Their seating procedure is about the dumbest, most unorganized, stupidest procedure anyone could have possible come up with. Just wait until you try it. See you at the dinner. You will love it.

    Please include Charlie Talisman and wife to the list. His White car just sold on BAT today and he tells me he may look for another one already . Figures his Yellow 06 and his Quick silver 05 will be lonely with their stable mate gone. Thanks

    Updates on your 2005-2006 Ford GT, What have you done lately?

    I need to back out your way. I had been planing a trip that way this month, but the wife had a bad fall and is bed ridden so I'm grounded for a while. Stay safe my friend. See you in the spring. And thanks for the pin. It looks good in my prized collections.

    I'm glad so many owners drive their babies. That is why we built them. Just hope everyone has gotten their upgraded power steering hose. Very important thing

    Service in Santa Rosa, CA

    Make sure you get the upgraded power steering hose replaced. Rich Brooks and myself are the only place to get them and when the quantity we have are gone there will be no more.
