Slick 60's

Good question! not that I know,but I have seen a injector plate that goes between manifold & carby.Alan[/quote]

Thats OK Greg,351 Clevelands are still fairly common over here.I could probably go to the local wreckers and find at least four of them, C4`s are the choice of transmissions with old FORD lovers.

(If you cant afford a FORD,Dodge a chev) nice old saying.

And they are like hens teeth here. Maybe you could mail me one, lol. Shipping from there to here is ugly though. I found a Ford Capri 3100 RS over there (down there?) for sale and actually priced what it would cost to get her here. The 3100 RSs were never sold in the US (Damn Shame too).
My dream small block Ford setup for a Slick is a FI 351 Cleveland with an AOD behind it. I love 5 speed manuals but seeings as both my Stangs have them and I have arthrtis in my shoulders I should probably have 1 vehicle that has an auto tranny, lol.

Greg, I was talking to a bloke at the pub last night who owns a wrecking yard about the short supply of 351 clevelands over there,and he said `Ah the boat anchors !(holden/chev lover) fairly unkind person. Is the 3100 RS the V6 version ,they rusted out if you used the windscrean washers to much. I saw one at a wreckers the other it to had a clean windscreen but had cancer every where,sorry to hear about the shoulders as mine are shot too,isn`t old age great. Alan

Have posted photos and measurements for forward flip bonnet in my personal album.Alan

Allan. That was a nice job you have done but I ordered a new hinge during my holiday from Carpenter.

if your hood is fitting bad like you say.. the hinged are worn out. take the springs off and you can get a little more use out of them.. they will sit down right if you take the springs off. you will have to invest in a prop rod but thats cheaper than buying new hinges.. the springs actually pull the hinge apart over time..

joey

Hey Alan, I'd like to see some interior shots of that little beauty you've built! I haven't seen too many (actually, only one) right-hand drive Slicks in my day.

Slick Fan,I`ll post some photos this arvo,I see in your avtar the snow blows ,its winter here at the moment ,1:43 PM and its 22 C and i`ve never seen snow falling.

Chiquita, Thanks for the kind words and I know flip bonnets aren`t for everyone and I hope you`ll be back on the road again soon enjoying the view and not watching the bonnet doing the shimy shake.

Slick Fan,The interior shots are posted and I just thought, I should of shown some under bonnet shots so you can see what side she dresses on I`ll do that soon . Alan

Alan. I try to have my Slick on the road all summer. Soon comes winter and more time for fix and tricks. And last winter we had 30 cm snow. Couldnt hardly come into the garage when it was windy.

Thanks for the pics Alan, a right hand drive Slick is just trippy.
The inside is lookin' just about as sweet as the outside, very nice!

Gday Gene, the pedals are the same as yours,I think the only difference with the controls is the blinker lever is on the right hand side of the steering wheel( on pre 90s models ) I have transit van for work and my wife has a PT cruiser, new this week ,they both have the blinkers on the left of the wheel.I did my slick the same to save confusion(and turning the wipers on while going around corners).Lefties are what we call catholics over here, some kind of bent humor I think.
