    Alternator=Kaput?

    Well, finally got a chance to take the alternator out. The unit on the CAV is a Delco unit with an internal regulator, with special bracketry to fir it to the 302. It also does not have the fan installed; perhaps to clear the bracket and in anticipation of little usage. I'm sure this is the...

    Alternator=Kaput?

    Thanks guys. The battery's still good, held 13V after an overnite charge. However, needle goes to 11.5 after idling for 2 mins. and turning on A/C, fan, and headlights. So I guess I'll have to take the alternator out for a bench test. Amazing what a 3-week sit in the garage will do...

    Alternator=Kaput?

    Since it almost hit a record-breaking 70 degrees yesterday, I drove all the toys. The CAV's battery seemed down when I cranked her up but started right up with a bit more sneezing and coughing from the Webers than usual. I noticed that the amp meter was a bit below 12V. Normally, when I rev it...

    Lucas dipping rearview mirror (UK)

    Thanks! I didn't even think about this as My CAV HAS a rearview mirror; I thought it would be a neat touch for my personal satisfaction (I doubt most people would know what it was). It was one of the nice detail items I spotted when I parked next to a real one at Captree last year, along...

    Lucas dipping rearview mirror (UK)

    I sniped this item but lost the auction to someone for £ 97.50. Then today, I got a "second chance" offer at £ 95. I decided to check on the seller's feedback and found out he bought this same mirror for $16 in the USA. It was originally advertised as a mirror for a Jag Mk III. :mad::mad::mad:

    NYS registration ?

    Eric, Arizona law enforcement has the progressive (and correct) attitude that a replica must have identifying numbers and descriptors that will associate it with a car it most closely resembles. IOW, if my GT40 was stolen, or involved in an accident, if the paper says 2007 Custom, what the heck...

    Purchasiong CAV Gt 40

    Welcome and congratulations, Mort. The CAV GT is a great machine. I know because I have one. It's older (#29) but I've upgraded it to mostly new spec. The new ones are gorgeous. You'll have a lot of fun with it. This forum is a great resource. The more you surf, you'll identify the CAV...

    NYS registration ?

    Thanks for the clarification, Ron. No fraud here. Actually, and looking at the semantics of the phrase, it would mean that the motor is a replacement motor that could be installed in a '66 Ford, not that it's a '66 motor.:D The car would be registered and titled probably as a "2007...

    Curious smell of gas.....

    My family always complained that the garage smells like gasoline; and my clothes reek of gasoline whenever I'm working on or driving the GT40. I have vented fuel caps on it (no upgrade). Now my garage houses the Cobra and 2 Mini Coopers as well - all carburetted and the Mini's have vented tanks...

    Are Metric Drilled Head Bolts available?

    Well, unless I take the joint apart, right now I have no choice as the bolt has to go through the insides of the CV housing full of grease, and the thread is on the other side, obviously. What I just did was put the bolt in, spray the end protruding on the other side with brake cleaner, put...
