of all the old cars

On 351w engine,it says M / T on the valve covers.What does that stand for? Not important,just curious.



Also my car is coming along slow but sure.Havent worked on it for 3 weeks though.It got on my nerves a bit so i thought i'd leave it alone for a while. Everythings on the rear end.Done part of interior,but when something gets on my nerves i leave it alone and start on something else,then go back to it.Assembled some of the front parts,headlights,put windows back in the doors,mirrors. Not sure where some of the weatherstrip fits,so i need some help on that if anyone is willing to give me some pointers !! I think i may have put the drivers door weatherstrip on wrong,as the door dosent shut like it should,it leaves a bit of a gap.I need to compare to a similar car,but don't know anyone round here who owns one.You can see it in one of the pics



I'm beginning to think it was a bit too much work for me to take on alone.First time i have tried to do up an old car,and i think its probably the last



Anyway,here's the pics of progress so far.Newest pics are at the end.

Aw, Erik, I was gonna say that he sells tires. Sort of like the guy on the Tire Kingdom commercials.

Well we cant all know everything mate.Like i said,I'm new to all this stuff. To learn things,one has to ask questions,no matter how obvious they may seem to some people.

Now look, you gave the old fart a heart attack....

First set of DOT approved drag tires, M/T is most known for his tires.

Except you can't sell anything when you've been MURDERED.

Who?

That's OK. I had to learn what MAF, IAC, TPS, VSS, TVC, CCP, BFD, FOAD, and of course, TIWMMOB meant. We all gotsta learn sumpin' sumtym.

Sorry about that.My question maybe should have had a health warning in the subject line before i asked it :-)

You're kidding... right?

And, to add a bit more... If your car has M/T valvecovers they are aftermarket. Someone before you put them on (just cuz they look kool!)

That used to be the first thing I did when I got a car.... Headers, M/T valve covers, and (if budged allowed) a new intake and carb !!
