Just a shout out for Tim and his restoration of my HP-6 Vac. Advance. Tim reached out to me to advise and offer his restoration services for my advance after I had put out an inquiry about its restoration. I'm speaking to the choir about Tim here, but the job was exceptional and he even included two new mounting screws and a new "c" clip.......  Nice.

Thanks  Tim

You said to ask........... So, do you restore Vacuum advances?

Thanks

This is not my listing, I noticed it on eBay this morning. Here's the description:   

An original 68 Shelby owners manual for Shelby 04222. Includes the original owners name , address, purchase date and the selling dealers name. It is in Fair Condition with normal wear but no torn pages. No reserve and  free shipping.

Rec'd mine a couple of days ago, nicely done! 

This is not my auction - Just looked at this on eBay. Listed as Buy-it-now for $650. Info written in the cover lists: VIN:  8T03J165395-0210    Selling Dealer: Downey Auto Center out of CA.

Thanks... Ordered   

Thanks for the number   

  I've been looking for a person or company that does vacuum advance rebuilding without success. I have an HP-6 advance needing a repair/rebuild. I went to Tim O'Conner's website to find an advisement he is:  "CLOSED until further notice. Please do not send at this time." I did find a company in Australia that appears to do this rebuild, but I'm not inclined to send out of the county. Someone have a source?

Thanks

  So I've had my KR for a few years now. This might be simplistic and I would think noticeable, but when I first got the car I noted a good amount heat coming up thru the 4 speed shifter area. The rubber boot that covers the mechanism under the floor was missing. Replaced that and had a noticeable decrease in cabin heat.   

I wish he had a real website, can not stand Facebook.

So, I was looking up Drew to see a way to contact him. I did not find a way to do so. I am not on Facebook. So, is there another option to contact him??

Thanks everyone.......  Appreciate the responses!  (so far)        

  Ok, I just purchased an original Holley C80F-9510-AA carb and will be looking to have it restored. Does anyone have a good, reputable shop they have used? I've sent an inquiry to the Holley Custom Speed Shop on their services today.   

Thanks
Steve

I don't recall if I purchased my NOS appearing battery through these guys for my KR, but its an option. The battery I purchased cost Near $400. I think a Google search would find other vendors as well.

Thanks Steve!   I really am bummed to have to cancel. Been looking forward to the convention since finding out it was on the west coast this year. It would have been my first one.  The procedure I have to go through in on the Weds the 1st. Hopefully, I will be out of hospital by that evening. Plan on taking a drive or two in the KR for sure before and after!   

Hey all;     Wanted to advise that due to an unexpected medical issue I've had to cancel attending next weekends upcoming festivities      That said I just cancelled my reservation at the host hotel, so there is an opening. They may already have a waiting list for any cancellations but if not, I wanted someone to have the opportunity to get the room. 

Hope everyone has a safe weekend!  I know it will be fun.

Steve
