PAUL T Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 welll i just had to have it so i baught it 1967 hearse with the 429 its in kinda ruff shape but for the price $600 how can i go wrong? Sounds to me like a $600 yard ornament. I know what you mean about having to have one, I went through that phase, But the older I get the more I shy away from them.

67coupedeville Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 More than likely, the point type ignition needs attention. I'm not sure if many of today's mechanics know too much about them. You have any pics of the unit? Spence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

67coupedeville Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Change oil, clean carb, remove old fuel, fill with premium. These 67's are popping up everywhere: http://www.usedregina.com/classified-ad/41...-collector-cars Spence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caddynut Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Coming from much experience and the problems that arise from letting them sit. Change all fluids and ESPECIALLY clean your gas tank out and fill it with fresh fuel. I ruined a set of heads on my old Ford by using the old gas and it locked up my valves with sludge. Check your rubber brake lines and make sure they are not cracked. After doing the work...take it easy on it and drive just around locally to see if some other problems pop up.
