Check with TLea here; Tim can advise you, if you want one that is made spot-on.

Gentleman,

I have very limited space at my house in the city: a 2 car driveway/ one car garage/ and one car carport with a garage door. Yes. It does suck. So I need to make the most of it until I move in a few years.

I am considering a 4 post lift so I can raise my GT350 up and drive another car I need inside underneath it, or pull the lower car out and work under the car on the lift. There are a bunch of lifts out there out now. I need a 4 post lift I believe.

Has anyone purchased a lift and set one up (or had something else set it up) and would recommend it? Or perhaps you don't like the lift you have and I should avoid it?

You might want to look at this portable unit , considering your height restrictions
https://www.bestbuyautoequipment.com/2-post-portable-car-lift-system-dannmar-maxjax-p/dannmarmaxjax.htm

My measurements are really tight:

Height limitation: Their is a beam that is 9 (108") foot from the concrete the lift would sit on.
Width Limitation: The carport is 9 foot wide (108 ")
Length limitation:and 16 feet long(192")

That's roughly the size that the lift can be.

Thank you for your time.

Mark

Certainly sounds like a fuel delivery issue,,  not a damn thing to do with oil. Especially after 150 miles of "carefree" driving.  Either float levels are off , or something is clogging up the filter /needle and seat. Sediment, rust, deteriorated seals/gaskets , etc as has been suggested already. Good luck ! Try the easy stuff first

Like this one...worked a block away from Koons @ 7 Corners

About 6 years ago. Coming home from dinner at a local seafood restaurant with the wife in 1588. Pulled to a stop light in front of our courthouse on the main drag. A carload of young guys came up beside us in rice burner with fart can exhaust and were egging me on. Light changed and I lit em up for a second or two. Almost immediately the blue lights came on, State Trooper , car right behind me.

Did the whole " how much have you had to drink tonight? Where you going?" Etc. Sobriety field test. Trooper ask "what was that all about?" I responded, "just showing my ass", he says "guess its easy to slip your foot off the clutch, pretty car" Go home . Thanked him, but didn't tell him it was an auto.

Ok, thanks for the replies. I do know what seat risers look like, and I am well aware that repo parts are not exactly like original factory assembly line parts. My question concerns the existence or non-existence of a center brace that ran across the bottom of the risers. I do not remember ever cutting out a 66 so not sure if that brace was present or not.

Not Shelby maybe , but .... did the 66 cars have a center brace as part of the seat risers? I have seen comments from others who bought risers and complained that they did not come with the "center brace" . Others in the replacement parts business say none existed ? Pics of Goodmark replacements do show a brace ... which was it ? I'm confused

Thanks, Steve

Maybe a bit of lacquer thinner.. strong and evaporates quickly.

Hot as hell...  and not a tree in sight...

Pete (and all others of knowledge) - remember it took 9 years to "fine tune" the old forum. And most A-holes eventually learned to play by the rules or left. This re-start will probably also take some tuning. But if you and others like you abandon ship....it's gonna sink.
JMHO

Damn...pages are taking forever to load !  And I hate that all the great data from the old forum was lost, a real shame. Now I have to ask all the same stupid questions I've already ask over the past 17 years..

Well, actually 10 years and 3 months to be exact. It was November of 2007 when the old forum started (correct me if I'm wrong). Yes, we did loose 10 years of shared technical knowledge and details which will be a challenge to replicate. So going forward I say ask the questions. We may have heard them before, but knowing this is the new forum V2.0 everyone will understand. I for one lost my 1100+ posts as did Dan Case and unlike others who lost 10,000+ like Bob Gaines, Coralsnake etc. My focus was only 65 GT350/R Models, Webers and NorCal Shelby events. I didn't post all that often and definitely stayed away from the one word posts (which some use that tactic to drive their numbers up So it seemed).
Anyway, I too will ask or start/recreate past technical posts as I used them as a reference. I've been holding off to see if Computerworks/Ron can salvage anything more. Patience...

Cheers

Would you rather have a 'Bentley' or a 'Shelby'?

I'd rather my wife have her rear

Yea ! glad to see the speed is back up to par. 2007 huh? Wonder who I ask all my stupid questions those first 7 years of ownership? Damn shame all of that good stuff was lost...

Are they round or flat?? A picture is worth a thousand words.. maybe some heat from a heatgun? If the batteries are dead and vent caps are off.
