I suspect that my '70 Catalina 2dr hardtop will be a keeper. I'm planning a full restoration right now and I already pretty much know that I'll never get what I will have in it back out if I sell....

I hadn't looked too closely at the sending unit. I tried to clean the housing up the best I could, but there was so much oil on it that it was still difficult to ascertain the source of the leak....

As of today the Catalina is back on the road. It has also been pressed into service as my daily for a few weeks since my girlfriend's Nissan SUV developed rear-end problems and she is now borrowing...

I always get a little chuckle out of model year questions about my Catalina since it has original 1970 Texas license plates that say 1970 on them. I suppose not everyone knows that you can only use...

In my area, the young guys and the older guys seem to be two very separate groups for the most part. There is a meet in a Target parking lot near my work that sees a huge assortment of ricers and...

More good news! A few days ago I removed the fan and fan clutch to begin to address the squeaking. I decided to run the engine just long enough to see if the squeaking was still present with those...
