Good taste in cars! I have a 1973 GP/SJ that is very restorable, but there's no market for that car right now (or even before). It does have a 455 w/TH400 and "Opera Windows" though.

I made a tool that works great using 5/8 All Thread and a few large washers

Call me a paranoid engineer, but I do not think that hardware store grade all thread, nuts and washers are strong enough for long term or multiple time use. Hence my use of grade 8 hardware and hardened link chain instead.

I agree yours is a safer method, I am a bit of a daredevil and after moving the car via flatbed, the all thread has bent and the car has lowered itself, this method works great to get the pins in and out quickly, however its for short term half retarded use. I currently have sockets sitting in the gap as my adjustable pins are being fabbed. Cheers!

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the PDF containing the blueprint for the J-6065 tool? The PDF attached to post #22 has vanished over time.

I am aware that replicas are for sale, but the price adds up with shipping to Sweden. If I had the blueprints I could make my own replica of the tool at my workplace. Besides, it'd be fun to try.

I believe one of these is the one in the link but if not, do not know who originally posted them.

Appears to be the known file name corruption during server migration. Seems some/many/all files with the extension ‘PDF’ were renamed to ‘dl_attachment.php’. You can download the PHP file and rename the extension to PDF. I think the original file name is lost.
