Technical What are you working on?

LOL! The reason the Dulux still looks good is because it hasn't completely dried yet!!!

 

Added a coil and a jumper wire.

fired up on the first hit. But shuts off.
Running on ether in a can
Built up almost 30psi just on the starter.

 

Is that a 6 volt coil? I'm sure you had this all covered but, other than I don't see the positive wire nor the ballast resister powering it which it will need and then some being ran on 12 volts, I don't see anything wrong with it.

 

12 volt coil.
No resistor ……..yet.
Just wanted to hear it hit
Positive jumper disconnected in the pic

 

Harvested another 6. A 250 this time. Ran good
Another future something engine. Should be my 4th or 5th sm420. So I guess I’m good for parts for the flatbed.

Got the spindles on the wife’s 56

 

I think your new handle should be something like "6 popper Tony"

 

Should we tell him that Chevrolet has been building V-8's since 1955.

 

6 in a row Antonio.

 

Crap. I got 9 or 10 of em laying around in the shop.

 

Putting -66 T-Bird seats in my -48, using reclining passenger seats for booth sides

 

putting the dash together on my 38 dodge coupe' . Still working on the glove box. Might strip it and start over .

 

Went up to my buddy's shop to lend a hand installing his new set of headers. He had sent them off to be Jet Hot coated.

 

Had an intermittent strange "ding-ding-ding" noise coming from the bell housing on my '53 pickup 235 with a "stomp" starter, swapped it out for a later solenoid starter, noise gone! It looks like the pinion gear would ride along the output shaft a little way and hit the tooth on the ring gear, which would push it back for a little while.

 

Had the same issue lately with a 54 and it turned out to be a weak return spring on the starter solenoid causing the drive to bounce off the teeth of the flywheel.
What starter did you use to in the retrofit?

 

It came from a '54 sedan as well. The original starter was the foot start type. At least now I can start it from the engine bay with a jump switch.

 

Smoking some cheese today.

 

Man oh man does that look good!

 

James,

You gotta get your roof over that soon. If you need an extra hand give me a call.

 

Was it the salt or the black that melted the snow off the shaker

 

For sure Mike. Spring time will be here soon.

 

Norb, we finally the temp got above freezing.

 

Got the gears set up in the 12 bolt tonight

 

So Johnny what would that look like if it was a Dana 60

 

My backordered parts arrived so I spent the afternoon painting the new crossmember and then drilling out 24 spot welds.



Got a pile of patina I can throw on the new paint to disguise it lol

 

More all thread.

 

Also big arms and a strong back!

 

Head liner last week, door panels this week. Both have been hard on my old knees.

 

Looks great!!
