Another chiming in that you're fine, probably even running oil a little too thick. The 10 psi per 1000 rpm is straight out of Bob's the Oil Guy as...
I'm messing with something and, long story short, a 52 flathad is going in a 55 truck. I have a 52 truck radiator and I will probably end up...
I have, in the car, a running flathead with 8CM heads. The car 99% all there, was originally bought as a project car but I am leaving the state...
I'm trying to not knock your ambition, but going away from roller if the block is already designed for it is the wrong way to go. The benefits far...
Yup, flathead. Thanks.
I just got my Offy 4 bbl intake in the mail and I was checking it out. Apparently, only 6 bolts on each side actually go to the block. There are a...
Put in what you want. Here's some points. 1. Leafs act as locators, coil springs will need some kind of locator, such as a panhard bar. Yes you...
Was going to say go for it if you are willing to work on it, but you already decided so Congrats! As for the tick, might just be a stuck lifter,...
I could try to explain, but here is a page with pictures, a parts list, etc. http://www.blert.net/comet/gen2alt/ If you want another way to do...
Fred, Wilbur, Daryl and Francis. You said name them.. :rolleyes:
Only one question... did he heat treat it to get the hardness back? If not, you are going to have some trouble down the road as the shifty part in...
Oh man, what a story! I don't have anything to add but if I was a shop owner and saw that booger welded tab on a piece of tubing and AN fittings...
Literally anyone can buy from the factory today something that will literally beat the pants off anything from 2000 and older. Performance...
Ford Washington Blue. Wilmington white highlights.
Other than nostalgia, I would V8 it. A straight 8 with no goodies and looking at actual use of the vehicle, I would get what I can use. I didn't...
I think there may be some confusion. TAILLIGHTS have to be red. They can be clear but the bulbs would then have to be red. BACKUP lights have...
If I am not mistaken, the length of the pushrod affects flow. If it's worn or the cam lobe is, it could affect output as well. Mine just eats...
I may have come off in a way I didn't intend so I re-read the OP post. I think I'm on the right track since Ryan made the cutoff for this place at...
In reply to the original poster, it's not that hard to figure out the newer cars. You can have error codes pulled at any cheesy parts store, go...
If the previous owner is so proud of silver seal, why didn't he do it himself and you would never have seen a leak? I used aluma seal and it...
ANY engine driven on the street should have thermostat(s). Its only purpose is to allow the engine to reach operating temperature quickly, then...
This type of thing....
The short answer is "probably not". Running the wire that has a diode into the idiot light circuit is usually enough to kill it when you turn the...
Here's an idea. Leave the 5/16" fitting as a drain. Also, you just hit on the other half of the idea, run your fuel line through the top of the tank.
Measure your axles diagonally. Left front tire to right rear, right front to left rear. If that number is not the same, you will track funny.
I just gotta say this one little thing. You didn't google them, check out their site, look at their work? I just cam from their site and I wasn't...
I was taught this in HS auto shop. still do it today.
I can attest that my 1300cc bike gets 45 mpg, day and night. My 1.6 supercharged Mini gets 26 on a good day. They are both fun to drive without...
In a word, they won't interchange. Ford is very bad at interchangeability. You might luck out and get just the right mix of parts, but for...
