They did figure it out and make it work in the Thunderbird Supercoupe. That car uses an 8-rib blower belt. There is a belt from the crankshaft...
Has anyone ever seen a car done with truly realistic flames? Like photo-realistic? I wonder if anyone has ever attempted that. I suspect that...
That's pretty cool! I like the "gold tooth". It somehow avoids being corny.
I think the 7008597 is an old GM part number. I found a lot of carbs by searching under that number. Example:...
I am not a pro at this, but I would guess either over-current or over-voltage. For the current side ... There could be some improper wiring...
Corvairs are definitely cool. And on the value scale, they are near the top. I don't quite get the V8 conversion ideas, though. They can go...
Meanwhile, a few towns away, John Thomas works at his second job, hoping that in a few months he will have enough set aside to give his Cadillac...
I think those polyurethane boots are a bad idea. They barely fit, and they lack retaining rings like many OEM boots have. The Moog boots would...
Nice, thanks for the info. There's one on eBay right now. Not in bad shape, for under $3k. Tempting, but can't do it at the moment.
I like it ... But for the life of me, I cannot figure out what it is. So ... what is that thing?
Cheap and quick? I would suggest this: [IMG] http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FRM-FV184/ plus this: [IMG]...
Maybe a bad connection on the spark plug wires? Or a weak fuel pump? Or something wacky with the carb?
The "dyno", short for dynamometer, is what checks your power. The "dino", short for dinosaur, is what makes the power. RIP, T-Rex! :D Nice!...
I think this post gets most to the heart of the matter. If air worked digitally, cams wouldn't really have overlap. But since it takes a while...
Hmm, there you go. It's cool ... but I don't know, it's just odd to me. It would go faster at altitude, so why bother running it on the ground?...
Wish you had told me that before I bought the Phantom. :rolleyes:
I basically agree with you. If the wheels don't drive the thing ... Wouldn't it just be simpler to put mag wheels on an old F-4 Phantom and call...
Some of those center-takeoff racks have been known to fail. Apparently, the bolts connecting the tie rods to the rack are mounted in single-shear...
Yikes. Well, at least it wasn't your jugular vein or the artery in your wrist. Thanks for the cautionary tale! I will definitely armor up...
It shouldn't be on the car if it's not functional, right? So if you are going to include a tap handle, it must dispense something. -...
I agree that your neighbor is way out of line. (I believe there are 2 separate neighbors in this conversation, and I am referring to the one with...
A.) Is it a typical setup with 2 bronze sleeve bearings and a pin? B.) What size is the pin? What size are the holes in the hinge? C.)...
Glad you are ok, and the truck is too. In hindsight ... Most any auto damage is fixable. Bodily harm is not always. So I might have let the...
Is that blue-green the same color that came in the center of the T-Bird logo in certain years? I like it. Good looking car.
I think the ridge reamer is really best used just to take the ridge down so you can get the pistons out of the bore without the rings hanging up...
Sounds like he needs to either drop the price, pony up some real cash to get the cab and frame extended, or start posting classifieds in Short...
Hey, at least it's all one piece and not full of holes! :)
Nice catch. Maybe the two smallest drill bits broke? :D
Pretty nice work there. I am impressed by how every few days, you find a rusted out piece that's even more complex and annoying than the one...
'Cause then there'd be nothing to shoot at. ;)
