I have a Millermatic 211 and love it. Hobarts and Lincolins are good, pretty much the same. Id search Craigslist. Stay away from Harbor Freight...
I think I still have the original pitman arm from my 62 Biscayne in the garage. Swapped it out with all new parts from CPP. I can send it to you...
Hey guys, Looking for shops in the Chicagoland area to do the floors/braces/rockers and some body work on my 62 Biscayne. Don't need anything...
Mains are 030, rods are 040. Still kicking around what I wanna do. The more I look at the inside of the block the more I notice how beat up it...
The more I think about it the more I'm starting to head in this exact direction. I'll have to check out that cam. The one I had found before was...
Yeah, I know it's tough without actually seeing it. I do know it has a forged crank and the gear drive and the Pistons look new(er). They seem...
I can definitely feel a ridge in them, which is weird because I can also still see the crosshatching in the sleeves. I'll have to check the...
10-4, thanks. That's what I was thinking too. I also forgot to mention, the block is all chipped up at the base of the bores (at the "V") where it...
Hey Guys, I recently got the itch to tackle an engine build from start to finish for the first time. I have a 62 Biscayne I wanted to do a period...
I wondered about this too, but they can only go on one way. The sway bar tabs are welded on the bar that faces the front of the car. And the...
I checked this yesterday, my service manual had a dimension for the difference between the lower ball joint boss from the ground and the pivot...
Yeah, the cross member sag was a thought. I did measure frame width just in front of the cross member and came up about dead on (1/16th short,...
Hey Gents, Having a bit of a rough time trying to figure out some front end suspension issues with the 62' Biscayne and I could use some help....
Up next: floor pans. Yikes.
Quick update: pulled the steering shaft out, noticed there was a pretty well worn groove in it near the top. Looked in the tube and there's some...
Good call. I'll try it out tonight. Thanks for all your help, much appreciated. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Well, I kinda feel dumb haha. Would the absence of the wheel produce the sounds from the YouTube video I posted above? Posted using the Full...
There was, yeah. This column actually hasn't been in the car or had a wheel attached yet. I got it from eBay as a rebuilt column. Before I put it...
Yeah, I figured it's tough not being able to see it in person. I took the shaft out and the attached photos show what I found. The shaft has...
I should add: this is the only thing keeping me from taking the car for it's inaugural ride! Just got it running. I'm tempted to just throw the...
Hello fellas, got an issue here. I picked up a rebuilt 62' (or 61, not sure) steering column for my Biscayne. It was converted from an auto to...
QUICK UPDATE: all healed up and back working on the car. Tried starting the car this past weekend and failed. It would sputter but wouldn't catch....
Sorry everyone. I've been sidelined due to an injury (sliced my hand open and have stitches all across my palm) so it's been tough to get anything...
Also, I tried taking a video to capture the sound and it's inaudible. So low you can't hear it over the starter. Posted using the Full Custom...
Accessories checked out. Pulled the fuel pump, plate, and rod and removed the belt. Now after doing all this, I jumped back in the car and hit the...
Pic didn't work. Trying again... <a href='http://i.imgur.com/Cfq74Gr' title=''><img src='http://i.imgur.com/Cfq74Gr.jpg' alt='' title='Hosted by...
Well guys, here is an update. I bared the cold tonight and got some more info: Oil pan is dent free. I peered into the 2nd starter hole on the...
Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. I have several items to investigate. I'm running a scattershield and blockplate instead of a standard...
I'll investigate that for sure. I have not turned it over by hand since putting on the alternator (new) and fuel pump (new), so possibly one of...
Hey Guys, I tried using the search to find previous threads that dealt with this but came up empty, so here goes: I've got a 62' Biscayne...
