By "stuck," do you mean that the starter remains energized, or that the Bendix is sticking? Thoroughly clean the Bendix, grooves and all, with...
Pull the pressure plate and measure it, but it looks like 10" to me. I would use the stock starter--they are very good units.
Not sure I understand exactly what the problem is, but if you are concerned that the fasteners you are buying are not strong enough, you could get...
I have to say NAPA really has disappointed me this month. In the past I've purchased suspension parts for my Shoebox there, no problem. This...
Stick a bunch of pennies in them to stretch it. Once it's on, lifting the hood will cause the pennies to fall out.
It keeps the transmission from moving forward when you push the clutch.
For me, welding the nut onto the broken bolt is best done by TIG. I can see the penetration this way.
Very interesting thread, as I am just finishing a T5 swap into my '50 convertible with flathead. I'm using the round T-5 mount. I guess I had...
Ugly as f*ck.
Don't use an acid--all those springs will be ruined. Bead blasting would be best.
I have ECI on my shoebox. It still has the stock master, but i already have a kit to install a dual master. It does actually work fine with the...
They are for Fentons. They have the two bolt flanges and match the cast Fenton flanges perfectly. I just got off the phone with Jim at Red's...
Hi All, Does anyone have a pic showing a good way to run the driver's side exhaust on this car? Engine is flathead with cast Fenton headers,...
Wow, nice looking Eldo.
I wouldn't drive a mile on those. Tires are worth spending the money on.
I have a '53 Hornet, and I have to say it's a really great driving car. The stock motor is badass and I'd keep it if I were you. In addition,...
Flat fever must be catching...I just got mine put together (mostly) at six PM today. It has a Mercury crank, bored .060" over, 1.6" valves, and...
I would like to let you guys know that I too received an M-19 with an eccentric bypass seat which doesn't seal. I purchased the pump from...
Did you have any trouble bleeding it? I do the coils horizontally, not vertically, so that they can't trap air.
Odyssey
1982 ltd?
Really cool video, and the Galaxian looks great. Thanks for posting it.
What engine is in it now? If it's a 308, feel free to swap an SBC for it. I'll take that useless old lump of a 308 off your hands...even pay...
Whaddaya talkin' 'bout, can't you see how those body lines just FLOW...
Loading a shoebox Ford onto one of those two-wheel tow dollies, back before I had a proper car trailer. The car was inop, and I was by myself....
Not very old. It definitely way postdates that 265.
If not on a lift, I use the largest jackstands which will fit, with the floor jack left just touching the lift point as yet another backup...
Post of the year.
Looks great. How is the car lowered?
I have an Odyssey gel battery (the small one) mounted on a box on the frame under the floor.
