9" rear ends had a small diameter and a large diameter axle with 28 spline. They also had a small and large diameter bearing. By cordinating the...
If the pinion is not centered on your current rear end, consider just narrowing one side 2" or so, so that the pinion is centered. Before you...

Sounds like an exhaust leak to me if it is on one blank under power. If you are going to spend money on new heads buy aluminum. They breathe...
I don't think you are running enough ignition timming. I say bump it 2 degrees at a time until it cleans up then kill it and try to start it. If...
I like the your coupe too ... the A grille shell sets it off since every body else seems to want to use a 32 grille.
I love that picture especially when it is in black and white or shadow( whatever its called). I too have wondered about where it came from and...
Why not rebuild the ones you have? kits are only a couple bucks. Brake cylinder hones are inexpensive too. Sorry no pun to the computer guys but I...

Yes that is true....so it is not a chevy rear end. I don't think it's the case here but I have seen the studs changed for Bolts. The wheel bolt...

I accidently deleted my post, So to answer your question Johnny, no 54 's were still in closed drive. what I believe is that is a 55-62 truck...
That looks really good!!
It is likely serapes have been thrown over seats as a temporary cover till the owner of a HotRod could do better,has been going on for ever but...
The problem is the belt is not tight enough. The belt on a generator does have to any more tension than reqired to make it turn. It charges all...
Actually a 67-81Camaro/Firebird rear end is more suitable and the 73-87 Chey Truck rear ends are even good if you want to use a late rear end.
I don't think the Vette master cylinder will bolt to the Ford pedal bracket so I suggest you look at a 70's era master Cylinder for a Mustang with...
