I just put one in my Ranchero, its somewhere between 51 and 52, hard to measure with the pumpkin in the way....but definitely no more than 52"
I'm lovin' this post, so B.T.T.Frickin'.T.
Perfect......Thanks!
Anybody know the outside diameter of the 50 Pontiac taillight housing?
Also, If you are using an engine equipped with serpentine drive, and are going to v- belts, the water pump will need to be changed, it spins...
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the pump eccentric is in there. One more thing to remember, those later efi 302s used the 351w firing order....
I did dirty work....D.A. ed a new pair of fenders for the front of my daily Ranchito.....pictures of the sweet new Kustom frontend next week.....
I've heard of guys running a glasspack in only one pipe, with the other pipe straight, supposed to sound great.
If you were going for a period perfect mid- 60s look, a Corvair IFS would be tits.....
Definitely check out NW speed in lake oswego. If you find yourself in the St. Johns area, thres a fully restored Signal gas station thats cool to...
Is your accelerator pump adjusted correctly? what kind of carb is it?
DID YOU SAY HOT RODS TO HELL??????? I'm in......I fucking love that movie....
FIXED!!!!!! The front yoke was spread apart slightly, allowing the u-joint to walk around when it was at speed....Fortunately, I happened to have...
I just returned from dropping off the driveshaft. He sighted down it and says it has a slight twist to it. I couldn't see it, but the guy I took...
The yoke is about 6 inches long, so its quite a bit longer than the GMs..I'm taking the driveshaft over to a guy this morning to have it spun up...
I think I may have found something....I pulled the driveshaft, and it looks as though the front yoke is off center....barely, but off center. I'm...
Thanks, Andy that makes sense....I'll go put the magnetic angle finder on it....
So 1 inch equals 1 degree?
The driveshaft hasn't been modified at all, I switched from an auto to a 3 speed, but that's not when the vibration started. I put on new wheels...
Sorry about the double post, I must still be shaking.....
My 62 Ranchero is shaking the shit outta me....Heres the symptoms: The vibration starts at about 45 mph, and gets progressively worse until about...
OK, so you have a 3.03 transmission, and you want to match it up to a 65 block....Fortunately for you, the bellhousing and clutch you need is...
Take a look at the trans, and give some details. Is it a topload with a 4 bolt cover? if so, it's a 2.77. If its a topload with a 9 bolt cover,...
Seems like I've heard the 292 is the one to have anyway? Something about it being more desirable than the 312 because of the shorter stroke, or...
Its probably either a 250, or most likely a "LM200" (low mount 200) which would be an early 80s engine. The 6 with the low starter mount is not...
I was pretty sure it would, the date code on the trans is 63, and I know Ford was still using the y-block at that point.
Another good tip: If you ever take a check, take it to the bank it was drawn on, NOT your bank...If you cash it at your bank, and its bad, they'll...
The advent of the internet has been a double-edged sword.....It allows us to find parts and cars easily, but it also opens us up to all kinds of...
If you have to ask the question, "is this a scam?", it most likely is......
