Hey guys, So after I got home, I pulled the pump and looked in there with a mirror and the flexible camera. The eccentric is there. I got a friend...
Thanks guys. I’m going to try to take a peek at it tonight after work. If I see anything weird, I’ll probably grab an extra electric pump from...
Hey guys, I'm messing with a Y block for the first time. Trying to get it fired up, but I have no fuel getting to the carb. The vehicle is a '64...
EDIT: I cleaned up and removed that fitting. It is a fitting for oil pressure. Thanks anyway! Hey guys. I just picked up a ‘64 Ford F100 4x4,...
A lathe is one of those tools where after you have one, you wonder how you got along without one.
Well, I didn't see this come up back in Jan. of 2020, but I suppose I should update on the saga that is the my life which of course includes this...
Not currently, but once I get a garage rebuilt I intend to get started on one of my dream customs. A '36 Ford 3 Window coupe. She has been...
You'll have to excuse our improvised run stand, but here is a '49 331 running 390 heads. If the '55 331 has the same rocker ratio as a 390, I'm...
It looks like I found a friend who can help me out, but thank you!
Bump for the Friday night crew
Hey guys, I was wondering if there was anyone in the Freeland WA area, that would be able and willing to look at a truck for me. Is so, please...
Ours was bored to .030 over. Not for clearance, just because we were building a fresh engine and that was the next step in bore. We don’t quite...
The engine we did it on is a '49. I'll try to get some more info.
I did till I lost it in the Lake Fire in August. It had a hydraulic feed, but I never tried it. All I was able to salvage from it was the bed,...
I don't remember off hand, and I don't want to give you incorrect information, so I'll look into it when I'm back at the shop this week.
That's great news! I wish them luck.
We put some 390 heads on a 331 at the shop. It was not bored to 4". If I recall correctly, we had pushrods made, I'd have to check on that. The...
Thank you. Yea, it can certainly be a tough choice on what to do with a car like that. Troy was content with leaving it just how it is, except...
Good video, but it was pretty light on one particularly charming, and handsome individual. ;) I'm about as bias as you can possibly get, but I...
Thanks guys, I'll check them out.
Yea, the pointer was there. It was a perfectly functioning tach till it vibrated loose in there on Sunday. The two screws from the back were in...
Well, I was able to open the tach by getting the plastic off the back of the gauge. it doesn’t look too good in there though. The needle is...
I’m sure someone has been inside one of these before. The plastic on the back is already a little cracked, so if it doesn’t come off, I don’t...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Hey guys, yesterday the face of my Sun tach came loose inside the housing. I’ve pulled it off so that I can repair it. My...
What a blast from the past. That was a fun build. I'm proud of that car, I'd love to see it again, I hope that truck has been thoroughly enjoyed...

[ATTACH] I’ve got a torque tube and banjo rear end center. I don’t know what it came out of. Free for pickup in Lake Hughes, CA
Awesome. Thank you guys. Fordors, it has a brown 24004 cap in fantastic shape. The issue with it not spinning, is still an issue with the cap...
Hey guys, I have recently acquired some Cadillac 331 stuff, in which a Mallory Magspark distributor and transformer were included. So looking at...
Yes, those are the floats.
