I love Casey Kasem reruns on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Through the week I'm still listening to classic 70s - 80s hits. Albert Sent from my...
Sounds like you need to figure out what parameters you want first. Thousands of engines to choose from and all are different in one way or...
Sounds like an air flow issue more so than internal restriction. If you're able to drive with out issues, the water pump is working. Granted it is...
Done this to 5-ton industrial units. Surprising what a lil dawn or washing soap can slick.
Phenomenal work on your build! Many great ideas for various problems! Albert
I tried to get the wheel knuckle bushings in today and have had the worst time. To get these out took almost the same amount of force as the...
Neighbor does NOT own it. By state, the truck will be owned by the last person it was registered or titled under, ie the father. The neighbor...
Beautiful project and stunning work. I'm subbing immediately.:D
If tightening more doesn't help, they're most likely weren't assembled correctly. In terms of getting them apart, I'd start with a map gas mini...
I knew the emblems weren't right for the year. When my dad got them, he thought he had a 1958 Chevy 3100. When I worked on the title we found out...
Finally able to get back to work after my first week of class. I also had to wait for my spring spacers and valve stem seals to arrive from Comp...
Kids, this is class Sent from my SM-G960U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Awesome find! Definitely just a lil paint loving and rubbing before showing her off. The rear fenders are done exceptionally well (they hav......
I ran into this issue just a while ago! The TH475 is noisy but makes up for it in power Additionally, the output shafts are the same 32 tooth...
Damn kingpin was the hardest thing to get off this truck thus far. Took a map gas torch to it, it laughed. 20 oz carpenters hammer and brass rod,...
I love working alone. Every time I find myself working with others I don't like the way they work. If someone else joins in either they're asking...
Gorgeous work! Definitely art in the making. Also shows us how patients and slowness work on an engine.
Best one I ever had removing the negative terminal from the battery
It sounds like you're still low on power. Yank the battery and take it to autozone or Napa, ect. If you tested the battery with a standard...
Finished sandblasting all the shackles, u-bolts, steering arms, and the shock mounts. Some of the old paint was disgustingly hard to remove o_O...
Working on my early nineties ranger trying to install new injectors. To do this the upper plenum had to be removed. Needless to say an injector...
I called on pops but he doesn't remember but I believe they're relatively fresh. When I look at V.S.I. 203 from cylinder supply, there's the A203...
I believe you are right. Originally I believed they were booster shims. But I checked around and saw that these were for seating. I measured the...
First head complete! [ATTACH] Then, I realized I made a dummy mistake. I didn't notice that there were valve spring spacers under the first head...
I've been looking for a decent deal but its a waiting game in Vegas. Does anyone know where to find HO52 wheel seals? I'm going to do the...
Before I began my build I read through that page! I loved the work for the disc conversion. That'll be something for years down the road. I've...
I was still debating if I wanted new ends and/or inserts or go ahead with modern tie rods. I'm leaning to the modern set. Where do I find them? I...
I'm with DDDenny. Air inflow through the radiator and out of the engine bay is almost as equally crucial. I think its too often overlooked when...
I got through cleaning one head today. A good diesel soak overnight softened any old oil/gas. Carb cleaner destroyed any hard to reach buildup....
Spent yesterday and today completing the short block of the SBC 350. The only two hiccups I had were reversed labeled mains and the oil pump. The...
