I know this is a short notice kinda deal and I am trying to find out a bit more about the details. Needless to say some friends of ours are...
It depends on how far you are tearing the truck down. I have a '59 and one tool that tuned out to be a blessing was a propane torch. In the...
The data plate is on the glovebox door. It threw me for a loop on mine.
Shane, Not sure what killed the battery but a couple thoughts. I have killed batteries overnight doing all sorts of things. The AM in mine was...
Maybe I am off here, but I would figure that the 9" in the truck probably is shared with quite a few other years and models. If it is a stock...
Because of their air-cooled nature, Corvairs heads were designed with hardened valve seats. It is pretty well common belief that this pretty well...
Yeah there is some truth to it. But think of it like adding water to that last bit of milk to make it stretch until you can afford to get more....
I got my '59 F100 running for all of about 6 weeks. In that time I had the clutch explode, brakes went to shit, clutch master blew, and I spent...
Looks to have been a great show. Too bad there are just too damn many people around Hemet I don't want to run into. Ever.
Thanks guys. I had grabbed the tape measure yesterday and when I got that width and length and then did a quick check of the doghouse, I was...
Hey chicken coop, did you use stock exhaust, or did you have to go with headers? Any chance there you have some pics of that combo in yours?...
I finally drug out the 400. After I realized that the original 292 in my '59 was toast, I kinda lost steam. Anyway, I started doing some...
I prefer keeping it simple myself. [IMG] Those are stock dog dishes that I buffed out and put on. IIRC, the Z cars rims were a direct fit,...
If it is the car, this person also has a house for sale on craigslist with a maps link... http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/reo/1692708952.html...
There should be a screw on the other side off the linkage arm. That is where you adjust the idle speed. The one at the bottom of the body should...
Yeah sorry. The pulley will move while the belt remains stationary. Basically you cinch the idler up, but while you are doing that, give the...
You would not believe how many belts I flung, and blew to pieces. When I finally was taught the trick on how to adjust the belt, I could keep one...
Can be Common reasons were overtightened belt Cheap belt Bad pulleys Remember there is a lot happening to a Corvair belt. When you put one...
2 finals and a junkyard run. Got a replacement start and solenoid for my Ford. And a water pump pulley and alternator for my girl's Fiat.
A real basic thing to check are also the spark plugs. We have a '73 390 that likes to work them loose every few months. When it happens, you will...
A couple of things. Depending on the computer, it may be worth to just see about replacing the optical drive. If you have noticed that trying to...
The quality of the build is outstanding. But the rear looks so busy compared to the front. Yes there is that hug chromed grill and and the...
You certainly did. But I felt it may be better to create a thread that focused on the 335 series motor, since I originally started the other at...
My starter is acting up, so I know the numbers were a bit low. I did test it on my bike and had very good numbers. So even thinking that I was...
Keep it coming guys. I really do appreciate any knowledge that can be offered.
Thanks for the links, I am reading up on them. I am lucky n the fact that I already have a mated trans. A C6 of unknown vintage, but it is all...
Thanks for the response okiewelder. Out of curiosity, since you have one in a work truck. What kind of mileage do you get out of that truck? And...
Well all, I am looking at a Stock 400 engine that we have stored out back. My Yblock is having issues and I am not too positive that I will be...
From what I was always told, going synthetic required a very good engine. Since it had a tendency to find every weak seal, or poor tolerance in an...
I do this a lot myself. I call it working by braille. One thing I noticed is that you *have* to keep your eyes shut when doing this. Otherwise...
