Hello from the People's Socialist Republic of California.
The first thing you need to do is purchase an original factory service manual. I'm not talking about one of those fosdick Haynes manuals or Motors...
There's the perfect response. Bravo. :D
See, there's the simple answer, but we had to wade through 17 posts to get it. Few people think in simple terms any more. Makes me nuts.
Hello from the People's Socialist Republic of California. Nice lookin' ride.
So Jim, the photo shows a street plate. Am I to understand that you plan to run the beast on the street with no front brakes?
HUH? What kind of vehicle is this?
The knowledge available on this forum just knocks me out.
Too funny :D A motor/trans that you slide into place, wire up and go down the road should be worth at least $1000. Hell, it'll cost that much just...
I don't know the type of acid used by law enforcement, but if it were mine, I'd brush on some muriatic acid (swimming pool acid) before doing...
These procedures will not find an internal leak, where the bottom of the ports are open to the crankcase and the cylinders are pulling oily air...
Well, I guess a guy is either smarter than the carburetor.....or he's not. :eek:
Another common misconception. Pressure is not what keeps the motor fed, VOLUME is what keeps the motor fed. Use large supply lines (1/2" minimum...
This is a common mistake, setting the pressure too high and allowing the pressure to overcome the needle and seat. When that happens, the pump...
Here's a 5-part video series......watch and learn...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrGtjOjo6xY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrvciRRd2Ac...
Interesting to note that the chain is driving the left-side rotor instead of the right, a result of the crank running counter-clockwise as viewed...
fenderwell headers, gotta have fenderwell headers!!!!!
The driveshaft tunnel on those cars is pretty narrow, so I suspect that the previous owner was simply trying to center the pinion so that the...
I agree, if you have no oil filter, then there is little reason to use a detergent oil and break loose more crud. The best fix is a complete teardown.
Thank you for your insightful contribution. When's the last time you worked a tech line?
Very well said. Common sense to the fore. :D
OMG, he IS talking about leaf springs!!:eek:
That was my first thought when I read his post.:eek:
The reason you don't want me there teching is because I know the rules and you wouldn't have much of a show with all the slackers back in their...
Whatever works.
If you're not in a hurry, attach a socket and 6-foot bar to the crank. Cover the pistons with automatic transmission fluid and give the bar a yank...
Looked to me like the front bar is what knocked him silly. The rulebook says that the cage must be padded ANYWHERE the helmet may come in contact...
Probably the same reason there was no SFI 45.1 padding in the cage. And the same reason the driver's helmet was right up against the bars at the...
The Gen II hemi showed up in '64.
I'm pretty sure that if you talk with David Kee again, he'll recommend that you sling that adapter over the fence. That thing is just busted parts...
Separate names with a comma.
