This IS the same 350 that had to be redone thanks to someone installing the wrong rockers (non self-aligning). I tore it all the way down to a...
Ain't it bizarre? :confused: I'll go put a vacuum gauge on it and report back.
Got an HEI distributor on it. No MSD box or anything that would be causing problems. (I've read about that issue with dial-backs.) Bought an...
I've never had a problem with cutting coils. As long as you don't take too much out, you'll get the car down some. They say your spring rate...
No worries, I don't feel picked on. I did mark where it hit on both sides. The difference was exactly where the original TDC mark already is....
Here's a pic of the piston stop. I just gutted an old plug and threaded a 3/8" bolt into it with the head cut off. By the way I'm running Vortec...
Well I wanted to get into tuning the carb a little bit, maybe try leaning it out a touch for better mileage. But everyone always says to make sure...
Thanks John, and no offense, but are people not reading my original post? :rolleyes:
I should add that this is a fresh engine with a new chain not too long ago. The dampener outer ring hasn't slipped either (also brand new). I...
Terribad..
So....... my sbc 350 has a weird timing issue. Its reading 35 degrees initial, and 60 degrees total. Yes, I used a piston stop and made sure TDC...
I've always found the lettering to rub right off if you want it to. Makes it easy for a clean look.
Sweet build dude. The truck is looking solid! Next time you drive it up to Boston, give me a shout. We'll go do burnouts in a parking lot...
Got it. This is an open diff rear so I suppose grease shouldn't hurt anything. Thanks guys.
Just need a quick clarification. I'm replacing the axles in a 10 bolt 8.2, along with the end bearings and seals. I have new spicer bearings and...
Happy Birthday! Riviera's are SWEET!~
I have the SAME EXACT problem. Will be watching this thread closely.
Hey I'm all for a 4x4 '59 effie! Keep the progress coming.
I go about 2500 at 70. I figure its a smaller motor, but also makes a lot of torque. I get pretty good mileage in my '64, around 18 or 19 on the...
Yea I think those manifolds that exit at the rear will work well for you. Just judging from the pics.. You could also notch the frame a bit to...
Wow! It kinda messes with your head for a minute. ;)
Awesome truck! Really good work! I dig the color scheme. :)
I didn't know the difference between a short block and long block for the longest time. :rolleyes: Everyone learns eventually.
I don't see any pics?
Hey Sleeper, Chris actually had me pull the pan and see if I could get that valve out, but it was stuck up in there pretty good. Magnet nor needle...
