You could heat that union up with a torch and get it apart but I'd bet you would find that the seats in it are worn out. Just replace it while...
The brakes are just good old non-self-adjusting brakes. Parts catalog shows that the newest application for those shoes is the 1962 Corvette, I'm...
See kids, this is meth talking... The bottom dollar is the price it's listed for. If I wanted less, I would have posted it for less. Any time I...
Yeah, the SBC and the Atlas that was available in 1953 really flowed well :rolleyes: What does 6v vs 12v have to do with the amount of ignition...
I honestly can't give you an opinion one way or another on the hydraulic vs solid debate. The three 261 powered cars I have are all hydraulic...
I just remembered something. If you've swapped the cam, the replacement could be ground wrong. I read somewhere that pretty much every stovebolt...
Sorry, I had assumed that you were taking it to a shop because you were unsure how to handle it yourself. My car is a 1958 Canadian Pontiac, so...
Looks like Onan or something similar.
Why not spend the money on some proper, basic tune-up tools and parts, then make sure it's actually running 100% correct by doing it youself...
Make sure to find a streetrod website to post about it on. :rolleyes:
I'm sure someone will tell me it's wrong but I use 2-stroke oil in my oil bath. I figure, it's made to be burnt if it makes it through the mesh....
The 261 and three-speed in my Canadian Pontiac keeps up with traffic just fine and has no problems on the highway. It's a hydraulic lifter engine...
I've asked for a catalog from them three times in the last year. No catalog yet but plenty of spam e-mail. Looks like Eckler's will be getting...
I've done string alignments on my racecars for years with no problem. Here's a good write-up:...
Just rebuilt my 1932 Southbend toolroom lathe. I've also got a Lanagan and Hoke distributor machine. It was made for flathead distributors but...
Yup. Think of it like the 305 / 350 engine family. Our 261 is just a bigger 235. Shawn
No, you missed it, he paid a girl $100 to ride in his car :D
I've got a couple of them. The Canadian CAR 261 is the same setup as a 235, bypass oil with hydraulic lifters and the Corvette/truck camshaft....
^ A guy with an amphicar calls something a "stupid idea" :)
I though hotrods were supposed to be simple. Not filled with Rube Goldberg crap. Shawn
Thanks guys! Shawn
Love this bit: I just appreciate that there are young guys around that share the same lack of sensibility that I did as a kid. It makes me think...
I'm headed to Seattle for a couple days after the Monroe swap meet and I was wondering if anyone in the area could reccomend some fun or...
I guy I worked with for a short time owned a motorcycle repair shop when he was younger. He told me that if a customer brought a bike in to have...
It's right here in the text: With both principals dead, and no paper trail, the intellectual property dispute is framed anecdotally, If both...
You're correct, I deserved that :D I like the blues and the surf rock, overall, I loved the movie. I can't play anything but the stereo so I'm...
Got mine yesterday! Loved the movie but I still am not a fan of punk rock. It sounds like the special-ed students got into the band room. Other...
Fixed that for you.
The Axle, spring and hairpins showed up today. Donor car is home. As soon as I can find my shop floor, I'll get started :) Shawn
Hilti does the same thing with their tools. Shawn
