When piecing together the power control for your roller project check the compatibility of the components. Make sure the foot control has an...
I prefer a slower speed with decent torque. My current setup uses an 1/4 HP AC motor originally speced for a rotisserie. It's 6 RPM with 600...
I think which process you use is less important than how well you can weld with it on the material thickness that you need to weld. If you can...
Use the nickel copper. Do some reading. it's better than steel.
Looks like it sat in one place with water in the hub. The pitting is through the hardened surface, so it will continue to wear. It depends on...
Look at the Hobart Inventor series helmets. I have had one for four or five years and it's a great helmet for the money.
This makes quick work of it: https://dutchmanaxles.com/measuring-tool-ford-9.html Guess link doesn't work: [ATTACH]
Do you still have the carb that you took off? Was it a Holley 94? Why not rebuild it? Just be aware that the current style Holley power valve does...
Not sure of your threshold of when it becomes unfun. But I suggest you read up on how mechanical fuel injection works as a first step. It's rock...
Yes, the "full floating rear axle" is sometimes referred to as Grand National style is some part descriptions and are pictured above. And...
I guess the first hurdle is what's your definition of affordable? And perhaps the second, what would be your expectation for durability? New...
Coming together nicely. Since my early teens supermodifieds have been my favorite circle track cars. The first ones I remember were the early...
Yes, the John Deere grease is great. But if you don't live near a farm store it is just a semi-fluid EP (extream pressure) 00 grease. Look for...
There are two adjustments on the steering box. One for the preload on the worm gear (input) shaft and one for the sector shaft at center of...
Looks like a Corvair box. Use to be the go to for T buckets.
I would be suspect of the ring breaking and not sure the overall setup would be very accurate. Do the pistons have an internal register left from...
Most hydraulic TO bearings include specific instructions on how to prevent over stroking since it's the biggest failure mode. It usually involves...
@Bass , Yes bringing back a run of the 45 fin backing plates would be great. I have a set and love them. Thinking they were gone forever, I...
My answer has changed over time. For a number of years I used the Buick hub with bearing adapters. Kept the hub and drum concentric and the 5 on...
While steel fan blades do flex, the amount of flex varies depending on which fan. I would think a stock steel fan flexes a bit more than a Dreale...
I have kept tabs on T bucket kits and components since the late '70s. It's likely I missed some, but never saw an aluminum frame offering. As I...
I don't have any info to add as I am not familiar with parts and pieces one might use in NZ. But it's an interesting piece and seems to be well...
GM Rochester Ramjet fuel injection from a Corvette. Don't see the distributor that drives the fuel pump.
For the wiper, head down to a West Marine or the boat yard and look at something like this:...
At first I was a bit standoffish to LED lights. It seemed confusing initially as some still had a ballast / transformer and some did not. And...
Just a couple of observations. Once on the tires most cars have 2 or 3 degrees of frame rake due to suspension or tires. So that will change the...
As has been mentioned, if you add a bypass thermostat to a fan cooled remote cooler you have both the warm up and cooling covered. Derale makes...
I have not purchased one, so can not verify, but the following 350 applications used the 8" balancer that's 1.121" thick: 67-68 all trucks through...
There is a setup using a 8" harmonic balancer and short water pump that works. But it requires a 8" balancer that's 1.121" thick to clear. They...
If located correctly, a remote unit with a fan something like a Derale would be an adequate substitute for an in radiator cooler.
