The 350 in my ‘37 Chev has been in service with a Flowcooler pump since 1993 with no problems and it cools well. The benefit of the Flowcooler...
I don’t have heating problems maybe because I try to design the cooling system into the build rather than as a reaction to problems. No electric...
Correct!
As far as the “hand wringing”, maybe my concerns come from 40 years employment in creative fields that are being overtaken by AI. It is easy to be...
No doubt creative people in each era used the tools available, but the advances in AI will eliminate a lot of jobs they did. I have had my art...
I have used switches for 6 volt on 12 volt systems with no problems unless there is a series resistance with a voltage dropping resistor.
Certainly saw a lot of nice rides because of his photography. Thanks!
The “traditional” parts have their own failures. I had several condensers fail, poor quality parts, etc. I bought a nice ‘40 Chevy 2 door for...
Craig Clemens from Oakland, CA., (deceased) did about the nicest painted wood grain I saw, really amazing. I have always liked the wood grain...
Not to complicate this more, but on my ‘46 Plymouth it was pretty easy to move the radiator forward as the sheet metal was already relieved for it.
The battery takes the award for most corroded ever.
The 217 (23” head) was used in ‘48-‘53 Dodge B and C series truck. The 230 (23”head) in larger series trucks: D, Power Wagon, and E series. The...

Really an excellent book!
My ‘49 Cad with a 429 Cad motor did not run cool enough with a stock radiator. The prior owner used a pusher electric fan because the 429 length...
Nice car to save. The hard to find dash plastic trim looks pretty nice.
Looks like a pretty nice Dodge. I am sure waiting for the long boat ride delivery is frustrating. I understood that rod problems can happen if...
There are may conversations on this site about flathead MoPars. Taller gears are useful for better highway speed and an overdrive works quite...
Not sure what is available for a carb adaptor currently. I used an Offenhauser item that adapted a 3 bolt 2 barrel to the 2 bolt 1 barrel manifold...
I ran a some old MoPars with a few mods. The Red’s headers should fit. I would suggest a single 2 barrel carb. I had very good results with...
Did the o/p solve the issue?
If it heats when sitting rather than driving in my experience it is either timing or airflow. On a similar setup with a small block Ford we made...
Met him in the early ‘60s and didn’t realize who he was until much later. He gave me the advise at that time that it is harder to something simple...
I did 331 with a hydro into a ‘51 a long time ago and don’t remember any difficult issues. As far as a 429, they are a similar block, but longer...
Post #144 is right on the money. Although it may be infuriating the pursuit of suing someone can be an expensive and emotional black hole....
Had the same thing happen especially in stop and go traffic. If I let off while in 2nd it would slam into 3rd. Pretty much learned to manual shift...
After looking through both threads about this situation it seems the shop is less than qualified to do this type of work. The front axle looks to...
I like #1 for several reasons. It balances the lower body mass. The spear at the front mimics the belt-line trim and is more related rather than...
Solved my aftermarket thermostat housing leak by installing a O ring ring version. No sealer.
Saw this thread and realized how my starter set up has been hooked up wrong for the last 25 years! Went right out and did some rewiring. No more...
