Another Supersuckers fan here! :) Been rocking "Me First and the Gimme Gimmes" in the garage lately.
That helps answer my question. I know that TODAY, stockers have WILD cams that meet the OEM lift specs. I wasn't sure if that was true in the...
332 total duration leaves a LOT of wiggle room on 0.050" specs. How radical were the cams in those days? I'm guessing they ran tight Lobe...
1955-1985. Really depends on the car. It seems like in the early 1980s, it still required some ingenuity to build a car... scrounging for...
Guess I can't join you guys in picking on the guy w/ the Ted Nugent hair, since my hair was that long in the early-1990s! :eek: ;)
I usually just get off at Monroeville and run the Parkway east to the ft Pitt Bridge and Carson st. I'll talk to the wife and maybe we'll...
[/I] I'd love to hear more of the tips, tricks, and 'rule bending' used by the hard running 283 and 327 Chevy guys. We've already talked about...
What time does this thing start? My Dad'd birthday is on the 16th, so we may be in town that weekend. My folks live like 3 miles from the west...
I'm 36. Grew up in Pittsburgh (Sheraden, near McKees Rocks), but living in Carlisle / Harrisburg area now. My parents still live in Sheraden, so...
Thanks for posting that... good reading! :)
We are the minority. NAPA, Autozone, and all like store exisit to service garages or DYI guys working on late model stuff. They'd rather sell...
Dale.... wish I could have given you my '65 hdtp to chop up and taken that off your hands. Mines not bad, as it was from AL and spent most of...
Very cool. I suspected that you could not stay away from these Chevy IIs for long. ;)
Back in the mid-60s my uncle was living at home and he bought a used '64 409/425 SS, white-on-white. My grandfather would occasionally borrow it...
In 1988 when I got my license, our "family car" was a green '69 Chevelle 350 4bbl, TH350, dual exhausts, rally wheels, white letter tires, etc...
Agree completely. That's why the whole pro-touring thing is not for me. EFI, Power everything, sports car handling, leather seats, etc.... who...
Look at the pics of the guys painting. Not even a dust mask, let alone respirator! :eek: Wonder how many of these old assembly line painters...
Explain more about this bolt. Did this ride on the ring gear OD to keep the ring frow walking back in the housing?
My Dad's car he built in the early '80s. Pic taken circa-1984. 283, PG, '57 Chevy rear, stock chassis / suspension w/ 54 (I think?) Chevy drum...
My Dad bought this car as a shell in 1980 when I was 8 years old. He always wanted to build a hot rod but never had the means when he was...
Mr Stahl.... let me be the first to welcome another legend to the HAMB! :)
Would love to see pics of any 64-67 Chevy II junior stocker. I would think that the 195hp 283 in a light CII body would have been a popular combo...
Get well soon!
Thin 3/8" whitewalls like on Firestone Wide Ovals in the late '60s might work, but I'd vote blackwall over any other whitewall.
I asked the same question on other forums a few weeks back. Couldn't find much info. I took a leap of faith and bought 5 qts. to break in the...
Count me in. Pittsburgh native living in Mechanicsburg, PA and working in Chambersburg, PA. :)
Weekends it's the garage. Weedkdays? Well, between 10 hrs at work and a 1 hr commute each way, along with the typical daily life stuff, such as...
Only if it is still 1959. ;)
What does "dual range" mean? :confused:
What about epoxy primer? OK to shoot with a charcol mask?
