Really nice, investment cast stainless, roller rockers - 1.6 or 1.7 - About $200. The cheapest aluminum roller rockers on the market - probably...
I know I have a can of hairspray around here some where. All you guys from the 'hair band' thread, get out in your yard and start spraying, dammit!
Oh yeah - get rid of that Uuuugly convoluted tubing. Traditional aside, that stuff looks cheap. Being a traditional thing - wrap it with friction...
Move the wiper motor to the other side of the firewall (Inside, not left to right). Move the AC compressor to a location down low and to one side...
As far as thinks you may not have thought of... The previous comment about the shafts the gears ride on being in double shear by going through...
Most states post these sorts of rules and regulations on the tax and rev section of the state government's website. Look it up for yourself - at...
There have been several threads on this. Must not be searching right, cuz I ain't finding them. Spend some time with the search though. At least 1...
The bezil around it is probably a nut. T shallow 'slots' near the outside diameter means you run the bezel counter-clockwise (usually) while...
I'm not a Chevy guy by any means, but what I've picked up over the years may be useful information... Not quite. The 'pecker tracks' as we call...
As for the 'max cam that will fit in your engine', my experience says if you are not at all interested in dealing with valve to piston problems,...
nice work - that is one clean looking truck.
Looks kinda like a Lincoln V8 setup to me. Or maybe some commercial / industrial stuff with dual plug heads. Some of the pieces are a nightmare to...
OK - you are waking up my inner geek. Most of you probably don't care :( Firstly, it's not false advertising, it's misunderstanding terminology....
I have a thought... Instead of a bezel surround that is welded into the door, how about making the OD of the button assembly housing (the part...
Pin drive wheels have 'pins' that stick through the wheel to apply torque from the axle hub to wheel, sort of in a similar configuration to a lug...
"What idiot let their daughter ride in that death-trap with that hoodlum?" Err... The hoodlum is the daughter's father. :cool: She isn't allowed...
The adapters are for putting '51-'62 Valve covers on a 500. Not sure if they work for the '63-'67 covers (I haven't tried), but they should work....
Err... What happened there? Lets try this [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]

I think you are thinking of the fuel pump. Most high end cars with vacuum powered wipers had a vacuum pump on the bottom of the fuel pump, usually...
The early OHV engines with the low-flow filters actually has a second oil pump (low pressure) that fed the oil filter. You may be able to take a...
If it is bending pushrods, there are 3 basic causes. 1 - it is dropping pushrods. Once the pushrod comes out of it's proper place, it gets bent...
Don't look, ethyl!! :eek: Page 4 and no one said it? Y'all are sleepin'!
On a related note... Anyone know where to find a good insulation material with shiny aluminum facing, in 8" wide sections? I need something to use...
Aftermarket block, heads, and rotating assembly is the way to go - 400+ CID out of the box, and no hinky stuff with 30 year old parts that were...
That car was built by Schrader's Speed Shop in Azusa, CA, as the owner Mike's personal car. It has since been sold. I think he modified the...
If your plugs are carbon fouling because of the choke, then your choke is probably not adjusted properly. The choke is not supposed to make it run...
What is the cubic inch limit of your class? Cubic inches, RPM, and $$ all contribute to HP. More of one means less of the others to get to any...
I was lazy. Changed (and fixed) the carb, made a new fuel line, fixed the brake lights, fixed one of the tranny leaks, bled and leak tested the...
