[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Today’s job was to replace the straight cut gears with helical in the Winters qc. Fairly easy and checked and rechecked...
Relocated the front carb linkage to the proper location as shown. The way it was positioned would not allow wot on the front carb, not that it...
Now something else for me to focus on
Without some modifications, not gonna happen Mike, but I see your point
Never noticed that and thanks, learning something everyday. So where should it be repositioned to ?
Today’s job was to fix the start issue when hot. Common complaint I read about the Edelbrock carbs were the heat sync issues. I installed a pair...
Thanks and totally agree. The seller was selling off items that his uncle had acquired before he passed away.
It appears that the reproductions were possibly scanned using the water slide. Colours are definitely different.
I could but shipping to and payment from the US is a pain.
Thanks. To be honest it would not have been a car I would have chosen to build from the ground up. It literally materialized out of nowhere and...
Thanks. New Venue starts on May 28th at KMS tools
The heat sync issues I read about are with the 4 barrel carbs and haven’t read anything regarding 97’s. A friend has 2 Carter 4 barrels on a Y...

Well worth it
I agree Matt
I installed a 1934 Buick instrument panel, gages and a 3 window dash in the Vicky. The speedo was a bit of a challenge for several reasons, the...
I am having a difficult time determining the gauge as it is cloth covered.
More advice please. I installed a shunt wire as per Charlie’s advice and no reading on the gage, shortened it and thinner gauge, very little...
Delco gen is too big, longer and width. Plus, except for the Buick motor, it’s a Ford
Back up. 65 401 in my 32 Vicky. First time for a nailhead and it definitely moves with the TKO 600 and Winters QC. I swapped out the alternator to...
Dialed in the alignment on the Vicky this evening. Ordered these online from offshore and they sure make it easy. I am sure there are simpler old...
