Set your base timing first..adjust with distributor kit for 3500.
I don't have an English wheel (wouldn't know how to use it anyway) so am looking for ideas on how to make the contours. Any and all thoughts...
Just health stuff. Age and kids;)
Nuff said, glad to be back!
Tape measure from center of one hole to outer edge of the other should give you a read, if not 4.25, 4.5, 4.75, then probably a metric pattern.
Peen the inner area and use bearing loctite. If you know a machinist, he may have an ID knurlering tool, which will be easier than peening.
Back up a bit guys, if the car is not as advertised, he's not on the hook to buy it, regardless of the "all sales final" wording. Just saying if...
Since we're talking about other kinds of tire machines, I have an old Coats that uses air to break the beads...bottom first, then roll the top...
Thank guy's, sorry for the delayed response here, been in Cyber hell. ;) Abomination: The fuel pressure "should" be okay, as it's the same pump...
Yes, in fact I pulled a 3.08 out of a 55-59 (had no front sheetmetal on it) for my '57 when we put the BB in it...didn't last too long though;)
Too much...look for early 60's GMC's, you'll have to relocate the perches, but GMC's had many ratios available, last I used was a 3.54 posi D44...
Any help? Thanks.
I'll try to be as thorough as possible... I rebuilt a ww 6-132 for a buddies '63 Stude w/289 and it just keeps running rich. The only part...
Another thought is to head over to FTE... (www.fordtrucks.com) and get a feel on pricing...you might even find something in the classified there...
I'm sorry, but I don't think that truck is worth anywhere near 6K. Have you looked around and priced them out? Ebay would get you an idea. And...
The large truck fenders don't have the "cutout" down low in the front for the bumper brackets to slide through.
There's someone in Oregon (IIRC) who sells on ebay the running boards for $775 (original style) a pair...I think it was...also just recently...
The ones for GM 6's were going for around 175-200 when I was looking awhile back...outghta give you a ball park idea. I do know the new cast...
I wouldn't worry about soldering the connections, they'll out last your life time. I soldered the connections on my Dad's Peterbilt for al 4...
I thought they have to do with the SB 400 due to the siameses bores. I wasn't aware they were done so early though.
Most of the aftermarket places like LMC...etc, also carry disc conversions.
oops, see its fixed!
So flawed, I don't know where to begin.
Wow, some of you guys think that Drake went over seas just to make more money...time for a fucking reality check....you want all parts made in the...
Someone on here (maybe in a tech week) posted up making backing plates from SS frying pans. PS...I did the before mentioned "wheelbarrow...
I'd say take it apart and see what you have, if unsure...then it looks like the fittings there are most likely NPT...you could then just pickup a...
Is this a stock or aftermarket unit? If aftermarket is the arm made for an adjustable length?
Can't those be adpated easily to the Chevy truck axles? I think the hubs can anyway...If memory serves, that's how many switch to 5 lug on the...
This might help.....follow the link to the forbarn and 3 or 4 posts down. http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31007
