Here is a pic of my track. 46'-7" track length. Built by Brad Bowman. With Patriots we can lap it in about 3 seconds. Also threw in a pic of the...
There are a few of us in Albuquerque if you go a little north. Good luck.
I Have a 1934 Chevy truck that I'm starting on and wanted to use as much of it as I can. What are my options for Juice brakes. Spindle Swap? Axle...
Took some pics of this one the other day. Not sure what it is other than what the valve covers say. Thought I would share.
I had major pulsing before I put the new line on. Not so much pulsing now. When I started it, mine did the same thing you describe. It filled up...
Thanks for all the safety concerns, however if the car won't run right for very long it more than likely will not catch fire sitting in my yard....
Not sure of the relations. The guy you are talking about went out to Moriarty. Although this could be the same place for the Great Race stuff. I...
Cleaned and used the por-15 gas tank sealer. I also bought a new fuel pump but I cannot get the filter off of the bottom so I have switched from...
On mine it's a little more than a small bubble. When it was cold it was a nice and small little bubble. I drove around a bit after warming up and...
Bit colder than that today. Windy with gusts up to about 60. Not too much that I know of and I'll be heading to Jacksonville next week. You...
Does anyone here have a good running car with one of those glass inline gas filters and if so what kind of fuel pump are you running mech. or...
Hope all works out well for you. Update on my drunk bitch... She got off on one DWI in Albuquerque because of a 6 month rule. If they don't...
Will stainless not rust like the old original lines? Some of my problem might be the tank. Am I overreacting to go so far as to replace them all....
It's a 1960 Ford Fairlane 500. I don't know if that would be good to drive down the emergency lane real slow and erratic with flares all over the...
I need to replace the fuel lines in my 1960 Ford. Should I use steel? Aluminum? where is the best place to pick this stuff up in a roll as I have...
Is there an easy way to wire up a hazard switch to my lights? I have a 1960 and it did not come with them. I've been in the way quite a bit the...
Just to complete the thread. Today I dropped the tank and found the vent tube was pinched so that is why It wasn't getting air. I also found that...
Here is the latest. After limping home in about 1/4 mile bursts; the problem is more consistent now, I changed the new fuel filter for a new fuel...
If it was the float level would it not be a more frequent problem, not just one incident every 50 miles or so.
I was wondering about that. Once when it happened I thought I was out of gas and when I took the cap of you could hear the air go in and the tank...
It has a new vacuum advance. and no vacuum brake booster. no it does not stall when hitting the brakes.
Carb is a new replacement from NAPA. The engine runs good 99.9% of the time. This is a very intermittent problem.
Yes, it is an automatic, but it's a non vacuum ford-o-matic. If it was vapor lock I would think it would have to cool down for a second before...
No, I'm not sure. It happens and then starts right back up with no cooldown. and I can continue to drive with no problems. I think loose wire and...
