FWIW, I am involved with 2 hemi flat tappet (non roller) cam issues right now. Both owners are wiring customers of mine that are experiencing...
The apparent disinterest can, probably, be attributed to the proliferation of hydraulic high performance cams. Years ago, when we wanted...
That cover profile clearly looks like a Chrysler, not a Dodge or DeSoto cover. The Dodge and Desoto covers have a narrower center area. Since...
I wish Someone would Reproduce the (PAW) Aluminum Water Crossover Pipe For all Models of Chrysler, Dodge, DeSoto, & Plymouth Hemi Engines....
Until I got the new 426 plug wires a month later and the covers wouldn't fit over the boots. That pic's got the stainless steel, solid core wires...
Mine get's 12.6. I keep meticulous records of my fuel purchases and my yearly spreadsheet average is always in the 12.5, 12.6.. Got that with...
Industrial engine............... Pull the fuel pump and look and see if it's got gears or a chain. If it's got gears, there's no raised portion...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] You can get them polished or un-polished and with or without the spark plug tube covers. They were made extra tall to...
I thought I gave you a DVD with the build photos on it. Maybe Ron still has it. I know he doesn't have a computer to view them on, though. I...
Yea, that's Alex
[ATTACH] They're Dennis O'Brien's covers. O'Brien Truckers https://www.obrientruckers.com/ The car looks like it's Alex Finigan's Deuce 5...
hmmmmmm, that looks like a car I wired a couple of years back.
Plain and simple chromed valve covers held down with flared spark plug tubes and BIG washers. That's me in the Isky shirt I got when I crewed on...
I was there in St Paul in '74 and I remember a few of those cars.
That's a stock hemi windage tray with a bit removed to clear the filter line for the 340 pump.
But that 3/8" ball on the 300 and industrial engines is on the rocker adjuster stud and the pushrod has a cupped end, not a ball end that wears...
[ATTACH] They're pretty simple to make if you have access to a bead roller and a spot welder. A sheet of steel, a couple of pieces of spring...
No under-a-tent pictures and no eighties daily drivers either. Well, I think I shot one car under a tent but there weren't any contrasting...
I was in the front row way over by Kentucky Kingdom (across from the St Louis Street Rod Assn tent). I've been parking over with the St Louis...

Ah, Mick Dascoli's old '40. I did a story on the car for Hot Rod Mechanix years ago after the Adelaide Nats
Oh well, the Borgeson box won't quite clear the starter
Where do you get this "fire" thing? A blown fuse doesn't cause a fire. A blown ammeter doesn't cause a fire either. What causes a fire is a...
They're not "new" projects. They're someone else's broken projects awaiting repairs. Gotta fine someone to make the springs and the chrome-moly...
The bottom line is that you can't use the hydraulic lifter rocker arm setup without using some sort of extra equipment to remove the slack from...
The age of the gauge isn't a problem. The capacity IS. A 70 amp alternator is a bit (a LOT, actually) too big for a 40 amp ammeter to handle....
Yea, that's the way to go but those rockers aren't as plentiful as the hydraulic ones and guys are making the mistake of trying to use...
The factory used adjustable rockers with a ball end that fit into a cupped pushrod end for the solid lifter engines (Industrial and Marine...
