I am sure many of you have seen these threads and read how everyone said this is a "can't miss" show. Well........I will sound like a broken...
Ray, Thanks for the info. Let me see if I follow. My '53 has the three bulb system, and the top bulb is used as a running light only, and the...
I've only been an alliance member now for a month-ish, and I have easily paid for my whole year membership. Honestly, it's a no brainer to me....
So I am changing my '53 tail lights to the '54, and I just got my '54 backing plate in. The '53 backing plate has 3 light sockets (see below),...
Yes. Looks like mine
I bought this kit as well. Since I went with a dual master cylinder, it didn't work actually. So I actually bought long and short length of...
Just in case someone searches this in the future, I found the '54 backing plate at belairautoparts.com, and the chrome divider at...
So I did some searching through the archives before I ordered parts and didn't get a firm answer on whether the '54 chevy tail lights would bolt...
Oh man you are spot on with that. I have used my experience with cars to help me build mechanical systems a lot. It's amazing how simple some of...
Ya I figured that the worst that would happen is that I lose power steering. While that's a bitch, it's still drivable obviously. Not ideal, but...
So I have a '56 Chevy 235 in my '53 with a 2 speed powerglide and power steering. It looks like I have developed a power steering leak. I...
Man....I didn't know people hated Engineers so much. I am never one to rock the boat, but I think if you can't see all the engineering that went...
I paid slightly more for my '53 and I never regret it one second. The 53 and 54 chevy's are really hot right now, and there are a LOT of parts...
Does your car not have seat belts? Mine didn't come factory with them either, and as far as I know you can't get a ticket if they weren't a...
I drive past that guys shop on the way in to work every day, and I keep dreaming about when I will be ready for interior. He always has a bunch...
I went and got a bonded title on my '53 Chevy here in Texas. The process was long and labor intensive, having to run paperwork all over town....
you wouldn't happen to have a link to the part would you? :D
Very nice!! I have a '53 myself and I am still working all the little gremilins out of it, but next step is the stance and then maybe a chop once...
"It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut."
"Now go away or I will taunt you a second time.."
Very good to know. Mine is 3836848 so I guess I have the high compression head. Just now got my dual fentons, and hope to have the upgraded...
From my limited knowledge it has to do with the oiling system in the earlier 235's (like 53 and 54 I think) didn't have it, but 55-57 did have it...
It's a 55-57 Chevy 235 according to the link below http://www.inliners.org/casting/numbers.html
I'm probably a little different than most. Since my family is from Turkey I wasn't really raised with the whole American Hot Rod family like some...
What did you do to get that stance? Man that ride height is PERFECT. Did you have to notch the frame to get the rear that low? If I could get...
C.M. This is awesome. So glad to see someone passing down their trade to the youth. In my mind teachers would be the highest paying...
Derwood, What the guy at TCI told you is correct. That's the way mine is plumbed now. The fitting closest to the booster (or firewall) is the...
I'll be there too. Ready to meet a few more of the HAMB guys.
When I got a new booster and MC, I also thought the rear reservoir went to the rear, and the front went to the front. Wrong. I hooked it all up...
