Look for a battery box out of a 60's Dodge A100 van or a 60's Ford Econoline van. They both mounted the battery behind the drivers seat, and came...
5th Annual Cruise For A Cause!!!- Food Drive, Ventura CA Sunday Dec 8, 2013 The Deadbeats Car Club of Ventura County, California is pleased...
Actually 67-72 would still be drum brakes. 73-79 would be for disc brakes. I used a 73-79 style F-100 master on my 65 when I swapped on the disc...
Much as I dislike the current trend to jack every car on the road up, stuff an straight axle under it and call it a 'gassser', I like a tastefully...
Holy shit that car is gonna be friggin awesome! I agree, that car screams 1971 straight from the diaphragm. Begging for an early Edelbrock tunnel...
Sorry dude, I'm calling BS. Pretty sure Duntov never worked for Ford, and positive that Ed Cole designed the SBC.
Yes, yes that is true. I'll definitely take you up on that when the time is right, thanks Kevin! As you know, my heap is far from ready for a trip...
I hear you loud and clear. I'd never trust my life to a true bolt in style bar, and the disclaimer and liability concerns you bring up are very...
I'm wondering if anyone knows if anyone is reproducing the Lakewood style 3 point roll bars? I know the originals are a bolt together deal,...
Dangerous. Reckless. Foolish. Inconsiderate. Idiotic. I can't think enough negative adjectives to do what is shown in this video justice. That...
I'd say the place is not very kid friendly, especially for the really young kids. The restrooms are porta-potties. I've never noticed if any...
You didn't say whether it was a long or a short bed. I'm assuming it's not a Custom Cab? (not that it makes much difference, but Custom Cabs have...
Total stab in the dark here (like every other guess so far)... ...hydramatic?
Not trying to perpetuate an argument, but every 660 I've seen have linkages and levers like in the pictures below. FWIW, I placed my first post...
Found this pic on the web taken during filming, shows the vacuum diaphragms from the passenger side view....
I disagree. Those are vacuum secondary carburetors, but 660's are mechanical secondary. The link bar from the lever on the primary throttle shaft...
Those look like the Ford style levers. Those Holleys may have originally been from a dual quad 427 application? Given all the interest in the Two...
That intake is an offshore knock off of the Weiand. Reverse engineered by unscrupulous 'business men' who felt it was justified to steal all of...
x2 The Weiand Stealth is the 8020, for the record
For that combo, I'd be running the Weiand 8020, no doubt about it. The first 4 you have listed are pretty much the same manifold. None of them are...
The factory weights are typically 'shipping weights', which means dry; i.e. not oil, gear lube, coolant, fuel, etc. I weighed a 61 Falcon 2dr...
I believe the Studebaker pieces are 2 1/16 like other SW gauges.
What about tracking down one of the gauges from a late 50's Studebaker Hawk with a factory supercharger? I'm pretty certain they were made by...
Excellent information there, thanks for the addition. Seems I was wrong on the age of the change from 28oz to 50oz imbalance on the 302 and the...
I'd say a press and large socket would work. I wrapped the water pump housing with damp rags, heated the pulley hub with a torch, and tapped it to...
I haven't read all the posts, but that not a weld. It's a tapered lip cast then machined into the drum hat to keep the drum in place on the axle...
Let's see if I can do this again without the website logging me out and erasing my typing... As others have stated, Ford made some engineering...
"I just signed up this forum today ! I have a 1962 Mercury Monterey Custom 352fe single exhaust, just wondering if someone could tell me if i need...
You'll be between about 9.0 - 9.5:1 compression I'm guesstimating, assuming a zero deck and a standard .040 or so head gasket. I'd say...
