I am using the HH adapter, it very well may be made by Wilcap I just do not know. It is nothing like the adapter shown above though. The one thing...
I am glad to hear that there is little traffic and folks driving around were a lot of you guys are. I took my wife yesterday to the drug store to...
Well it's the right color restaurant.
Oh Hell yes !!!
Bang, It was touch and go a few times I can tell you that. Joanne is afraid of that tractor, she hates getting on the damn thing. There is no way...
The standard early Hemi seals work just fine, as these are just early Hemi valve covers. You also ( and I will) use the 426 second generation Hemi...
Tommy, I bought this one from Hot Heads. I am not sure who's adapters they use-maybe Wilcap? You are right that is an old 621 Chevrolet bellhousing.
Today I finally got the Hemi moved over to the run in stand. Turned out to be a bigger job that I would have ever thought. I used an engine hoist...
I have spent the day waiting. I had to order some hardware for my engine hoisting cradle ( wonder if that is what you call that thing?) I always...
oldsfrench, Man it is tough everywhere. Sometimes it is easy to not realize that everyone every where is suffering. Most important thing is to...
Great idea I'm stealing it. Thanks Jimmy!!
Spent a couple of hours getting the finale pieces on the Hemi so that I can get it on the run-in stand. Still need to make some kind of a timing...
Let me preface what I am going to say with this. This damn coronavirus is going to have wide ranging results. I mean it has guys setting...
Listen my thoughts on this. I also think Jake was a nice kid, I am glad he is doing well and I think the football deal is very cool. I also wish...
Yea I barely remember that movie, wasn't there a coke bottle and a window shade that made an important scene?
Thanks for this post Danny, I am sure it keeps a lot of guys spirits up. Just the thought of doing something is a good thing. I took the Model A...
Laroke, I am curious how this work's over time. Here in Alabama I could sure use something that would help with the heat that is coming fast....
Mike, to me that was the best choice he made getting rid of that 350. It just didn't belong in this car. Now a really nice 283 would be just about...
Billy, Man you are in Washington State, the best thing in the world for you is for the Doctors office to be "Closed". Taking out stitches is no...
Great picture there "BB" and yes she is damn cute, now keep her safe. When this deal has calmed down some you can take her to dinner twice to make...
Wow, What a story and what a car!
Man these are to me just about perfect Hot Rods. WOW!!!
Phil, I agree with you about the quality of some of those old vise's. I have three mounted on my work bench, one is a Heuer german made forged...
Don't worry about that vise being inexpensive ( politically correct as opposed to cheap) . I have had a vise for years that was no where near...
Damn Gimpy that is a hell of a buy, you will make a little money on those one day that's for sure. Still working on getting this old Hemi ready...
I have used Ogden plating a couple of times. I will say there work is of very good quality and they used to at least have three different levels...
If that price tag is correct $1,800 for a Hemi core is not a bad price, not at all. I have five of them critters and I can honestly say none of...
That's plenty good enough reason for me.
