I could buy one here but you really pay a premium in Australia. Besides I would actually be driving in America, so may as. I also had half a mind...
Hey all I'm going to be spending some time in the States in 2020. While I'm there I'm pretty interested in buying a clapped out 55 Chevy Bel Air...
Hey all. Just FYI. I tried out a few mini starters. The only one that cleared was the power master starter. It cleared by a mile and cranks really...
Good! I haven’t found any info to back up not running vacuum advance on this block. It sounded like strange advice to me. Glad to know I’m not...
Hey everyone. I just recently built a 283 SBC which is running a quadrajet and a melling MTC-1 cam. I was told by a friend that this cam doesn’t...
I live in the Blue Mountains. I had a good long chat with him yesterday about the whole process. He's pretty keen on getting this engine sorted...
This situation about firing it up without proper priming has made me pretty uneasy to be honest. I might hunt around and find a more reputable hot...
So I went down and had a look. It wasn’t pumping from the PCV, but the unblocked oil pressure port next to the PCV.. as for the grommet that blew...
I feel that its a combination of things. I didn't put the canister baffle in there because I wasn't going to use that port for PCV. I think that,...
Hey everyone. I have a 283 SBC that I built myself. Its the first engine I have ever built. I took it to a mechanic to finish off some things....
Potentially. But none of the schmos in authority would ever be able to tell that its been done. Particularly if its only by around 3/8ths of an...
Thanks again everyone. Johnny Gee, Mr48, I appreciate you're knowledge there. It does give me a bit of peace of mind. At any rate I think I gotta...
Thanks so much everyone for your input. The Delco style looks like might juuuust clear on the starter body, but I’d say it’ll still hit the...
Cheers 48 Chev, but I think that starter is the same size as the one I’ve already got in there
I could do that, however that’ll move the steering wheel over too as it’s a direct mount. More worms! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B....
It’s a 153 tooth setup Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
There is. Like, I can’t see anything that could negatively effect this mod but I’ve been wrong before. Might just have to go for it Sent from my...
I’m scared! Couldn’t that be a can of worms regarding geometry? Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
The housing of the starter motor is 80mm wide and you can see where the steering linkage hits the plastic on the back of the solenoid Sent from...

There may be a bellhousing mount that does the job but I’ll explore this option a little more first. I could also modify the pitman arm. Bringing...
I'm anxious that there isn't one out there that will fit :(
I've been googling. Its hard to say whats what as hardly any of the starters have their dimensions listed. There are a bunch that look like they...
Hey Hambers I have been putting together a 283 for my 53 Chevy. I have Walton motor mounts. Today I put the starter in and noticed that when I...
Due to very limited space for a clutch fork I'm looking into the Howe T5 throwout bearing myself. I have a Camaro T5 with the 26 spline. Does...
Yes I did put the horse in front of the cart here. An error on my part. I have seen those bellhousing mounts that Novak make but they also get...
Hey everyone Does anyone have experience with hydraulic throwout bearings on a Camaro 26 spline T5 box? I feel having an external slave might be...
Hey everyone. I just thought I'd let you know I took the starter back to the shop and replaced it. The new one spools up just fine! Though the...
Hey guys thanks so much for the help. I believe I'll take this back to the store when it opens tomorrow. Hopefully unbuttoning it to take a look...
Yep out of the car using jumper leads. The leads are getting super hot so this would indicate a short I guess? Sent from my iPhone using The...
