FWIW I have a Miller 211. It’s 110/220v it’s the model rite before they went inverter. I have run it with a Northern Tool 5500 watt generator and...
I can’t speak for the Harbor Freight welders but some of the other inverter welders are sensitive to the sign wave that some generators put out...
Don’t feel bad. You are far from the first guy to forget to put it back on.
Me too.
This isn’t an answer to your question but more of a PSA. I purchased a Summit flywheel for the post 86 externally balanced 350 and the engine had...
Very nicely done. I like your vision.
I’ve sent 2 back to MSD for repair. It was $75.00 ten years ago and there still working great. And they were $300 then to replace. Guess it’s the...
With the tapered end you could put it in a smaller diameter tubing and use the tool backwards and put a bell mouth on the tube. It may have been...
I was taught to plush the seal into the groove and then lay a large socket across the seal a push it into place to seat it. Then as others have...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here’s a few pics that are from a thread that’s currently on here.
I just opened this and will give it a bump. I have seen pictures of what your looking for. When I have time I will search my saved Hemi info....
Definitely sounds like the winter blues to me. I’m in the same place now. And the garage door open is a thing for me. No windows in my small shop...
Here is polisher that was purchased many years ago that served me well until I got something better. It’s built off of a Sears&Robuck circular saw...
I’ve been looking but not really hard and it seems like the used stuff you’re looking for is also a little pricey. But then again what isn’t these...
Corvette valve covers and shifter. Maybe it’s one of those 327 corvette motors every one always talks about . Cool car though. I’d buy it but I’m...
If you haven’t checked the bearing clearance or at least the journal of the cam to make sure it’s the stock size I would recommend it. Depending...
At one point you were able to buy cast iron seats but I found the in the late 90s all the seats sold were hardened. Even intake seats. There are...
Sorry that I didn’t clarify better. The gear reduction setup has a .250 square drive that is purpose built to drive the reamers. It also has a bit...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Your contact looks pretty good. Is the width to specs? One trick I use is I cut my seat angle then take a permanent marker and...
A true umbrella seal Is attached to the valve stem and goes up and down with the valve. When the valve is in the closes position or seal up the...
As said if it is in fact a small block , heads are the same. But some headers don’t work as well with angled plug heads. They will usually state...
Awesome. Wish my after school boss was into hot rods instead of stock car racing. I may have gone down a different rabbit hole. Although I have no...
I won’t say 100% yes but the heads were thinner on the 392 to compensate for the taller deck. All the intake manifold are the same from 331-392.
Let us know your whole setup. All good answers here but we can’t answer correctly based on the info you gave.
I will second the real or an older car that’s been left as found and cleaned up to honer it’s original build. But for me the fake stuff never did...
The old timer that taught me how to pour babbitt and line bore and also specialize in rebuilding model A’s said on average it was worth 45 lbs of...
Congrats. Awesome find. And my vote is for the Hemi but then again I have a Hemi problem. Y block would be awesome as well. Good luck with it in...
I’ve read through the Automotive machining book and will second that. For ten bucks you can’t beat the info.
If you don’t have a concentricity gauge which most people have clean up the valve and seat and try lapping it in. Go easy on the compound and...
That won’t be a problem. As long as you have a stone dresser you can make the angle what ever you want. I have a Sioux set up and and have done...
