Love it!
No reason to use negative ground unless plan on switching to 12V in the future, which you probably aren't going to :)
If a HF tool gets my car on the road faster, you bet yer sweet ass I'll buy it.
He is truly an asset to the car hobby. :)
I bet he has no idea how much parts for that old junker are worth:D
I've shipped bumpers overseas before with excellent results. Just use some flat cardboard, bubble wrap, tape, and common sense and you should be...
What a time and place to be alive :)
You can't save them all :) Old car parts are sacred to us, but not to many others, so you can't really blame scrappers for trying to make a living...
Might try hooking up a mechanical temp gauge or using an infrared temp gun to check for hot/cold spots. I wouldn't worry about it though :)
This is what I do, too. No need for parking lights.
Either use a rod end with a bolt and nut or a heim with a pin. Both should be adjustable.
I was going to suggest this as well. If the boat motor is in good condition, I'd try to make it work, otherwise start with a car motor core and...
I'm running a rebuilt single master on my '52 Dodge with all new brake parts and lines all around. It's a calculated risk but I check my...
Ship USPS Air and mark as a gift :)
How many miles do you drive a year? You'll probably spend more money doing a drivetrain swap than you would spend in gas over a year. 6000...
Never heard of 'em, and I'm IN Bloomington! :D
One advantage of an electric oil pressure gauge is you don't have to run an oil line to the dash :)

My '52 Dodge has "L" and "R" on the bolt heads too.
Summit has a fox body mustang oil pan conversion kit. It was about $100 with pickup tube etc.
Have you tried to get it running yet? I have the feeling if you start to tear it down, you're going to find a bunch of problems and end up doing a...
It depends what's more important to you: "the look" or performance. Also reliability is a factor. On a daily, I'd run points with an extra set in...
I don't know of anything that will bolt-up with a synchronized 1st gear. There's always a T5 adapter kit.
Buy one get one free? :D
Have you tried 5.0 Mustang factory headers? They worked when I swapped a 302 into a shoebox...
I had a set of Red's on my shoebox and the tag (I believe) said "FORD" not "RED's" so something's up, I say.
I'm a grad student at IU. I have a 52 Dodge, some tools and junk but no garage :) I don't think I could show you much but I'm probably just around...
Yeah, I usually look up the application before hitting the zone. I wonder if the parts guy thinks I have 20 different shitty cars that I'm...
Here are a few scans from "The Marvelous Mechanical Designs of Harry A. Miller" (great book!) [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]...
I'd rebuild the master cylinder and get the drums turned, replace everything else with new.
