What’s in it for motorvation?
I believe the stock ration was 5.14:1.
Thanks for the pictures. You should drive the old fuel truck home
I’ve had luck mounting a brake drum inside out on lugs, then evenly screwing on 3 nuts with slack. The drum acts as a slide hammer. A few slaps...
No help from me, but have to say those carburetors look nice. No spray can wizard touched those.
I bought a Vevor 15L ultrasonic cleaner several weeks ago. I haven’t tried the Rust 911 in it, but I’ve seen videos of people doing just that....
Your idea of coolant is not new. Rumely Oil Pull tractors used oil as coolant. It allowed the engine to run at a higher temperature, which...
My Dad would have been 91 this May. He told me about using alcohol as antifreeze when he was growing up. Doing fall field work with Grandpa’s...
Some panther pee, as suggested, then I have had luck holding upside down and tapping it firmly on a block of wood. Try to hit it square. Of...
New one on me. Thanks for sharing that.
Sounds wicked! As in fun!

Maybe there’s a Ford in your future…

I’ve not seen the Cutlass hubs in person. Would like to find a set for my old Willys CJ3A, if I ever get to it!
Ever row through the gears in a healthy Borg Warner? Not known to be clunky shifting. I’ve driven pickups and larger trucks with gvw weight of...
Have fun with that! Have a soft spot for those IHCs of that era. I had a 1956 S120 4x4 when I was a kid.
I like the flatbed. Good luck on the alternator. Hope you get it sorted out.
These particular hubs have the steel re-enforcing bands. I’ve heard of people having to remove hubs to get wheels off. I remember a 1957 Dodge...
[ATTACH]The inside magic.
I bought an IHC axle at an auction for these hubs. I wanted to see how they worked and to restore them. [ATTACH]
I believe our own Uncle Max is a real dealer. He is a terrific fella. If I was in the market, I would support him.
Very easy on the eyes.
I would try a scrap carb body. Some chemicals don’t play well with zinc die cast.
Usually cleaners work better warm. I have an old crock pot I use for this. I throw in some Phosphate free TSP in water for degreasing small...
