Thanks guys, sounds about right knowing how much input I have to give on my existing box. I think I will swap to a 525 box instead to get that...
Bringing this one back, anyone know what ratio the Vega 7808990 box is? I just got my A finished and I have this box installed. To me it feels...
Back at it in the shop. After flushing the stock tank out and getting very little junk out of it, I hooked up the line to the pump to prime the...
First order of business is the bump stop photos I promised. So here they are. They are not cut down to size yet. I'll determine that based off...
On to more misc items to knock off the list. One Huge thing off the list is the final welding of the headers. I picked up some Silicone bronze...
Thanks guys! Its so close, I cant wait to fire it up and drive it. I've been busy with lots of little items, most not necessary to dive into...
Quick note here for others. I was told this truck and wanted to pass it along. When building headers, after braced up you can use the factory...
Time to locate the radiator permanently. I layed it out to make the fan spacer earlier. Fairly basic, set the car at ride height then welded a...
Picked up a piece of 6061 T6511 round stock to make the fan spacer. [ATTACH] Got started by getting a rough shape turned down. I didn't have...
Some quick detail photos here. Made one mistake on the practice run. I oversized the bolt hole for just this one bolt on each side. That way it...
While waiting on the radiator to show up I decided to start on the headers. I've never built a set before, but with some patience and practice I...
Thanks Rusty, I was going to message you directly but thought since I couldn't find the information, I would post it up as a question. I guess I...
Does anyone know what size the threaded end is on the torque tube that the Model A speedo screws into? I'm trying to get the A speedo to adapt to...
Interior was a bit more in depth. I'll get right into it. First was to separate it all into individual looms per component. Setup for the...
As I mentioned, I didn't want to bother ya with to much wiring. I'll try to keep it simple, not in my nature, but I am really trying with this...
I finally got around to figuring the front grill shell height. Set it on my cart and drew a couple lines to cut it 1" lower than stock. Kinda...
My wife got me a cool little key chain for my A. A company out of Germany makes these. Pretty cool! [ATTACH] Next was the dome light for small...
While I'm deciding on grill shell height and radiator options I decided to do a few more small details. First up was the spark plug wire looms....
What part of SW Washington do you hail from? These are Rajal ends on 7MM carbon suppressor, cloth covered, wires. I am running a MSD distributor...
I will bag this idea, I wanted the look but will stick with rubber boots. Not worth the risk of burning up the distributor electronics.
I did google search, that and searched here for specific ones, and zero came up. The Brillman Co didn't have any. I found many types of Rajah...
I am having some trouble finding these and am wondering if they even make them. Would anyone know where I can find them that are NOT designed for...
Time to finish the air cleaners. Maybe I'm a bit overzealous on this but yes I sanded the top of the bar across the carb opening to flow better....
The whole crux of this design was the double pulley. A special thanks to fellow Hamber Groovybaby6 for selling me the double pulley. I really...
Fan setup continued.... Next was to make a bracket. I knew things were going to be close as I was mocking things up, but close it sure is....
I'll have to look into the bellows style rubber boot, I like the clean look of the flat one for now though. Yeah, didn't know about clocking...
Next on the list was the throttle linkage and the crankcase breather. Throttle pedal itself was flipped. I installed a small nylon washer to...
Back to the small stuff that takes forever. First thing on the list was the throttle linkage. First step was to locate where the pedal would...
Sent him a message about purchasing it. Thanks alchemy for the help, have no clue how I skipped over that in the classifieds.
Are the pumps for the earlier head mounted units for a 5/8" wide belt? Or do I need to go to the later model style pumps? I only found one set...
