Just a quick thought on the ticking: if you say it happens in a big way when the motor's under acceleration, it could be one of the return springs...
A velour nightmare. I'd be having a nice little chat with the upholsterer if he came up with an interior like that and wanted money for it.
My golden rule: The only stupid question is the one you don't ask. Hey, and don't forget: all of us here had to make a start from the exact same...
More Jockey Journal-friendly, but this is Dad after the war on his Royal Enfield.
I agree HitchHiker. I've been a career firefighter for 24 years, and there is no way I'd refuse to take a pumper off road to reach a fire like...

RIP David Hackworth.
I'm protecting the fine citizens of the western suburbs from fire and other ghastly things. Sad to miss it! Enjoy, Matt
A local drag racer here in Victoria used to run flat 9s at Calder, all day, every day. Never broke out, never blew up, flat 9s each time. It...
I remember this from an ad many years ago, featuring Joe Amato: Narrator: "Turn and face your accusers, Joe" Joe Amato: "I don't have to turn....

G'Day Pete, when Hoey went over to the US, he took the trouble to find me a copy of that R&C little pages. I'll scan it and PM it to you. The car...
My local REPCO has a couple of real good blokes behind the counter, with a young lass being trained up. Someone in an earlier post said the kids...
It takes a big man to apologise Butch, good on you, that was great to see. The '49 looks well, looking forward to seeing more! Cheers, Matt...
Darryl Withers was marketing his own kit that used an International truck motor and rods to replace the cables. This was a ways ago when I still...
Go the custom Pete, then I can build my Dick Brady inspiration.........
Ummm....electrocuted by accident? Or by State law??!!
Golden Rule #1: Never, ever, ever get a mate to do a major job on your rod. It's not vindictive, but your car will be the first one that gets...
Me and my beautiful lass Kate.
An anecdote related to me by a mate who's a huge drag-racing fan. A guy brings his son to the pits to check out a race car just as they're going...
I saw it on the net. Still looking good. It had a sbc in it in '59.
I race a Featherbed Norton Manx, 1954. Originally I thought it was a '58, hence the name. By the time I did the research all my usernames were...
Can't remember mentioning anything about a Mustang. How is slotting a 292 into a 36 'ruining' it? Cheers, Matt
OK, here's the inspiration. Opinions needed: Offy-dressed Y-block with dual quads & a 4 speed.
It's a weird thing, but when I first started watching live rockabilly in the mid 80's, there was a handful of zoobs who used to look sideways at...
Pedro beat me to it, but I'll put the word around my side of Melbourne. It's a special type of dog that steals tools and vintage car / bike bits....
Rest well John, you've earned it. Drag racing is the sport they play in God's driveway. Matt
So we're left with contracting coal miner's lung from walking around in circles at the bloody Bendigo dustbowl!
Dick Brady's 36 3-window on the cover of R&C September '59. The ultimate for mine.
A bit obscure, but the diner scene at night on American Graffiti there's a raked Customline that pulls out of a parking spot and scoots off. Tough...
