Sorry Dick, just read your comments to late.
Watch your heat and wire speed settings, to slow on the wire with to much heat will cause the arc to come back up to the tip and start to melt...
If you get good penetration with the amps up but a bit of burn through, use a piece of copper held firmly against the back of your weld area,...
Looks like the air cleaner cover was a couple of super glide covers joined at the hip.
Just being devils advocate, over time could the HH 2 piece plugs( which are obviously good quality) be a bugger to get out? While undoing the cap...
Time heals all they say, I think in the big picture you’re a lucky man to dodge a worse scenario. All the best.

Being a younger fella, back in 1980 NZ , my then 18 yr old girlfriend brought a 56 4D Belair, $3.000, 350, powerglide , lake pipes, rough as...
On the synthetic oil, I begrudgingly(cost) used Mobil 1 in an early off topic motorcycle and did a 18 day outback trip here in the Ozzie desert...
Sorry to hear this, hoping all goes well and best wishes and thoughts to Chris. I lost my super man badge a couple of years ago falling off a...
Double check the tube nut thread, measure once and all that.

One on the right[ATTACH]
Not a fitting but style of brake line flare,, Google ISO bubble fitting ID. And tube nut to suit. May be called something different over your way.
That’s gonna boogie along with the Chev head on board, will be no surprise you’ll be looking for better brakes then. Love this build, especially...
Take half as long to build.
Being biased, but I agree [ATTACH]

Should be easy this year, buy a new house and get a workshop happening again. Lost all of last year to selling, moving and health, this year has...
On a side note, I fit one of these when building my Aussie ford WC T5 with a S10 tail housing,,, the original retainer was worn badly allowing the...
Loving this build, I like the way you have mounted the ladder bar brackets high up on the diff housings so the bars don’t hang low at the rear.
Depending on the extended height , one would think this would work well on the rear as long as shocks where mounted somewhere and the extra ride...
Try and buy good quality maple syrup down here! On the odd occasion we can, it makes the Sunday morning pancakes so much better.
Just found this, it’s either fact or someone’s understanding,,, you may understand it Mark. RVI (Inductance) reads the pulse from the cable that...
I did this on the 58 Cad oil pump, also got rid of the Vac off the base of it. I brought a new kit for it , gear set,poppet ,spring and gasket,...
