Got a set of 33/34 door handles from Speedway today. I took my time a drilled out the filled holes and mounted them. I still need to secure them...
I found some at Speedway and the specs say the shafts are 5/16". It looks like I will need to cut the shafts to the proper length. It looks like...
I've decided to replace the door handles on my 34 Plymouth rather than do shaved doors. Can someone give me the dimensions for the shaft size and...
My wife is too quick to notice the smile on my face when I watch the boobies. I installed an electro mechanical flasher tonight and it worked...
It's a Carter A68301 oil pressure safety switch. It cuts off the fuel pump when oil pressure drops below 6 psi. I think it is also wired to the...
I've always noticed at the stop light in the turn lane that no two car's turn signals flash at the same rate. If they ever came close to matching...
That's funny, you busted me on the Fram 3 years ago when I started assembling the engine. I actually bought a WIX right after that. Since I've...
Like the fitting on top of filter adaptor in the picture? [ATTACH] Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I'm running my oil pressure sending unit from the hole next to the distributor on my 354. Now I need to plumb and wire an electric fuel pump cut...
Working on wiring the headlights. I've been trying to figure out how to neatly run the wires out of the buckets. I was hoping to run them down...
Thanks, racer-x! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Got the Plymouth back from the mechanic. Great news was the transmission and rear end are fine. Both needed more fluid. The rear end also...
This might help you determine how much angle is enough: turning circle radius = (track/2) + (wheelbase/sin(average steer angle))
I went with the Carter 4070 mounted ahead of the axle on the frame rail. Works great but it is a little noisy. That doesn't matter much when the...
Finally got some garage time after nearly two months but got some good work in today. I replaced the fuel pump with electric rotary vane style...
I know I have at least twice the cost into my 34 Plymouth than originally approved by my wife 5 years ago and the car ain't even close to done. I...
I called Tanks Inc. and it turns out my tank cannot easily take the internal fuel pump. I would need to drill a hole to accommodate their kit....
Glad to hear you are okay. I was debating using the neutral safety on my Lokar setup, no way now. I'm not happy with my set up either. The...
Inspiring work! You make more progress in two hours than I make in two months. I'm hoping to have my 34 Plymouth 5 window, 354 Hemi, on the road...
If I was impatient and wanted to go to NAPA today could I get a hanger and pump that would work in this tank? It would go into the 6 bolt...
Thanks for the advice. I will call them on Monday an see if the tank I have can use their in tank kit. It has the auxiliary cover but I'm not...
What do you recommend for an electric fuel pump location? External on the frame rail or in the tank? I'm learning, I hope. I got a new tank...
I think I solved the slipping 727 problem. I dropped the pan and pulled the valve body out. I tried moving some of the pistons and one seemed...
Also make sure the oil journals and the rocker tubes have been thoroughly cleaned. My motor was "rebuilt". Some helpful folks here suggested I...
These sure make me smile. [IMG]
My boys are big fans of garage time. My dad got me into old cars and I'm hoping to share with my boys. Here they are goofing around in my 34...
I gave it a try. It's just a game, if I didn't have the constraint of HAMB friendly car it would be easier and I would pick an OT car. But pre...
That is a beautiful Falcon!
Thanks for the response, George. So if I understand this breathers shouldn't be thought of as a pressure outlet, that's part of the PCV job that...
I've got my 354 truck motor running. After reading the last three pages it seems that I've not thought about how to properly ventilate the...
