Okay, the TT is cut and welded. I cut down the driveshaft and reinserted the 10 spline end and decided to check fit before I welded. Turns out I...
Thanks Pews. I got the torque tube cut and machined out to clear the bearing. That end was some fairly tough metal. I am going hiboy at this...
The center bolt in the crossmember is stock. I was more worried about the for and aft location. I talked with my dad, who has done quite a few...
F6, what I meant by locating it, was to make sure the C/L of the axle was dead center of the frame measurement. Since I used the '46 spring and...
I dont find the titles to be editable. so, moving along, got anything else?
I finally had some free time to work on my hot rod. I am putting a 46 Ford axle in my 32 frame. I contoured the 46 spring to fit the curved...
I had a bad t-stat making thunks like that in my pick up. Pulled it out on the road, problem solved. As far as testing for a head gasket leak...
Nothing at all wrong with an auto dark.Most folks that claim them to be bad are simply ignorant of what they are and how they protect your eyes....
Always a bunch of nice cars there. My boy loves to go, at 7 years old he can identify flatheads, hemis, carbs fuel injection and superchargers.
I'd put an actual, direct reading, gauge on it before pulling the motor.
SLightly? try getting a tapered stone for your die grinder. You can put it in a drill and run it against another stone to change its taper. You...
That is what happens when you let engineers try to out think themselves! You will notice they don't do it today, so overall it was a failure. I...
Look into either CV joints or double cardon u-joint. These are often found at 4x4 shops for jeeps, as when they are lifted very high their angles...
Okay, a Duramax diesel. Might be a bit big for the model A, perhaps a Cummins BT6. Plenty of power available, and unique.
Okay, I'll bite. F-1 steering box swap into what, an 86 Corvette? Or is it a new box into an F-1? A little more detail in your question might net...
I also know of a Stidebaker flathead 6 that would be cool.
I have a 120hp electric motor from the 20's, you could go electric AND period correct! Otherwise a J.A.P. Aero V-8 would be cool, likley only run...
Would you post a few more pics that give a better view of the engine bay? It would be easier to give good advice if we had a little better idea of...
I had the opportunity to stop by Industrial Chassis and meet Steve (Elpolako) today. A very nice guy. He gave me a quick tour of his shop and the...
Sure you can, why would you want to? Do you already have them? Are they better than a set of forged steel for street use?, no. Will they last a...
Not a problem Louvers, great to meet up with yo. As far as the work space, its not the size it's what you do in it! Thanks for showing me how to...
Next time get out and look at the fast idle cam before you tap the pedal.
Thanks John. Another local hot rodder too.
Thats great Dutch. It would be interesting to see it with the tarp off, but I like the rounded over 'deck' on it. It seems that every one I have...
I wanted to get my torque tube cut down and installed, but needed to mount the tranny first. I did not have the 32 bracket for the rear of the...
I have this steering gear that I am planning on using for my 32 cabriolet sedan project. I would like to identify it foe sure, so that I know what...
Just let Brookville know and I will pick it up for you on my flatbed trailer, no charge.;)
No, or inop PCV valve.
You don't need to. It won't hurt anything though. Most prople load up way too much grease in their spindle bearings. Better too much than too...
Check your hinge points for wear and address that first.
Separate names with a comma.
