The problem using the car bellhousing is the lack of motor mounts. If you added the “steady rest rods” off a bird and a rear crossmember for the...
Unless it’s new, they don’t make an adapter. Mummert modifies truck bells to make it work. It’s a deeper bellhousing than the cars, and uses the...
Ok, so it’s running and driving ok? Not just idling, driving at speed, even 30 mph. I’d get an infrared thermometer (cheap enough on Amazon) and...
Did you check the heat riser valve on the (usually) passenger side exhaust, right below the manifold? Sounds like it might be stuck closed.
I’m not sure I’m following your explanation right. But typically, looking at the firewall, the large right termination is to the battery, and...
I briefly had a 67 390 GTA, so I’ve always had a soft spot for earlier Mustangs. Not enough to buy another one though. That one is really cool,...
Nice solution. But done right, the sneaky pete’s do work. I’ve had mine since before 3D printing was a pipe dream. But good thinking in the...
That’s what you’ve got to do. Common question.
Great work Dennis. The photography is really nicely done. A nice collection of PNW cars and the people we see at the shows. Thanks for using OT...
You need to email Ted at Eaton Balancing. He screens new members, a low tech spam control for the site. Might take a day depending on his...
The radar map shows it moving NE, hopefully you’ll be out of it south of Tucson. Safe travels.
It’s not that I don’t respect Holley, but this was a fairly recent subject on yblocksforever. It’s been working on my old Accel unit for 14...
I drilled and tapped the intake just behind and to the drivers side of the stat. Double check for clearance inside first, it’s tight. That’s...
Grant still lists an adapter for the 55 bird, which means all kinds of 3 bolt wheels will fit. Pick your style and size. I had one on a 55 in...
My Dad used to say “ I’m not sure what it is, but it’s a good one”. Sounds about right.
Hitchhiker lives in Edison, not far from you, and runs Seattle Speed Shop. Shoot him a pm, he knows everyone in the far north end.
Are you happy with the wheel and column as it is? Because that’s the operative measurement. You subtract the wheel difference. I’m guessing...
I’ve only got a hazy idea of just what is “kidney bean”, let alone what you have in mind. But ET has those sizes in pin drive, with knockoffs....
I built one of those close to 30 years ago with my son. He’s 40 today, and he’s still got it, still turns over if you’re careful.
Nice start. That’s going to be great.
There’s a guy over on the barn with some info (apparently). He can’t get signed up here. Might have a look, especially if you’re a member there....
Found the link. Try flatheadjohn47 for info.
First off, go ahead and move it to the off topic section if the mods don’t do it sooner. Second, there’s a guy over here that did something...
Is that 1” total, or 1” per side?
Ziggster, I was 16 when I first worked on a 3.8l Jag in a 64 XKE. First cross flow inline I ever saw. I remember when new 4 bangers were proudly...
If it was certain EV’s, it might have just burst into flames.
^^^^^ X2 cheap insurance
If you don’t get somethings close here, try shooting an email to Rockets in Sunnyside . Not that far, and he’s likely to know if there’s someone...
The one in Flag is a 4 door. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1950-mercury-value.1340662/
That’s really pretty ride, I like to see more pictures. In those days, you worked your way up to the Buick’s, hoping to make the last step to a...
