Still love this project! Your hesitation and "hunting" at cruise is likely a lean issue. I don't recognize your carb, was expecting a pair of...
Sorry to read about your starter failure. You do have the tool to hand start it, right? Devin
Interesting. I have seen often on the brand of cars I work on for a living that the pedal effort will get greater as the disk wears, and the...
I haven't looked recently, but Alan Grove used to be the go-to for al the brackets and such. As far as the pulleys themselves, have you checked...
Keep after it, even the small stuff. Usually that's what makes the biggest difference, details. Devin
My machinist used them in my race motor.... We had a long discussion, and I PROMISED him I wouldn't run nitrous (not my thing) Probably changed...
Great work everybody! Always a pleasure with my Saturday morning coffee. Devin
I know a guy locally who has an early Falcon with KH front disk brakes and drums in the rear, single master cylinder. I've driven it and it stops...
Funny how those little projects turn into 3 years off the road... Didn't you say in the beginning you weren't going to do anything with this one...
Good to see you back at it! Maybe I'll find another one that's not all rotten someday. Devin
I'd want a smooth, powerful custom. Hemi could do the trick while being a vintage engine. Devin
Helped a buddy out about a decade ago. He had an original mid 60's Ford product that we don't speak of here. The 289 had never been touched, had...
I've always had an interest in panel trucks and sedan deliveries, of all makes. I've never yet come across one I could afford or could justify...
Three on the tree and your lady can sit next to you! Devin
My dad wasn't a car guy during my lifetime, but played with quite a few when he was younger. I don't really know where I got it, but I had the...
I had this discussion with a machinist I respected about 25 years ago. I liked big bore, short stroke, high winding motors. He told me "Don't...
I read a technical article a while back, maybe a couple of months ago on how to make your own clamps for wiring. My fab skills suck, so I need...
I still have my first car I bought at 16, now 32 years later. While it's a 64, it's more muscle car than rod or custom so I don't post much about...
Not a mag, but I ran locked timing at 36* on a 427 that later turned 454, then upgraded to solid roller cam and AFR heads, final number was 650 at...
Now you've done it! Congratulations. Devin
Beautiful view and 51! There was a time about 10 years ago where my fleet consisted of my 64 El Camino, a 63 Corvair, a 72 240Z, a 70 F100 and a...
Don't forget, could be a 410" as well. That's what I want to turn the 360 in my OT parts chaser into but the damn thing just keeps running.... Devin
I'm going to be moving 800 miles this summer to a much more populated area for family reasons. There'll be lots of events to explore I'm sure. Devin
I've been trying to cut down on stuff I don't actually have an intended use for...Had quite a few engines, down to just a few now... Bare 427/454...
Fix the paint damage, leave repairs in primer. Lower it a bit, lakes pipes. Snotty 327 and deep gears. Drive it like I stole it. Devin
That's a sweet little ride! Devin
75-100 rpm? Damn that's low! Do you have oil pressure there? Devin
I used to have a neighbor who repaired antique clocks and watches. He had a couple of ultrasonic machines, and would let me use his older one for...
Very interesting. I subscribed to your channel. Curious to see how it works out. Devin
If you have both carbs already sitting on a shelf, the Edelbrock is the better option because it limits airflow to demand. If you're looking to...
