I agree...about 60% of a shock's travel left for compression and 40% for rebound, from installed "ride height".
Just another side note, a 2" offset pinion will have equal length axles and a centered pinion will have axles with about 4" difference in length.
Great stance. I like the way the floors are fit inside the frame rails for extra room. First time I was ever compelled to copy pics from the HAMB...
I built a successful (in my opinion) race parts and fabrication business without accepting PayPal or credit cards. If someone asked about credit...
What I've come to understand about hyperutectic pistons is that they require a lot more ring end gap than a cast or forged piston. Broken ring...
I think you're going to get discoloration from heat no matter what you do but it should buff back out. As far as rusting goes.....may be an issue...
I don't have any experience with Cobras (I suppose we're talking kit cars?) but regarding square/rectangular tube vs. round tube I've always felt...
I could be mistaken, but aren't re-pop "A" chassis typically built out of 2" X 4"? I'd agree that .125 wall would be fine. The 4" let's you do the...
I had a couple of dirt circle-track customers that were repeat buyers. They claimed it made a difference. They bought Pro Blend 40 Below and Red...
wyatt...I PM'd you with some info but want to mention a few things here too. There are to my knowledge 2 types of axles, Grand National and...
Oh! now I'm a hoodlum??
morebel....that's beautiful work.
Floor it every so often to suck the excess gas from the float bowls?
I sent a PM your way. For street use I'd stay with lower pressure (6-8 PSI) unless you're feeding a big engine and also have a pressure regulator.
Same as springs, just simple trig.. 1" of vertical suspension travel nets <1" travel on a shock/spring mounted off vertical. The shock would be...
Congrats to both of you! Lynn
Heater-'48 Crosley
Not a coating as such but more of a protectant....wasn't it linseed oil applied to freshly blasted headers that would let them look natural...
Wal Mart is really something.......it is to family business what China is to American manufacturing. My $0.02
I was up at Trailer-Ed's last week and saw this truck as well as a lot of other neat stuff he has. I'm a pack rat but when I collect stuff it's...
I used a CNC brand 1" cylinder on my T roadster. The one I used just had a threaded fitting on top for a reservoir/fill line that I ran to a small...
I'm kinda coming in late here on moving but since I'm in the middle of it right now (and only about a 225 Mi. move) I can attest that moving a...
I sold a couple parts to a 20 yr. old rodder-to-be for his first car and took him for a ride in my recently finshed/licensed T. By the smile on...
Goober...I love the look of that T you posted with the "85 HP" license plate but in either picture I don't see any radius rods on the rear. Maybe...
Just a thought....maybe need to add a residual pressure valve? The calipers may be retracting naturally and a residual valve will keep them (the...
If you're using tie rod ends, they're typically 11/16" and you'd probably use RH for both. I can't see any reason to use a LH on the wishbones.
We used a combo Scotch Brite/Emery Paper wheel (looked like the wheel pictured) in my fab shop on a die grinder at medium RPM to blend a...
Bib Overalls; You're right, there is a tag that identifies it as a hydramatic. I have copies of the pertinant sheets of a transmission repair...
I have a 215 Olds in my T roadster. I've put about 60-70 miles on it now and the transmission is really sluggish on up shifts, and it seems to...
I used their '23 body was happy with it, and made perimeter bracing/reinforcement with 1/2" X .065 square tubing and glassed it in. For the money...
