I like it.
Very cool car.
If you've already gotten the sticker off, try Goo Gone to remove the residue. A heat gun works like a charm for removing the sticker. "Goof Off"...
I say that any power plant that doesn't do what its owner wants it do to is "lame". I may prefer something different than the other guy, but...
Not the new ones. They come from the factory with a fail-safe check ball. It is no longer a "general problem" with them, and you are way behind...
Uhm...no....the new Holleys do not blow power valves. I have never had one blow.
A 347 in a Sunbeam Tiger?? That thing must do wheelies all day long. There's nothing "mild" about any of those cams in the article. As others...
This is awesome...
I have a stock Duraspark in a 302 and while it's never failed me, if I had it to do over, I'd go Pertronix. Much more simple and much easier to...
I use Carb Defender by Driven products. Good stuff.
Jay Leno is cool...
Myths: - Paraffinic oils cause engine sludge. - Oils from paraffin-based crude are loaded with wax and create engine sludge. - Paraffin base...
Reverse-eye leaf springs for the rear...
Well, nothing for me to lose sleep about since I got my Comp roller-tip rockers for free (LOL!!!). I agree about the K&N crap too...
Roller tips reduce valve stem tip wear, so saying that they are no better than stock rockers is B.S. Full rollers are certainly better, but the...
Timken, National, and SKF are all made in China, so I wouldn't worry much about brand names...
Pertronix...
Yeah, I don't mind stupid questions; I can't expect people to know everything about all makes/models of cars (I certainly don't), but the stupid...
Engine-brand swaps are part of "hot-rodding", and I have no problem with it. What irritates Me is that it's usually Chevys, and pretty much always...
I remember that. It's the same place I saw a Tucker for the first (and only) time. I also thought it was really cool. This is a great thread...
'Depends on the year & model. "Suicide" 4-doors are cool. Early '60s Lincoln 4-doors are cool. I know a guy with a '41 Studebaker 4-door that's...
That's really awesome..
How does it compare to molasses?
That was not a 7.5". It was an 8.7" C-clip unit. They had like a 2.48 gear ratio and no limited-slip. Not a popular rearend at all, but not a 7.5".
'73s do not have adjustable valvetrain. I know this because I have a '73 302 (as well as a '68 302 with '66 289 heads which are adjustable)....
I like it...
'Built a SBF in 2007 with a Comp 268H and Melling lifters. Springs were new Comp High Energy. 'Used the cam lube (that comes with the cam) on the...
Very cool...
Sad story. I hope he recovers...
"Fords suck" 'cuz you don't know anything about them??
