Is the disc in the correct way? There also two lengths of throw out bearing carrier. Did you cut the T-5 input shaft where it goes into the pilot...
Not a cluster but a whole dash board.
I was referring to steering ujoints, not drive lines.
Question, if welded pitman arms are unsafe where do welded ujoints to shafts fall in the safety scope?
Must be a California thing. Not many real customs,the AlaKart being from my town. Got my drivers license in 1963. It seemed like every muffler...
Sacramento Speed PM will be sent.
Yes it is Dwight Bond in Gibbon. As the cost of a T5 being close to a quick change I would argue that all day long. At the time I built my car Mr....
The T5 and a Flathead are a good combination. Does not do the mileage very much good but keeping up with traffic is very easy. If you are a friend...
I owned a 1954 F-100 in the mid to late 60's when they were VERY popular, seems like every chrome or muffler shop had one and they were not left...
In my working years in the food industry Stainless Steel is used every where. SS has cracking issues when stressed. I would not use it or SS bolts...
Squid Some where in your brain is the picture of the car you want. Do not buy or build a car that is not in your brain. Of course if that picture...
If my memory is correct Dee Jone drove the Roosevelt Dairy car at Clovis in the early 60's.
Not trying to be a smart a** , but you are still in the building stage. Would it be best to cut the kick up loose from the Model A frame and weld...

If you are using the aluminum box, a lot of the super modified racers used them in the 1970's. As dynaflash said make your own pitman arm, have...
If I remember correctly Ford went to the new style carb in 1957. A 1957 two barrel manifold off a 292 should be what you are looking for. It will...
I am not a expert on suspension but I have been told that a car does not know if it has coils or leaf or bar suspension. That being said cars will...
Yes you can use wrecking yard torsion bars in a hot rod. If you are going to run a small block standard Toyota Pick Up bars will work, the three...

The down side of midgets on 1 mile tracks is Kruseman (sp) at Sacramento. Seventeen (17) barrel roles down the front straight.
Friction shocks work O K. I run them on all four corners of my lakes modified because they fit the era of the car. Photos in my albums. Good Luck
Lets talk about a Model A frame that is 80 years old and rusted completely. Did I miss something that said this frame is worth saving. From here...
Nippon Denso Type Forty five (45) amps. Running one for five years on my CNC Brackets.
One of the other Aussie restorers with a Shalia(Sp), if I remember correctly found his chassis number on the bottom of the front axle.
The frame has more value for something you all have over looked. If you want to register a car you need a set of NUMBERS. They are legal, you can...
On Epay the small alternators are called Mini Nippon denso type, 45 amp single wire but a little pricey, over one hundred dollars. Have run one my...
