I have an old Rambler convertible. The valve guides are SHOT. I was getting on the freeway for one exit when this guys drives nearly on my...
So a while back I saw a pic of a guy with a service truck that did a similar thing. For those who have towed and been annoyed with the inevitable...
Thanks and Yes it certainly is. :-)
My ‘37 Chevy’s needed a tailgate for ... pretty much forever! When I bought the truck gee I dunno 30 years ago I remember the guy that sold it to...
Just to update: It's been 9 years now...haven't had to touch them since I did this. THAT was the goal!!!
Here's a link to my Power Steering Post. Maybe it will be of some help to you....
I will say IF you still have the stock front suspension as I do, the BEST upgrade I did was to add DISC BRAKES and POWER STEERING. One for safety...
I haven’t seen a lot on this so maybe it’ll be helpful to someone. I’ve run the original knee action shocks on my truck for years and frankly...
At the moment I am doing the same except I have two mounted on a plate of aluminum - a buily in spare. For this I wanna hide it. Extra fins are...
Yep, those are available dirt cheap. I want to HIDE the module in plain sight so that IF I ever have to work on it it's "easy" to get to -...
I've read several somewhat conflicting numbers on that. Commercial 0-70C, Industrial -40-85C, even saw some military listed at 120C! I'll have...
Yep that's a question I would really like to learn the answer to.
So that's the question really. I am kinda breakin' the rule's here as I have no ventilation thus far. I've run these modules on a finned aluminum...

I ran it for an hour and a half and the last 30 minutes it rose 1 deg or less every 5 minutes. Using a "K" type thermocouple inserted into a hole...
UPDATE: I installed this distributor in my '47 Ford truck w/392 hemi earlier this year and it has worked flawlessly so far. The adjustability...
@Hnstray, That's a great question. In a factory application the HEI module is mounted well under the cap - it bolts directly to the aluminum...
My old truck had one of these old Sun Tach boxes (didn’t work) and I thought it was cool and I wanted to keep it - and NOW I have a use for it....
Gettin' it dialed in (maybe a bit too much - at the very least - the landing was a bit much - still sore)
Slayer, Yes, we ran the Meltdown last year Hiborn Injected - had a blast there. The blower is NEW to us as is the homemade injector - so we have...
Thanks! I am thrilled with the injector so far. Still aways from having it all dialed in, but this is new territory for me so I am trying to...
Computer wizzard I am NOT, but I figured out the vid issue. Second pass on the hand made injector. Video Courtesy of my buddy Don Moyer. [MEDIA]
The fitting on the idle check regulator got loose, and by loose - it wasn't loose by much - just enough to leak at the end of the run. I checked...
Guys, I thought you might enjoy an update. I FINALLY got the car to the track this weekend. I had planned on a VERY easy first pass. I left easy...
Ironic how I should run across this thread so many years later. Shortly after commenting on this I met what was to become my best friend Stan....
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Tryin' to dot those last "I's" and cross those last "T's" ....always liked the torsion spring setup on the left that I had used...
So I had a slight set-back the other day when I was looking at the butterflies - I noticed that they all didn't seat the same. Knowing that the...
Wow Rich, That's one heck of a compliment! Thank You.
If it's worth doing, its worth overdoing! :-) Did you notice the flared oiling holes? I wanna keep those bronze bearings WELL lubed! :-)
