Huh, I just noticed that that engine has no filler tube and no breathers on the valve covers... Maybe they just threw it together for the photo...
I know this is an old thread, but I came across it in a search for something else and thought I'd share some pics I had saved in my phone. I think...
Doug, thanks for the response! I really appreciate it.
I have a simple/dumb question for you guys: I know stock means available from the factory, but as time progressed could you use "modern" stiff...
Man, I was in such a rush to look this thing over before my flight back to Minnesota that I completely forgot to measure wire length!!! I just...
That is true, the cheap Chinese kits do not have any instructions whatsoever, no wiring diagram or layout of the fuse panel, and not every last...
Ok!! So I have this import cheapo harness in front of me, and also a Haywire Pro T, which is an actual good quality US made harness that is...
I'm not sold on it being a Fairlane.... My first thought was actually late 60s Dart, but that's not right either. The parking lights on an early...
Well, she is the one that messed up and got me into old cars in the first place :D
I'll chime in as another young guy. When I was 18 and just out of high school (2012) my girlfriend and I packed up my '66 Buick and hightailed it...
Just a quick update! I was going to order that harness yesterday, but found out my mother already bought one of these for her '34 truck project...
I didn't even think about .020 overbore... what a maroon I am haha! I have one 327 in my garage that is .040 over, but I guess "my generation" is...
That's really interesting about the relay controlling the entire key-on circuit. I've never seen that before, either. Makes sense, I suppose. Good...
I was looking through a bunch of pictures on here and other sites of 60s Jr stock and modified production cars. I kept seeing in the captions...
I really appreciate all the replies! Like a mentioned a couple times, I'm not really looking for a discussion about what a better harness would...
All good points so far. The soy-based insulation is not something I was aware of. As far as customer support, that's not really an issue for me. I...
Lostone: you seem to be the only one so far that knows the kits I am talking about. Tomic: for sure, that's exactly what I am saying. The price...
Has anyone on here bought one of these new ultra-cheapo wiring harness I am seeing on the market as of late? They are in the $40-60 range and come...
I also found a '70s era Ansen stamped/hydroformed steel bellhousing, would one of these be considered safe? It looks similar to a Lakewood 77-150...
Porknbeaner, thank you, man. Kind of puts my mind at ease, maybe I will just save my bucks until I really need one. FWIW I emailed a place that...
Lots of great looking small blocks in this thread!!! Here the engine in my '60.
That's pretty funny about taking the bottom off! I guess I can see his thought process. The bell that is in my car now is a Corvette one like...
Does anyone have any experience with this Southwest Speed bellhousing? I was just looking through the clutch explosion thread, and it got me...
I feel like Ace brand paint is actually Rust-Oleum, but I don't have any evidence to back that up. Or at least I used to think that, until the...
I know the LT-1 was advertised to have 11:1 compression. How would that cam do with my lower 9.5-10:1?
This is a good suggestion as well! I also didn't realize Camaros weighed that much. I guess there is really a lot of metal in them! Everyone...
Hung some new shelves and peg board in the garage today, and then I heard this alluring sound and walked out to my neighbors field where a friend...
Thanks so much for the replies!! powrshftr: I think you are right, the Stealth pribprob is my best bet. I was running the Street Dom with my...
Man, I love a good pun! And with a little one on the way I've really gotta step up my dad-joke game... Anyways, I am looking for some thoughts on...
Man, this is so true!! I remember the first time I saw the E-3s, I pulled them out of a 235 Chevy I was working on (still bone stock, with points)...
