Yes Squirrel, They wont just push out so I will clean up best I can. Thanks all!
Just not sure how to get the ball & cup out.
You always (make that Never) cease to amaze me...
From a '40 Flathead, thought I would clean these up as they look great. From the inventors of the Hydraulic lifter... Good learning project too....
That "scraper" of yours is a dental plaster spatula, any dentist will have several :) Great thread, had not seen it until now.
It's awesome that the swap is open to the public, they have always had a closed meet & this sucks for the vendors & the enthusiasts. Crappy way to...
"The drum brakes on mine will throw you through the windshield" Faulty Brake booster. Drove (or tried to) a Buick like that. Owner thought I was...
Can't go wrong with a bubble top!
What's not to like? A 370 or a 389 head should put you in the right territory for compression? My sources indicate that a balancer up to 1962...
how was the swap meet?
Would love to see how a Borg Warner Auto or a Hydromatic compare!
Don't get us wrong, Chevys are a proud engine... But Rockets were winning races well before the bow-tie :cool:
Anybody can have a belly button engine. Find a 324 & give 'er!. Less complicated & more interesting. You can buy a old car with a chevy in it...
Chevy frame is very different, he needs a Pontiac or Olds frame.
Is it a Canadian Pontiac? If so, Chevy frame. If US, I have a pretty serviceable frame near Milwaukee. I will price it right :)
Seems like 56-57 AMCs used the Hydramatic- they would have used a Torque tube also.

Who is going? Vendors are down a tad the last couple, but it's fun to see what will be dragged out this year. I just hope it's under 90 deg :)
Thanks for the great story. I will put in a good word for Wendell tonight in the Pontiac :)
The swap was well stocked. Didn't see a band, was there one?
1950 looks like it is all alone but similar guts up to '54. As it is one column & box assy, several could be close. Some fabricobbling may be...
Interesting... Width & Dia would be determining factors.
great looking car!
Curious why so many Edelbrocks were replaced. Other carbs are better? Maybe they just ran crappy. Or maybe a Hail Mary before the hook hauls it...
Maybe you put MM oil in it before storage...
Sweet. I know the early Hydromatics can be expensive if troublesome.
I like to block just one side. The side opposite heat stove. The paint usually holds up great but the carb still gets a little heat which ain't a...
Paid for my part (I think) but it is not worth the 8 hour round trip.. Also stunned that Sat. pick ups are not possible. They offered to include...
Is anyone from SE WI going to get parts? The 1 piece I won is not worth the drive- But it is worth a 12 pack :)
What a crappy auction site! Wish I could register.
