The no oil filter thing just doesn't sit right with me. I did the conversion on dad's 261, 100% of the oil runs through a 2 quart (over kill)...
Congrats Marty! You'll soon be amazed by how little sleep a person needs.
Stacey, remember this post? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=28629&highlight=headbolt I'm no expert but every 6 I've pulled...

You use a screw driver, that's what the dipstick is for! I'm with Tommy and Shortbus, good grounds and several of them are the key.
You're being anal! I used to crew on a top alcohol dragster. We'd fire the car on Thursday and leave it for the weekend to go racing, had no...
You've got to be shitting me! The paint turned out like that from buffing it? It's got patina, but as Nad's would say, why doesn't that rhyme with...
Here's a local car built in the late 50's.
I tried that once, I found it worked better for me if I had my tongue sticking out the side of my mouth. The Rambler is looking great, what sort...
It's Yorgatron's alter ego. :eek:
I don't have an interchange manual, but I did try to put 56 drums and hubs on my 49. No luck, the bearings are different. Also, watch the drum...
Great story. Being a nice guy is a karma thing, and it comes back around. While not as sweet as a T roadster body, my neighbor was cleaning out...
Mike, that's too cool! What a way to celebrate grad. Jethro, I was thinking the same thing, straight out of Dick Tracy.
I was brought up with the General, but a 36 like that would make me switch to the "dark side"
The pedal assembly is from TCI, the pedal ratio is pre-set with no adjustment. [img] I'll be putting the car back on the blocks tonite. I'll...
Thanks for the tips and suggestions. ELp, I went through your check list. Calipers are ok. Lines are good, no leaks, took my time with all the...
The master is part of a kit from Stainless brakes. Everything is plumbed correctly and the calipers are on the right way. Brake fluid streams out...
I can't seem to get the brakes to bleed on dad's car. No matter what I do the brake peddle is still mush, it goes right to the floor and the car...
No drama here! :D The swap would have been much easier if the tin was off the front, or in your case the body off the frame. This car has been...
Sorry for the late reply, I've been out of town. Yes, I made the front mount out of some 1x2 tubing. I cut up some 1/4" thick rubber strips I had,...
Give me a day and I'll get you the number. :)
Spoke to Terry from RB's this morning, gave him the invoice # and yes I have the wrong springs. We are going to do a spring swap and get the right...
My dad knows Dave. I've been to his place a few times, he sure has some neat stuff. I sent you a PM with his #.
The leaning tower of power! That's the first one I've seen with a blower on it.
You do realize that if they don't show there will be no cry baby dolls. :D
Well, here's an update. I received a PM from a fellow HAMBer that works for RB's. He told me that those kits only come with 2 spring rates 425 and...
Elpolacko, I was hoping you'd see this! I'll take some measurements tonite. Right now the tie rods are pointing up at the sky. :rolleyes: Thanks...
Killer score! The chop is great no matter who did it. It reminds me the 36 Ford Hotwheels car I had as a kid.
Just put Olds valve covers on your flattie. :D
