I would love to know. Thinking the Hispanic side of town may be the hot ticket. They work harder than i do!
I was a little surprised to read that Firestone had their own spark plug factory, dating back to at least the 30's. Didn't just brand someone...
Cranking? Is that "starting"? Jolting?
What a steaming pantload. Guessing you and another 100 vendors will fall by the wayside again this year.
Ebb set me up with a nice set of gears, no charge! They look very good too. I have freshened up some clean, older pumps by lightly buffing the...

On those tall gears, it looks like the "coupling collar" might be in da wrong spot? 1940 Caddy 346.
"get out your die grinder and a cutoff wheel..." Def thought of that. "What was done and why?"- Thought of posting in one picture worth a thousand...
Picked up this great Oil pump core, Flathead Caddy. It's worth a few bucks. Started scraping the barnacles off and saw this. Sigh. [ATTACH]
"Sears also sold houses there's a Sears home next to the Bloomington Garage in California." I live in one! A 1939. I think '39 or 40 was the last...
You will need to do more research but IIRC, the main diff is the bore. And the Caddy used a harmonic damper while the LaSalle just used a front...
Warm it up.

You always (make that Never) cease to amaze me...

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...
