I have had an alpha pacemaker for about 14 years now. 110 mig is all i ever use and don't weld much. I twist the leads together and run them as...
Tire tech tool at most dirt tracks, at least in the stock classes. Seems like 40 or 50 was the good range per the rules.
Mine is my '65 Malibu running in Junior Stock at the Nostalgia Nationals at Beaver Springs a few years back. It makes me happy to see it when it...
Wednesday, October 19, 1955 in Baltimore, Maryland. I wonder which manufacturing day has the most surviving cars. [ATTACH]
Thanks for the positive comments. When i was posting this, i was thinking back to how tough the crowd was on this site years ago and wondered if...
So I am in the parts collecting/prepping stage of a transmission swap project for a '56 Chevy. The cast iron power glide does odd things at times,...
'55-'56 chevy 265 v-8 manifolds? Sorry i don't have a picture handy.
i'd get 2 qts of the cheapest, lightest weight GL5 gear oil i could find. Even it comes from the dollar store. Once its filled, get the engine...

Found a documentary about the Mormon Meteor 3 and Ab Jenkins on amazon prime. Very cool story on the building of the car and the records it held...
Have you checked your frame rivets and bushings? You might get more info on the 60-66 forum on the 67-72 chevy-gmc site.

We have a '56 Belair that sits too low in back for my taste. i plan to build a jig and re-arch them myself to get about 2" more height. The Jig...
about a year ago I was looking at buying a '65 to build into a tow vehicle. I spent too much time thinking about the seats and other parts i...
count how many of each type? Seems like the 2 thin ones go under the rad support, the round ones go to the floor mounts and the square ones do...
If its a GM set up, another thing to check is the rag joint coupler. Its between the steering column and the steering box
the build date is about two months from my birthdate. But I see I got smoked by the Dodge!
I believe TH350's take the same gasket-same filter no matter what year. Different suppliers make different styles. I prefer the nylon mesh style...
well if it were mine, i'd look at 283's and 327's first and pitch the straight six. Just kidding.

it would nice to see this car get a set a of tall skinny 8" slicks, lose the hood sides and get raced at nostalgia shows in the MD-PA-NJ-NY area.
appears that someone might be a car flipper :)
