For a zero deck height block, the 350 piston will sit below the deck by half the difference of the stroke of a 350 vs a 327 crank....
Ford didn't limit that grab bag of different brakes just to Broncos and pickups. My dad had 5 F-600's, 68's and 69's, that he used in his...
The thing that really surprised me was that the cam was cut entirely from a piece of round bar stock rather than being cast as a blank and...
I'd bet the bulk of the use of that machine will be in industry segments other than antique car parts. As mentioned previously, the cost in a one...
That's not exactly true. Delrin does not contain PTFE (teflon). Delrin AF contains PTFE fibers which improve wear characteristics and lubricity.
Ford had a problem with gland nuts coming loose on some backhoe cylinders. Rather than adding a setscrew with a nylon insert to bear against the...
I have bored several inline 71 series detroit diesels for oversize sleeves. Doing these in a horizontal boring mill, what I found was moving from...
Yeah, if you built the aluminum frame as a copy of the tube sizes and wall thicknesses of a steel frame, the result would flex 3X as much as a...
Can't remember the name, but there was a guy who posted regularly that was in a motorcycle crash about two years ago. Just wondering if anyone...
59 was the last year for FI in the full size cars.
https://midwestcontrol.com/shop/ I've bought from them in the past. Best prices I found and good quality. Can take a while on their site...
The letters on those tires were painted, and race tires still have the name painted on today. From a tire engineering standpoint, a whitewall or...
Looking at the powerline web site, it would be real doubtful that they ever made any fiberglass bodies in house. Perhaps if you call them they...
People forget how expensive air conditioning was as an option on cars back when. It wasn't that no one wanted it and everyone just preferred to...
Spend a few bucks and have it blasted. All a wire wheel really does is sorta slick up the surface, but any rust you want to get rid of is still...
That tire is made for use on 2 piece wheels. That it is a tube type and uses a flap is the proof. The contour of the bead seat area of a single...
Back before they went metric, the contents on a fifth of liquor was listed on the label as 4/5 quart rather than 1/5 gallon. Both the same thing...
Cragar wheels had steel inserts cast into the aluminum centers and the centers are welded into the steel rims via welding at the steel inserts....
Post #32 up above has a screen shot of all pics and the ad. $45K to purchase plus another $75K and you'd have a $60K car. Sounds like a great...
The media you use can make a big difference in the amount of dust produced. I use Dupont Starblast and it isn't nearly as bad for dusting as some...
In addition to all the above, true kingpin bushing reamers are somewhat hard to find (compared to what a lot of sellers are calling kingpin...
WOW... nice work
There's a man who posts regularly on the SPI user forum who is a custom painter. He's pretty much stopped doing any regular paint work and now...
Saw a 12" Parks wood planer on CL about a year ago for $350. I'd been looking for a planer for a while and the pics looked pretty good. I could...
Worth mentioning that you can't assume hubcaps are plated steel just because they're magnetic. Most all stainless auto trim parts are type 430...
Not quite true. The only consistent dimension of pipe is the OD. The size is nominal and not true to the stated size on the ID. Take 2" pipe...
I agree with Claymart that the finish on the face doesn't look right, or at least it doesn't look like the finish on any quality lifter I've ever...
Good write up on initial, mechanical, and vacuum advance....
Somewhat OT, but a good demonstration of the importance of doing stuff right on any fastener locking devices. Niece's husband takes her '18...
