Thanks everyone. I am going to increase the timing. The motor is a crate motor that I bought new and it only has 60 k on it, so I know it's in...
I think it's looking more and more like the wasn't advanced enough. Everyone is pointing toward more timing.. That fit's my theroy that the...
I forgot to say I did run some heat shield sleeves on these but that lasted about 100 miles.. there is just no room between the header and the...
I know about those instuctions.. I had some for a cast iron wood stove that were so funny I framed them and hung them near the stove,.. one...
may see I can fab up a tool to dimple the header at that point. I have a tilt front end so I can get to them. it just bugs me that after all...
thanks on the 34 degree lesson. I'll have to check with some bddies to see if their lights are able to do that - mine is just a cheapo.....
the motor didn't have a timing tab - I installed later but it fits to the water pump bolts and only lines up with two bolts in the curve of the...
I think it's 6 inch .. bone stock 350 crate low end HP. I had always set the time by ear so I knew it was advanced .. but hey I had a timing...
the boots are very very close to the headers less than an 1/16th... the MSD boots are huge - but the replacements are normal... I had 90 degree...
What is the total advance of 34 degrees. I have a regular timing light and a timing tab that goes to 12 degrees. I pulled the vac off the dist...
the tiing had slipped to advanced and I was getting hot start problems ( another cause but I didn't know it at the time) so I reset the timing....
I have a 37 Ford with a 350 bowtie in it.. I've ran the same motor and stuff for 60k plus over 10 years. Changed the plug wires from cheapos to...
It's the same as how you eat an elelphant - one bite at a time. I recently bitch slapped myself for buying my filters at the local big box store....
I purchased a small 110 volt Lincoln in 1991. It welds up to about 3/16 steel. Works really great on sheet metal. Wouldn't trade it for...
be careful placing batteries inside the car. I'd be concerned about proper venting of the batteries.. they produce explosive gas... worse than...
great idea. I used double sided carpet tape recently to hold 1200 grit on an orbital sander. It's paper thin -unlike the foam double sided tape....
Hopefully this summer I will be putting a 302 Furd in A 50 Willys Jeepster...just for fun
which ever way you go the key thing is to get rid of all the rust.. and a wire wheel will not do it..and I'm skeptical on grinding it off -...
Not crazy about it but I think economics forced them to do something.. most show counts were down over the past few years.... For what it's worth...
I built this one back about 17 years ago... still enjoying it today.
Anyone remember this - it's Sat nite, you and a few buddies have a box of beer and no one has a church key to open them.. I've seen some sick...
If I remember right those bolts go into welded nuts or clamped nuts. If for some reason (rust) they don't come out you can drill through and...
I bought a car from a fellow once and he had another car in a shed that was a real gem but hadn't been out of that shed in 15 years. I asked if...
I don't have a pic but I chased a 50 merc for 6 years calling and kept asking if they would consider selling it.. last call I was told that when...
Stick for a couple more days... there is a great cruise in at a place called Old Town. It's very close to Orlando off I-4 about two mile south on...
winch and a v nose. I watch a fellow load a 32 roadster with bigg'n on the back.. He puts it in the trailer each night. The remote winch makes...
Winch and a v nose.. the v nose will pull better than the flat nose especially in a head wind..
Me confused... if the T is 86 wide and the trailer is 100 wide you have 7 inches each side... which is not much less than the front wheels have...
Before pop tops and twist off caps... how many remember getting a box of beer with your buddies and no one had an opener... so creative ways were...
Sorry that it took so long to get back to everyone. Thanks for the info.. this is exactly what I need. The trans I have now I'm told is called...
