Well, after checking with a couple of the biggest shock vendors, I had no luck. Will just be going with plain painted shocks. It might have been...
If I had any idea what car used them I would follow that. Its a mix of '46 Studebaker coupe with boxed frame and '37 Willys axle.
Have been looking all over, so far unable to locate any pin mount (threaded) by pin mount chrome or stainless front shocks. I have found some...
Thanks for taking time to reply, and include photos.
Oh crud. Was wanting to use a length of tube with saw cuts in it. Thanks.
Wanting to hear actual experience of you who have installed a PCV valve in your intake manifold, without any baffle underneath the PCV valve. I...
Ugh! I jut threw away a big scrap of it! Tks for the tip.
Well, I thought the rubber sheet I cut them from was EDPM material, but the gasket poor performance now has me wondering if it really was. I...
I made some hard to find flat gaskets out of sheet rubber for my wiper bezels and external hood latches. After a few years, they are cracked and...
What is your engine and transmission setup?
Thanks, good advice.
1946 Studebaker coupe. Occasional drive/cruise, but wont be beating on it. Will open it up to hear it through the gears every now and again. Will...
Getting ready to replace the 2:73 gears that came in my 8.5" 10 bolt. Engine is 406 SBC, Muncie 4 speed transmission, 29" rear tires, 235 @ 50...
For all you good folks on the HAMB, no bush beating taking place here. Just a theoretical question about possible SBC engine operating temperature...
Good stuff, thanks.
Thanks, Squirrel. Good comments there, based on actual outcomes, not theory. Just what I am looking for. Your experience lines up with some of my...
Thanks, that is an interesting comment on the similar temps of mild 350 vs 632. Never would have thought it.
Thanks, you are on topic...didn't even wander off any! Agree on thermostat comment. Lots of folks thin they can change their 180 stat for a 160...
Thanks, but that is over my ability to use.
Thanks. I have aluminum heads with steam holes drilled. As you have spelled out, there are a ton of variables which affect engine temperature. I...
Assume 9.0-1 CR for all, just for grins.
Yes, I agree that the factors you mention can affect temperature. Just trying to see if there is any consensus about temp variations in similar...
Thanks, but not following how the temp would necessarily be the same with the same stat? It has been my experience that larger engines require...
Thanks. The question may be a bit flawed, but I am not making any assumption about cooling system adequacy. If the system is inadequate, it could...
Question about cooling as related to engine size. I would like to hear of some actual examples if there are any out there. Here is the...
Thank you. Yes, I have an old school two piece Ansen bell housing, so I have a good, open look at what is going on with the setup.
Thanks, Neil. That was a great help, all around. Don't know if I will ever be back in England, but if so would love to visit your shop. Thanks again.
Thanks.
Thank you.
