Try the thin oil suggestion - it's easy and doesn't cost much. You could even use diesel fuel if you wanted to, just for a short run test...
Is it an electric or a mechanical gauge? Some electric gauges aren't very accurate at all...many won't even read above 50lbs. Anytime I am...
Here's what's going on here - your radiator is too small for a 160* t-stat to operate correctly in your application. If you're running between...
If it has a high volume oil pump in it and the crank bearings were not clearanced as required, then you may have too much oil pressure - causing...
Did you put a high volume oil pump in this engine by any chance?
Thanks for all the input fellas.
Yeah - that thing actually has about 7 pieces to it, 2 of them being a traditional looking bronze synchronizer. I would think you could buy just...
Anyone know where to get'em? I bought a rebuild kit for $98...came with all the bearings, thrust washers, seals and gaskets - but no synchros....
Yes indeed, however then he would have to red-line the drawings. And we all know how much engineers hate to do that shit, especially the young ones.
As long as the dimensions are correct what would it matter?
No problems with Grundy here also. I can't imagine why you can't get a hold of them. I applied for and paid for my policy online, took about 10...
I only have one word of wisdom about epoxy primer - never ever leave a mixed up batch in your spray gun for any longer than it takes you to spray...
(Engineers often miss the obvious)
Two young engineering students were making their way across the A&M campus one day. These two young men were life long friends from childhood. As...
This is correct. He'll end up with 133.33333333333333333333333333333lbs of force at the end of the 6' length.
This is basically Newton's law you're describing here. Here's round-about explanation of what you're getting at here...
The vendor that sold me the gears lists them as fitting '55-'64 3-series carriers. Obviously they are in err.
Did you even read this thread? I never asked this guy how much he paid for this car - he divulged it without me even asking. All I did was ask him...
I am overhauling one of these differentials for a fella that has a '57 Vette under restoration. The third member I have came from that car. It was...
Welp, he ended the listing (think I mentioned that already) and re-listed it with a dollar starting bid and no reserve. 3 day auction. It ends...
lol...that Vette was also on the local Craigslist here. What a turd. And I can't believe someone paid $6300 for that Camaro...he doesn't even...
lol...I haven't done that yet, good idea. And it's his wife's eBay account.
I just de-coded the VIN. It does indicate an SS car, built in St. Louis.
Yeah, I see that now also. Like I said, I really do not believe this car is the real deal. Here's the VIN: 41447S314007 I haven't decoded it yet....
The hole in the floor for the shifter is little bit suspect to me...
Here's some of the pics he had on ebay: [img] [img] [img] [img]
It's only about 60 miles from me.
Those springs are no sweat bro. Jack it up and start taking it apart. Get the nuts off the lower ball joints - stand clear and whack the spindle...
I been a car guy all my life. I know other car guys immediately when I start talking to them. This guy is not a car guy. I suspect he is in the...
This is a pedal swing ratio problem, without a doubt. I have experienced this very same issue in the past after adding a vacuum booster to a 4...
