OK
For some reason I can't post on this thread. Too bad got a few good shots
What is the fluid temp. ? If it's around 180-200 degrees it's fine. If not it needs something different, bigger cooler, more airflow. I just fixed...
I've known Tom since we were 12 Y/O. I'm a few months older. He was always a Car Guy. We both grew up in NY and now live in North Carolina 10...
It's stopping in Mooresville tonight. The wife and I will go for sure and there is a car show from 1200 to 1600 probably do that too. My boss it...
I was pretty sure they wouldn't pass tech anymore. I was thinking fun project and car shows. I never drove a race car in my life.. A slingshot is...
I've got a bug to find and restore a slingshot with a flathead. I'm semi retired and only work three days a week, so I have a four day weekend all...
Boots
Hell yeah!!!
Quite true. The guy's who started Hot Rodding were for the most part WWII vets just home.
Very cool.
+1 I think this is it. Make sure the floats are not too high any percolating on a high float will make it worse.
Charlie Siebert was always a top shelf operation. That coach at Riverhead that was some good days there.
I ran a Corvette in GT1 and depending on the drop block for the lower arms you could be right at ground level. I'm not surprised they tore up...
The most worn and most overlooked part of any carb is the throttle plate. Most rebuilds that go bad are for that reason
If by sliding you mean slipping that's not vacuum. The vacuum is only going to change the shift point by throttle/modulator pressure. Slipping is...
If a suspension has springs it can be a benefit,simple as that.
These sound like good possibilities.Throttle pressure is definitly not right,some Powerglides only had that rod for kickdown. I think they also...
The only reason the rubber bushings are there is to minimize the vibration felt in the steering wheel. There should be no mechanical problem with...
Great advice, do the chevy trans. Good luck. 14 that is cool!
+1 There has to be atmospheric pressure in the tank to keep the fuel moving.
I work right up the street from there. I'm gonna try to make it up there one night I'm off.
What do the other teachers say when you mention this to them? Seems like the program needs a little tweaking.
If the bearings are correct the line bore may have to be touched up.
Yes but usually a politicians brother or some family member has to be in the business that benefits. Of course it could just be they themselves...
Depends. It could prevent bottoming which as you say would be a benefit. It will increase ride stiffness and that may not be a good thing. It will...
Cutting the spring also increases the spring rate. Handling may be effected differently than you wish.
I know there was some discussion about this one back on the thread to where it actually occurred. The fire in Baldwin's car was at Riverhead. That...
I think one set of points has a short or gap issue
20 is a lot that won't give you any initial. Have it re curved to about 12 degrees and bring it all in by 2000 crank RPM. Then 12 degrees initial...
