Squirrel is correct. Emissions engine made towards the end of production, before they replaced the inlines with the V6. Major change besides the...
I have one similar in my boiler room holding a remanufactured Ford V10 cylinder head off the floor. Growing up in the fifties we had two end...
The kit I bought uses more of a compression fitting with a plastic ferrule that I’d wedged into place with a threaded nut on the fitting
My shop was plumbed in 3/4” black iron when I acquired it, there were three drops, but it terminated about half way from the compressor to the...
I stand by my statement and experience. And I have driven a lot of miles in Kentucky over the years.
I drive back and forth between Tucson and Michigan seasonally, and usually from Michigan to Virginia in the summer. It seems that traffic travels...
I toured the Ford Dearborn assembly plant as an 11 year old in 1962. The most vivid recollection I have is the guy at the end of the line using a...
I’ve had SF since I got my DL in 1967. Never an issue with them paying for anything.
Primeweld Cut60 plasma cutter here. I’d like a table to go with it, but I’m too old and dumb to learn to use one.
My grandpa bought a new anniversary gold or brown 62 Chevy II 100 (only the top trim level was called a Nova) with the four cylinder and a stick...
There’s at least one Dodge 36ish humpback van / delivery in there.
I know I saw the “penalty for leaving early” published previously, although it’s not there in the 2026 rules. Pretty certain it was in the 2024...
I put some junkyard Mitsubishi 4x4 seats in my 36 pickup. Fit nicely, comfortable (if one can ever be comfortable in that tiny cab), but look...
Might make a difference at 7500 rpm, but I doubt a custom will ever see that.
That’s not how it works. Typically, unless it’s a major automotive OEM that has research and engineering facilities to establish their own...
Different doesn’t equate to worse.
I have several ot collector cars licensed in Michigan with State Farm collector/ antique insurance. We also have a seasonal house in Tucson (who...
Toyota probably produces, with a few exceptions, the highest quality cars in the world. Last I checked, they’re a Japanese company, and Japan is...
The two stroke Electromotive Diesel Locomotives weren’t competitive in either Fuel Economy or emissions capability. You can believe whatever your...
I guess it’s a moot point, since the 2026 vendor rules state” it is strongly advised” that vendors stay until at least 4:00 on Saturday. I can’t...
All the back issues were on the Motor Trend website until Motor Trend got sold last year. They dumped all that. Wish I had downloaded at least...
I’ve never, it thirty or forty years, seen a vendor completely sell out. Just bring a lawn chair and watch the crowd if you find yourself with...
Swap meets have changed over the years as the participants and clientele have aged and are rapidly disappearing. There are still plenty of empty...
The one I pulled a hundred years ago was pretty simple. I needed only the box and the spear of death, so I pulled the steering wheel, popped the...
I recall the 67 F series still had the 352. The 360 came the next year, in 1968. The 360 got a bad rep because the piston was way down in the...
My dad bought a new Ford sedan with a flathead in 1953, when I was two. He traded it for a 1957 2 door Ranch wagon in 1958 when six or seven. I...
I think there’s only one manufacturer but multiple retailers of most sheet metal parts. I think Dennis Carpenter himself passed away, but the...
If it’s a local parts hauler, think long and hard about channeling it. Those cabs are tiny.
In that case, I guess the 350 Chevy should be off limits, too.
Maybe their Icon end wrenches, but the Pittsburgh wrenches are total crap “use as a last resort” compared to either my forty year old Craftsman or...
Separate names with a comma.
