Figure out what which way you are going to go as far as controls. If you are buying a Holley Teminator system see what inputs they want to make it...
Did you find the football like looking wear on the tops of the pushrods? That seems to be the most common wear pattern, had 3 on my last engine,...
There are reusable ARP head bolts available, studs are also a popular option. I did the low buck method just to see if it works, and so far it is...
The head bolts do not go into the water jacket, so any chance they were not torqued all the way? I cut slots into an old head bolt and use it as...
Our builds sound similar, I reused the head bolts on my turbo 4.8, installed them with factory torque and then just angle. You can feel them...
These work pretty good for custom installs, I make new plates as needed if the included ones are not long enough. They are on ebay and amazon...
These are not truck manifolds, which stick out way too far to the side. These are aftermarket Chinese castings. Yep, I am aware, I have a set of...
Looks good, I think I have a pair of those on the shelf as well. Keep in mind the wonderful fact that the factory truck exhaust manifolds are made...
Wideband O2 is in the down pipe is tied to a gauge as well as feeding an analog input signal into the factory P01 pcm. I am not running a Holley...
No, it is a boost activated valve, you can see it in this build picture. Exhaust goes out a full exhaust out the back of the car unless the loud...
Sounds like fun, I put this one together for way under $9k, no idea what it will run though. Just turned it up to 8 pounds before winter, have to...
Anyone have a set of 10 inserts around to sell or any at all before I try and get these opened up? I bought axle rings to get the wheels hub...
I have a couple 55 Buicks, first thing I do is get rid of that dynaflow and torque tube, not exactly something you can find parts for if you have...
I just knocked out the inserts, they came out easily, and as expected if I flip them around I get a 5"x5" pattern. Wheel lug hole is oval so it...
I am assuming they would offset the other way and go 5x5".
Greetings, I just picked up a pair of Ansens that are the perfect size and offset for a current build, but I was thinking they were regular unilug...
OK, so in my pictures then the black wire should be the 12v in then? It looks like the brown wire runs inside the unit. so that could be the wire...
Greetings! Picked up a MKIV under dash AC unit that I want to install, and as simple as this thing is I am not sure how it works or how it should...
Thanks, should be a fun one, trying to use up parts I have around and keep the costs down.
Current low buck build, three trucks into one and ending up with a 1956 Chevy 1/2 ton short bed. Jaguar IFS, S10 rear and springs, ranger hangers,...
Finished this one up last month, right now just turning up the boost and tuning. 55 Special I bought at auction a couple years ago out of a barn...
Awesome, thank you for taking the time!
Thanks, somewhere in the past I found a book online that showed the arm PN, I just can't find it now. Pretty short arm due to the low windshield,...
Anyone have an old trico catalog or a PN for the wiper arms and blades for my 1951 Hudson? I can't believe I cannot find a PDF trico or anco...
[ATTACH] 1951 F1, stock frame and body, Jaguar IFS, S10 leafs, chevelle rear, LT1 fuel injected, T56, 4 wheel discs, etc..
Wait, so I can start doing build threads again? Been building 1930s-1960s stuff for years but haven't posted once since maybe 2013 or so when...
Awesome, thank you! Maybe the coil is ok and it is just a dirty connection or something, would be nice to get it working.
Thanks, I put a test light on the coil to distributor wire and it flashed as the engine cranked, so points looked to be working ok.
got it, connected the points to the - side of the coil and ran a jumper wire from the + to the battery. What was throwing me off is I could not...
