Toyota steering box is gone. 10/17/19 Power top cylinders and pump are gone. 10/17/19 Nash heater box is gone. 10/17/19 61 F100 Gemmer box in...
Projects are far enough along now that I know that I'll not need the following... Adding items 3 thru 7. 11/19/19. ALL PARTS GONE! Thank to all...
32" and 18" are what I get also. I have the 4.0l in my 37 Nash with the 258 crank and rods in it. If you need any other dims just ask as mine is...
On that early Ford truck you mention, I have a '61 Uni short w/b and I changed out the bench seat to buckets along with a tilt wheel. I fit easily...
By your photo, shouldn't the pitman arm be at "12" instead of "6"?
Saw a build in "Rod and Custom" some years back, been lurking since.
This is one my dad told me many times.... One summer Sunday about '54 he and my mother are getting ready to leave her parents place in Green Bay...
The easiest swap that I've heard of is to use the power steering box from a 1979 to 85 Toyota 4x4. There is a kit for the installation that makes...
If the crank bushing for a standard trans is still in the crank that will stop you. A good rule for the torque converter being seated to the trans...
Like to see your Uni. I am working on a short '61 now and I have the CV front end/rear end already under it. I'm running stock CV rims and tires...
In '75 or so, Gary and I put a built 428 into a 67 mustang conv. That car was scary fast. Hit the throttle hard once and, with good bite, pulled...
You have to do something with that header. Motors move when you're going down the road and that tube will hit the box. One wrap on the tube will...
"Rod And Custom" Mag had a editors note in the back of one of their mag's sometime back where they were talking about this same thing. To back up...
Thanks for the photos. I couldn't make it this year. I hope the dude with the 37 AMB grill (13 of 91) has it next year. I could use that!
I like your build. Especially the way you anchored the rear of the control arm. Keep it up, love to see more. As far as the weight of that 300...
You are missing the "I" terminal feed to the coil.
My old boss talking about another worker who just broke a door glass he was installing (using an air wrench) "he is one chromosome short of a potato."
The main reason for that part is vibration and harmonic cancellation in the factory car. I'd just call it an OTS part (over the shoulder) and let...
Just for an FYI, 78-80 Fairmont had a 200 cid six and 4 speed over drive from the factory. I don't know if that bell housing will accept a 5 speed...
Nothing wrong with more doors. The family fits real nice in mine. I don't have a current pic as its under going a rebuild at present. This pic is...
In picture 1 is the car sitting on the level with the suspension at rest? If that is the case the left hand tie rod "looks" like its going up hill...

Young and stupid as usual, working up under the dash of my 64 Galaxy I couldn't get the light in a place where I could see what I was doing. So,...
Short ones are stiffer, long ones softer. What kind of total ride do you want? I have taken out the shortest one most of the time.
I drive Madison to Phillips about once a month and there is one I've been meaning to stop in and see. It's located at Hwy 51 and County Road "S"...
Go with the electric kit and keep the later fuel pump. I've driven many an early Falcon/Comet and the vac wipers just suck.
If my memory serves there should be a 14ga tin that is between the flywheel and block that the smaller starter ring fits into. Small block Fords...
I just picked up a 61 UNI. Is the torque box you are talking about the area that's rusted out on the side of this box? This rusted area seems to...
