This is for a 6 cylinder the V8 did not have the small shank on it, they were larger
I did bleed it and have bled it sever times (since I have a remote bleed line) during the process. I did have clearance using the first bearing....
S-10, they are easy to remove and to find in manual or automatic setups in most junk yards. 8" booster and you are in business takes very little...
My first car had the OD trans in it. My dad loved them, as they were hot back in the 40s and 50s. This is also what I am putting in my 37. As...
This may be off topic slightly, but for many years I made regular trips to the OEM plants in Detroit. When color was brought up in one conference...
People, I really appreciate all the feedback. I really, really do. Never expected it, but, I think I have figured out my problem. I am using an...
I need to know if anyone else has had these problems. I am using a manual trans in the 37. Thought, why bother with manual linkage when I can...
Laugh all you want to about the clothes pins but they work. 49 to 54 Chevys were bad about this as the fuel line came up and around the front of...

I have a 37 and used a 69 Firebird front clip as that was the hot ticket when I first built the car. Now - if you have a chevy S10 frame I would...
