sorry - old setup cooled just fine with fan zip tied to the rad. I made an aluminum shroud. Now I’ve tried both ways, had it in and off. Makes...
So what’s the solution to “it’s the radiator”? It’s already a nice aluminum 3 row…. 4 row??
Does it dry evenly?? I’m not exactly sure what you mean. But I did use a pressure washer and it cooled right down. Again… even while I fired the...
Ok, I’ll try to reply to as many questions/suggestions as I can. (Again, thanks for so many replies. This is really boggling me so I’m thankful...
fair question… I don’t really know. It’s been a year at this point since I set them and I don’t really remember details, and like I said it’s my...
What about improper ring gap? If I messed those up and did either too much or too little, could that cause this style of overheating without any...
Thanks so much for all the replies. I’ll post on here if I get it licked
I’ve richened up the carb and messed with the timing til I’m blue in the face. I am 99% sure it’s not timing. Swapped out for a known good one...
lol I am very not beyond something stupid. I do all of my work after 10:00p so anything is possible. But no, I am sure the thermostat is ok.
same 3000cfm electric fan I had in there previously. It’s less than 3yrs old and feels just as strong as the day I installed it. Also can’t...
it’s a 4yo aluminum radiator rated for a v8, I’d have a hard time believing it can’t handle a very plain 350. and to answer others: yes I’ve...
yes I did the rebuild myself. First one ever, but I took my time and went “by the book” and so far I don’t seem to have any kind of failures. Just...
vacuum advance interestingly makes the car stumble and respond poorly to throttle, so I have it capped off currently. While it’s a puzzle to me,...
And just in case it helps to be extra clear, same distributor, timing is correct, and no it’s not a reverse flow pump. again the weird part here...
Freshly built 350 in my 48, got it broke in, started and timed and running good, but it’s overheating…weirdly. It take a good long while to get...
Bump
Price drop - $200
Price drop - $350
Still available. Would like it gone this weekend
**SOLD** I recently picked this up and hoped to build, but things took a turn and now I need it out of my way. This is a really good original...
A happy ending indeed! Thanks for reaching out DRolston! My buddy said he’ll send you a message on Ford Barn. I guess he spends most of his time...
O wow that was quick. You're the man, TomT. If we are able to make it out to Williamsburg for a car show we'll have to meet up! We owe you a pizza.
You guys are the best. Thanks so much! The HAMB for the win yet again:cool:
thanks for the help!
ah, thanks Don! that's MUCH better
Thanks Gary!
My buddy is trying to track down his late Gramps’ old 34 Ford pu. Evidently owned by somebody near the Williamsburg, VA area, found pics...
Original heater unit that came out of my 1948 Chevrolet Fleetline Aerosedan. I’m guessing it runs on 6v, but was not hooked up when I bought the...
City: Beavercreek State: Ohio Price: $50 USD Here's a pair of never-installed leaf springs. I believe they were bought for a 50s Chevrolet...
Here’s my question for this weekend (buckle up, a lot more coming this year): Fuel gauge on the 48 is reading erratically/inaccurately/useless....
