My ride doesn't qualify, but sounds like fun and I'm already in Northern California. [IMG]
To convince you I wasn't taking pictures at 100 mph, this is the picture I took, and you know folks with T-buckets pulling trailers don't do no...
That is why I drive looking like this. [IMG]
I meant the speedo has dip switches on the back.
Charlie, Thanks for the heads up on those post #'s. I love that dash, coolest damn thing I've seen. The dip switches on the back of the...
I learned to swim at Citrus College. That is one old school. Your build is going to win so much "hardware" (trophies) if your into doing the...
The really old neighborhood is Glendora in the late 50's. The pictures are Cameron Air Park Estates, off of Hwy 50 between Sacramento and...
Charlie, Beech 18, smaller than a DC3 or Lockheed Electra and instead of Wright R-750's @ 330 hp, everything has to be a hot rod, right? So...
Charlie, Thanks for the "noble warrior" referance, I don't deserve it. Don't you think a "delicate shy nature" is going to be challanged...
Wouldn't drive without them. This is at 65 mph on 395 Northbound north of Carson City, taking pictures of each other. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]

no t-stat.
Just finished a Muncie 21 to Tremec TKO 600 swap in my '23 Track T. My bell housing is from a '64 Vette, bolted right up. The TKO 600 has 26...
Thom, I have really enjoyed this thread. Have not read every page yet, but did you learn some history on your ride? Here is mine at the...
The pressure switch, is that so you can take control of lock up?
If you don't want to ever deal with corrosion, self discharge over time, and want the highest cranking amps per pound of battery weight, then a...
70 mph @ 2000 rpms is what Detroit is giving us in spades. Must have some merit to that gearing. However, if your ride is 1790 lbs, and your...
New automatics with OD and lock up torque converters do just fine. I still prefer to shift, so I use a 5 speed OD manual, but agree with you, the...
Use of spool on the street. i know this is probably not the best idea---have to be real careful when taking sharp turns. But, less overall...
I have taken so much flak on another forum for trying to combine performance with good mpg. A couple guys are convinced that your ride can only be...
How does 30.2 mpg from a 383 sbc and Tremec 5 speed? Now the car only weighs 1790 lbs and 85 mph is all of 2000 rpms so I'm cheating a bit. This...
Sorry, didn't mean to kill the thread.
That is true for work done vs fuel consumed. In a diesel, where the torque is low, around 1600 rpms, that would be were you want to cruise,...
Yes I do, when starting my trans swap from a Muncie M21 to a Tremec TKO 600 5 speed with fuel at $3.20, it would take almost 7 years. This doesn't...
Since I'm not quite a Bucket T, but rather a Track T, can I belong? Or you all are more than welcome here, http://tbuckets.lefora.com/ we have...
700R4, 10.25 to 1 cr, aluminum heads so you can run that cr, Q-jet carb a good choice, and an RV cam. Use this...
Still own it, 1923 Track T, hood line says 2.3 L Pinto engine, but has a 383 stroker mouse built for torque down low, 516 lb/ft @ 2800. Weighs...
That is one fine looking Nova. Is that a factory color?
Sir Woosh, I am now a confirmed power to weight junkie. If I had the Track T in the late 60's, might have been my only hot rod. I'm glad I...
