Once again, this POS fights back. Still had some oil leaking from the filter relocator. After re-taping the threads & carefully tightening the...
I have flamed everything from a rattle can job on a daily driven beater, to an award-winning job on a "show truck", but I will always keep this...
I too have done many things and feel fortunate to have done so. Raced circle track asphalt street & super stocks in the late 80s-early 90s. Have...
No, but I've heard a few that looked at my aluminum headed flathead and say, "It's got a HEMI in it!"
Finished. Good enough for an old Triumph. [ATTACH] Couldn't resist adding a little Spindrift flake too. [ATTACH] It's Black. With HOK Gold base...
You gotta be from around here to appreciate this one, but there's a small town a few miles from here named Rio. Pronounced Rye-Oh. A friend of...
Tried my hand at the acetylene smoke trick for the first time. It's my son's Triumph tank. Clearcoat to come. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
My overheating was on an overhead engine, but the principle is the same. My Flathead runs great, but it's a "59" not an "8BA". Search for 8BA...
Getting past the guys who think which transmission they have has something to do with penis length, this is a serious question I'm mulling over...
I am a fan of '63s (we are the same vintage). It's my favorite of the '61-'64s. I'm not a fan of Cragar SS because they are everywhere and on...
Maybe. Pull the heads & do a thorough look of the deck. There are some cracks you can live with, and some you can't. About 1000 threads on here...
Did your upgrade to the cooling system cure the overheating? Cleaning out the inside of the block helps as well, and there's a bunch of...
Here she is, in all her glory. FINALLY roadworthy. Still some bugs to work out & adjustments to be made, but it will make it out of town now....
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Not a great photos, but it belongs to a friend.
@Dan Greenberg If you ever make a trip to Wisconsin, you should consider these 4 shows: 1) Showdown at Sanford Field. Mostly banger racing, but...
@Dan Greenberg - Your photography skills are unmatched. I always look forward to seeing your work and hope someday you'll aim & shoot one of my cars.
Found an oil leak at the remote filter housing/bracket thing. Took it apart. Used yellow Teflon tape. Tighten...crack. Ordered a new one from...
Here's the ones I did for last year's show that I put on annually at a local bar: [ATTACH] This is one of my favorites, given to one of my...
Aluminum FH intakes usually $200-$250. Not the $500+ people are asking. Steel FH heads - I can't give them away. Same with other FH parts....
TIMING IS EVERYTHING. Just took it for the 3rd shakedown cruise, and the gauge never got over 190*. Didn't have to be towed home. I'm claiming...
Might make a trip up there on Friday if I can talk my Bro into going. The walking might be a problem this year. Damn sciatica.
Cut the bottom off one that fits the carb and weld to the air cleaner of your choice. Ignore my welding. [ATTACH] I did old 1bbl oil bath to 2bbl...
@theHIGHLANDER A small probe you put ointment on & it runs on AA batteries? I think I know several women who have one in their nightstand.
Next year will be 50 years for me and this ol' gal: [ATTACH]
@bobss396 I found some tuquoise/teal chrome lift latch ones for my Buick project online. They are everywhere. I think mine were on eBay, but...
@cshades Hey Chris, I appreciate it. It's just a time thing. I can get the whole new (cheap, I know) thing here in 2 days and it should tell me...
So, the advance is definitely not working. Tried sucking & blowing (keep your comments to yourself) through a hose hooked to the advance, and...
I'm not sure if they do. I knew of one that did, but that was years ago. I'll bet most never heard of a "Sun Machine." I'll dig into this a...
Sure wish we had a "LOVE" button on here, 'cause I would have pushed it a few times on this thread.
Old lower hose & new: [ATTACH] Truthfully, the one I made fit better. But for replacement purposes, finding a '77 Impala hose should be easier...
