It would only be harsh if you were running the total weight of the pickup rear on the sagged springs, plus the coils, my suggestion was to take...
Just me thinking outside the circle, what about keeping the original (sagged) spring setup you have to locate/mount the diff, and run coil over...
That rear end/alloy wheel, looks very much like an 83-84 Toyota Cressida.
Over here in New Zealand, back in the 60 & 70's, those flat 6's were used a lot in boats and speedway ''stock cars''.
I've got an old corroded brass 30's Cadillac hubcap that looks/is shaped like that, hexagonal center, with a round silver/stainless badge in the...
Just wondering, maybe it was set up that way to compensate for the weight of the driver, and you've now fitted the spring the wrong way round,...
I think the white car beside the Loehmann Chevrolet is an Austin A40 Devon, definately not a Ford Anglia..
Don't think it's Vauxhall (they didn't have pot metal grills from memory, I could be wrong tho) To me it looks more like the upper part of a...
Use the part number on the box (B9TF 12127 - A) and do a a Google search, it'll tell you everything you want to know..
Is the manifold tight? also, take off the carb, place a sheet of coarse grit wet and dry,on a piece of heavy glass, (make sure there are no...
I'm thinking it's the shaddow of the block, on the piston, to the left of the 3 7/16 marking..
A quick question for all the ''Hit and miss engine" enthusiasts, out of interest what would a hit and miss engine be worth to sell ? I'm in New...
Looks like a common old "AC" fuel pump, lots of GM 6 cylinders run them, I think the Ford 6's also had them. In operation, the fuel comes in to...
You wont know until you try. Get a smallish item that is chromed (for a test piece). A piece of round 1/2'' dowel, 2'' long (or whittle down a bit...
Great work, another wooden framed Chev saved.. Those boot lid struts are from EJ-EH Holden wagons (from memory) HD on had the wind up window..
At some stage it hasn't had one of them plastic cam timing gears fitted, and now jumped a tooth??
185 degrees is when the thermostst opens to allow the coolant to flow, no where near operating temperature (unless it's a non pressurised system)...
Fill the gearbox with oxalic/water mix, or vinegar for a few days, then see what they look like..
I agree with what ''saltflats'' said, plus the cylinder hone marks don't look factory either..
Original post was 14 Nov 2003.. You might be a bit late Benzine440..
On my 37 Nash, I just used sealer between the body and glass, I didn't have any old rubber to utilise.. I made 4 small hooks to hold/locate the...
If you are interested in buying an item on FB marketplace, and it's out of town, get the seller to send a pic of said goods, with a recently dated...
It's always a cracked flexi-plate..
Hey 34 GAZ.. It's a 38 Nash, as you say, slightly different swage lines, and it's got the two piece rear window, and the top of the grille flares...
If you have spark coming from the coil to the distributor rotor, but not going any further (to the cap contacts/plug wires) to me that says it's...
Just back off the adjuster another click and try it, I've struck this with GM Holden (Autralian) vehicles..
It won't make any difference to the braking, but if you want both sides to look the same, do the same to the other mount bracket (mount it out...
Is the inlet manifold tight?? Does it have a PCV valve around that area?? And as others have said, could be valve guides or old/hardened seals.
deathrowdave, long as it's the right size for the seal, a jack handle will definately do the trick, plenty of room to move when you miss with the...
Did you adjust it with the stearing in the middle of the box? The gears are designed to have minimal/almost zero play in the middle, and clearance...
