I've got a few damaged heads on the oval head screws that hold the door hinge to the door jam on my 1940 Plymouth P10. Is there a source to get...
That was an uneventful end to the ominously loose hubcap.
I have an auto meter mechanical speedo in my car using a lokar speedo cable and a standard T5 speedo gear and retainer. Easy breezy.
My shop, which coincidentally is for sale (along with a classic colonial home built in 1941) if anyone is looking for a place in Portsmouth, VA....
kanter would probably have it.
I just went through some similar struggles with a 302 in my car. Similar situation, bought the motor used with an unknown performance cam. I...
Nice truck. I've got a brand new in the box Weiand Action Plus intake for a 318 I'm selling. Bought it for a stalled project and now need cash to...
Great, thanks!
My youngest just turned three and loves to be in the shop. He's been hanging with me out there since he was tiny...though I don't get much done...
It would have been a flat 6 with a 3 on the tree. Those motors were essentially unchanged from the late 30's well into the 50's. You should be...

Hey fellas, I'm trying to help a buddy locate his old race truck. It's a 409 powered 1954 Chevy pickup. The truck was sold during a division of...
When I needed rockers for my '40, Plymouth Doctor told me they needed to be made and it would take three weeks. I called back in three weeks, and...
Hey, thanks for all the help guys. She's running smooth as silk now, better than it ever has before. Thank you sirs!
Well Mart, you were right. Two bent pushrods. So, how did you free this all up?! Thanks again for all the help guys. [IMG]
Checked the firing order last night beebeebobby...it was correct. I'll take a look at those valves tonight Mart. Hopefully by this evening I'll...
Thanks guys. I got my hands on a compression gauge, but don't have the right size thread fitting for my motor. Hoping Napa has one in stock this...
Thanks for the help here guys. It's been a hell of a learning experience. Tough lessons, but I'll be better for it. I still have no idea what was...
The 300 six in my truck has a nasty misfire in cylinders 4 and 5. It was running fine when I got home from work last night, but when I started it...
I'm anxiously taking notes here Rock as I'll someday be doing this same thing putting a 360LA in my '40 sedan. Can't wait to see how the rear goes...
Finally finished this one up. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Nice work. I have a '40 2 door sedan with a lot of the same rust yours had. I have a LONG way to go! What are you using for a rear end?
That's a bitchin' stroller!
Thanks! It's my first attempt at freehand flames. Far from perfect...but he's 2 and he's hard on equipment, so I figure it's not going to stay...
Almost finished with this for my boy Alex. [IMG] [IMG]
Thanks Bill...you're right, better safe than sorry. aaarghh.
Got out to the garage for a few hours tonight. The motor does turn over easily by hand. Looks much better now that I cleaned most of the crap out...
I am sure of nothing at the moment! Could be. I have seen mice in the shop before, and mud dobbers in the yard. Most of whatever is it, is ferrous...
Wanna buy a small block? Just kiddin'...I got the Catholic guilt.
Wouldn't both sides be screwed up if something was in the manifold and got sucked down? The other side looks fine. Strange, eh?
