Why would I spend more money to make less power? Touche'
I'm preparing to pull the th350 transmission out of my 32 Ford roadster, from below. I'm trying to come up with a way to suspend the 327 Chevrolet...
OK...I have the spring kit. It's easy enough to try - will do. This was my initial thought, but someone talked me out of it. No fenders burnout...
I run 91 and it seems to like that better, but not a big difference. The engine seems to come off of idle better at 10-12 degrees advance, but the...
350 gear ratio I'll check out the governor thing
7.50-16 Firestone bias ply tires... hooking up, it is not. Pete and Jakes ladder bars with a buggy spring.
I'm reopening this discussion because I am getting ready to pull my TH350 with leaking front seal out to have it gone through and I'm wondering if...
Huh?
That's an interesting thought- how much of the brake fluid is pushed back to the master cylinder by the springs in the drums. The 10 lb residual...
It got up to a whole 41° the other day so I went out to celebrate the heatwave (in my shirt sleeves) by starting to install my bop top... [ATTACH]

My MC, mounts and brakes are quite different from a anything 1939. The mount is Kiwi Konnection, the pedal is my design, the MC is an aftermarket...
That's what I still have to do...adjust the bolt/pins on the top of those front Lincoln repro drums. It got cold AF here and I don't have a heated...
The weight of the pedal does not compress the MC at all. I designed it in CAD and the weight of the pedal and pad is well balanced as to not push....
Power brake booster ? :p
I still don't follow what you mean by "adjusting the pushrod". I calculated the geometry in CAD and then made the parts - I have a rod with...
Adjusting the push rod pin? How so?
I did not do the centering procedure - will certainly try that. It's as simple as you describe?
Check on all counts. Everything is set up properly, checked and re-checked. Main issues; The brakes work, just not ideal - takes a lot of travel...
Yes, the shoes are out and making contact with no pedal
What do you have for brakes? I have 1940 Lincoln re-pops on the front and standard Ford 9" out back. The front rear cylinders are an inch and 1/8,...
Put a layer of batting in there and sit it out in the sun - all those ripples and wrinkles will magically disappear. I was disappointed with mine...
Be careful if you are doing this on a car that has thinner sheet metal (like a 60's muscle car). The generated heat can warp panels.
The problem is not the product, but your application methodology. It has to be submerged or have continuous flow via a pump - (that's why I...
When I first read the title of this thread, I though it said "Five Wives Swap" That sounds great, I'm tired of my current model.
EvapoRust is AMAZING! for large items, you have to either dunk it, or use a pond fountain pump (cheap at home depot) to circulate the fluid over...
I'm inclined to make my own copy of a Bop-Top if I can't find something else. Will post on my build thread if I do. I'm not 100% in love with the...
Yes, please... thanks
Sid has discontinued production of the bop top. As of this weekend he only had three left but now he only has one, I sent him a message to buy the...
