So I removed the carb and removed/cleaned the ports at the bottom of the bowls and the idle mixture seats. Got it all back together and tried it...
I've also been running the car with the Edelbrock for awhile with no driveability issues. The problem only started relatively recently. Gonna...
I took that setup off because someone told me the carb was too big for the engine. The more you know now, eh? Anyhow, the Edelbrock installation...
This was happening with a new distributor as well. I understand that new parts can be bad, too, but the same issues with two different parts...
Okay, I found two issues that are no-brainers that I missed. The condenser wire connection in the distributor was very loose, so I tightened that...
I have a 64 Galaxie with a 289 engine from a 66. Has an Edelbrock 1405 carb and Edelbrock Performer intake. It's been causing me to invent new...
Thought I was getting somewhere. Did one of the rears last night by touch/sound and I'm satisfied with it. Went to the front today and just when I...
I've seen pictures of this tool, but haven't actually seen one in front of me. What did you use to make it? It might be handy to have it around....
Nice. I'm going to pull the master anyway to go through it again to better rule it out, but I'll check that centering, too. If I had a smooth...
Car is on stands. Went out and tried spinning each wheel cold; without touching the pedal. Transmission in neutral, parking brake off. - Front...
I understand the heat part, but I can't even make it out of the driveway like this. It happens when I push the pedal to put it in gear. A drum...
Using regular DOT 3 fluid. Put the car up on stands to better evaluate. The whole thing is kinda screwy, but as of now, after pumping the pedal,...
All rubber is brand new... hoses and all cylinder kits. Also new springs. I never removed the shoes, just moved them out of the way. I think...
I have a 48 Dodge sedan with 4 drums. I put new rubber in the whole brake system last summer; hoses, 6 cylinders, and master. Since then, I have...
I was looking for input on engine/transmission upgrades to rod my Ford Model AA. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I posted a question on the board a few hours ago with the app on iPad, go to check it now and it's gone. Nothing in a search, nothing in...
According to folks at the Twin Cities Model A Club meeting the other night, it sounds like they're trying to thin their supply for now. I believe...
I may be good, Budget36, but I'll keep you in mind! Thanks!
A bit of grinding on the starter pad and that piece inside the bellhousing seems to be good! Going to put it in the car this week! I appreciate...
Oh... I'm pretty sure my 230 is without the fluid drive. I still have the column-shift transmission, but no column. If there's any obvious...
That's it, Bob! Crankshaft is slightly longer. I didn't get an accurate measurement, but have taken some metal down on the bell and starter pad....
Tried to post a couple pictures, but it kept "processing" so I assume they must be too big. The parts that are grinding... on the clutch cover,...
The clutch is physically identical except the teeth on the flywheel are wider on the older one. Still physically identical. I don't think the...
I recently got a 230 Dodge flathead to put in my 37 Plymouth. The 230 is dated 1951. The blown engine I pulled out of my 37 is a 218 dated 1946. I...
Oh, and I already cleaned up the pan and pump. The engine was pretty clean. Even behind the valve covers was very little sludge. But now I'm...
The first two pics are of the "alternate" can I was going to use if the sock wouldn't work. The orange Fram was one that came in a box with a...
These are the can that came with the engine. The last pic has a canister filter that came from the can I was going to use in the event the sock...
I bought a drop-in canister filter before I cracked mine open. It will fit fine, but I was wondering about the lid having a half-circle screen...
I was referring to the bypass canisters... basically perforated tin can... Wix type. I guess the sock was an alternative to that. I have a couple...
I just got a 51 Dodge 230 engine with the can for a sock-type oil filter. Is it possible to rebuild the filter that I pulled out? These filters...
