Were the 1956 Mercury's equipped with 12 volt gauges the same as the 56 Ford?
I actually have a whole bunch of those early starters, but this flywheel and clutch is actually going on a 460 with big spline toploader and a...
Looks like the multiple packages of aftermarket bolts I have and which I thought were ordered for a 390 a few years back are all 3/8" size, so...
Have run into this before, but previously I have just used original Y block clutch bolts after searching high and low but never finding any new or...
IDK about other 77 302 with C4 equipped cars, but the 77 Granada with a 302 and C4 had rear axle gear ratios between 2.48 and 2.73, so whatever...
I am doing some low buck engine swaps using Buick 455 motors in non-Buick chassis. I like the Buick 455's not only for their torque, but also cuz...

Just the kind of info I was hoping for. Cars are at farm 140 miles away so hard to just measure differences. Chance that my 40 PU axle would give...
Recently picked up a couple rough 33 Chevs. One of them is on a 31 frame per the owner, the other has no frame. Anyone know what year frames...
