My '56 panel has holes in the crossmember and the mount bolted to it. I bought it with the '54 261 already in it....
The 4 port hole version in 1950 was only the Roadmaster and the front sheetmetal was longer. The '41 compound carburetion was the easiest upgrade...
Similar to the one I have, I've heard people put their hand on the fender or even their cheek. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Great Scores. I have the older version of wheel balancer (non strobe version) and have yet to use it. The brake shoe arcing machine is hard to...
Yup, you're right. I mixed it up with the antique tool swapmeet in Corona.....that's the 13th.
As far as I remember there's 2 model A swaps (same club, same spot). The first model A swap near the beginning of the year is the gas/sign and A...
[IMG] Soooo close, but no cigar for me. Anyway BTT for the op.
Might be making 2 trips, as the San Bernardino A swapmeet is the 13th.
I know the later Buicks (40s-50s) had a switch on the carb. It had a metal ball inside and made contact when full throttled to crank, then when...
Power to the coil and signal should produce some spark out of the secondary tower, an inline spark tester should show this. Then use the inline...
Find a 4 wheel drum boosted car/truck with the same size wheel cylinders (bore) and copy that system. Of course the weight might be different and...
Can you buy a physical copy somewhere, not fond of streaming.
This place was like a fairy had a bad dream of West Side Story.........all tutu's, pompadours, pink switch blades and proper jean cuff height....
If you need pics I have some of Ford and Chevy. All of my manual cars/trucks are column shift and have modified some in the past to work with...
[ATTACH] I was here in 99ish lurking for a few years......using web crawler. [IMG]
That's what I'm planing for soon. I did realize that I like old houses and old buildings but I don't have enough time and energy to do a house and...
The 22R is pretty bulletproof. The only problems I've ever seen is the front crank seal/oil pump o ring and a warped exhaust manifold. A few...
There's companies that can rebuild the bulb and line.......might not be cost effective though. Plus those gauges aren't that hard to find. I like...
LED does that, it take time to heat up the filament in a incandescent bulb.
Power in power out when pressure is present on the switch (closing the contacts) or manually closing them without it hooked to the master. If you...
Headlight upgrade. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/sealed-beam-headlights.1324784/#post-15463071
With a Supertrapp on it. Kerker was the big one I remember seeing on 70s/80s bikes around here, but I do remember Supertrapp also (from my 90s...
New(er) cars have gotten easier to diagnose then previous years with the right knowledge and tools, but TO ME they are just a soulless box to get...
Best view ever......
Good to know for the future......hopefully he wants to keep doing axles for awhile.
Super nice and patient guy. He will be sorely missed.
Wait, they make new gauges ?!?!?!?! :D
I have to revisit this thread in the future when it comes closer to build time. I might try my hand at the A but a full interior for the '47 might...
I'm on the fence about keeping my '47, but I think some mods will make me like it more. In the future would be lowering, blackwall bias, driveline...
Done this a bunch and have the box art pile to prove it.
Separate names with a comma.
