Look at the splines on the axle and they will tell you what you need to know.
Pat, If the input shaft did not wiggle then there would be very few cars that the transmission would work in without serious problems due to bell...
Thank God for giving Dennis and his 3W Deuce Coupe a second chance.
That's some cool stuff. My little teacup poodle was howling with dyno pulls.
This 32 coupe was on Pinks All Out. The color along with the stock valve covers caught my attention. I do not remember the exact details but the...
I have a bit of twin engine heritage myself albeit it a stretch. I hauled my dragster many a mile in the box that hauled R.C. Williams original...
Do you have a mixture of bias ply and radial tires?
X? Y? Seems to me that you would be working against yourself by using a GM X frame. You will have to fabricate outriggers to mount the body and...
What is there to read? The picture told the story. Had the arms not flexed it was still poor engineering and would have most certainly failed. Be...
Building hot rods is an art that requires the builder to be the engineer and fabricator. Many of the ready made parts are actually no more than...
Show a picture of the original Y-Block pulleys. It appears to me that your belt is too wide for the late model pulley. The burnt rubber is too...
HINT: S10 is taboo in this forum. Have you ever watched the movie Deliverance with Ned Beaty? The other characters belong to this forum. When...
Thread taps are not designed to cut on the minor diameter so if you were able to start the tap then is would eventually become a press fit in the...

I replaced a countless number of camshafts and lifters in all of the different Chevrolet engines when I worked as a mechanic at two different...
That's one of the GMC cannoball cabs. I would think twice before you go whackin' it up. The old truckers that build vintage rigs would snap that...
Go with it. When I use to use rubber isolators I used a bolt that had enough threads to allow for a large washer and lock nut on the under side so...
Check for broken valve spring at location of bent pushrod.
Are you using high quality lined cables? If not hen you'll regret it.
Stay clear of Interstate batteries. I loaded three of my trucks up with the best battery that Interstate had to offer and after the second pickup...
Well it's encouraging to know that someone is paying attention. The EPA closed down the last lead smelting company in the US. It had nothing to do...
Is not beauty in the eye of the beholder?
2345.coupe, I am a fan of bobber trucks. If I could find a perfect cab then I would built one. Their are numerous engineering and workmanship...
