Has anyone ever tried high quality caliper paint on a cast iron exhaust manifold? Good range of colors and easily available. Seems like it might...
The funny thing is that if the photo showed a body with the damaged hacked off this wouldn't be a 10 page thread.
I may have that engraved on my tombstone.
I appreciate the info. Thanks!
Yup, you convinced me. Not enough bang for the buck. I'll rebuild the old one. While I've got it torn down, is there any chance of getting a...
I've searched the forums and found adapter advice, but none of it seemed to be talking about stock carbs and stock engines. I have a '65 Chevy...
I'm not a big fan of diesels, but this thing screams for big black smoke. I'd powerwash the heck out of it. Knock all the loose paint and rust...
There's an ancient local stock car track near me. Its a wood bleacher, chain link fence, gravel parking lot kind of place. It hasn't changed in...
I spent the day there. I'm hooked. Best event I've been to. The crowd was so big that it reminded me of the State Fair only much louder. I left at...
Thanks for the info! I'll be there all day Saturday. I missed the cruise last night. Did it get rained out? Anybody get pics or video?
Thanks! I hadn't been there before. Wasn't sure how obvious it would be. :D
I've been to the Dean, but not Gas City. Where is it? How far off 69? The website doesn't have a map to the meet.
Fields just north of Greenfield still has a couple of rows of 60's but very little 50's left. I was in Modoc in the 80's and it was picked over...
In other words, except for the frame/motor mounts, I'm already set up for a small block Chevy? As much as I'd like the keep it all original...
You guys are fantastic. I can't believe the amount of info in such a short time. I guess its time to chuck the 215 and make the swap. The 389 is...
I have a 1964 Lemans convertible with the original stock 215/6cyl with a Muncie 4-speed. I've been collecting parts to make the swap from the worn...
The alignment shop showed me the shims. They didn't know what to make of it. They also told me they couldn't check it because the ball joint and...
Yea, that thought went through my head too. I'll have to verify that one. Any idea what the proper donor should have been for a disc swap?
The shim setup is identical for both A-arms. About an inch in the back and a single shim to the front. It is symmetrical from side to side.
So you think the components are acceptable? Is it normal to see one shimmed out an inch or more?
64 Pontiac Lemans Convert 6 cyl, 4 spd I've got a mess under the front end. The original owner said he had converted the brakes over to 1970...
