I have a bunch of 600 Edelbrocks but only one 650. If it's in good condition, I'll probably ask $100 or so.
I was thinking the same thing.
Ok, so I spent the last few hours unboxing, Googling, tagging, re-boxing, etc. As expected, there was one carb that will allow me to recoup much...
So I was perusing FBMP this morning and saw and ad for a table full of carbs for $500. Owner is closing his shop and these were carbs that were...
Bumping an old thread; I'm working on a mild small block Ford build that really needs a hydraulic flat tappet and I'm worried about flattening a...
Forgot about this thread. Here's the update: [MEDIA]
Probably going with a McMillan stock. Reloading is something I want to tackle at some point, but I have too many damn hobbies right now. Thanks
Loves me some vintage Mavericks and Comets! I have come close to buying a few over the years; I think doing a street/strip build on a solid one...
Remington 700 ADL, .308, Timney trigger, Leupold 3-9x40. Nothing exotic, just a deer rifle. Needs a stock that fits me (I'm 6'4"), needs 2" cut...
Man, I feel your pain. I've had a rough stretch over the past 10 or so days. 1. Stepped on a large'ish stingray while surf fishing near Corpus...
Love the Ranchero! I've been wanting one for a while; just haven't pulled the trigger. '66-'67 Fairlanes are my favorite car, BTW. Have owned...
I'm thinking 70's and agree that drugs likely played a part in the build. I like the idea of getting it running and taking it to a Corvette show...
After all the "Might as Wells," we're currently at this point on the tractor. My buddy is a lot like me -- his ratchets work extremely well...
Still making progress on the tractor. Today we cleaned and set the points, changed plugs and plug wires, removed the old gas tank, and got the...
Thanks for all the input. Any thoughts on dealing with a rusty fuel tank? It looks like reproductions are available, and if they're worth a...
Thanks for the info
Gotcha. Thanks
My buddy already mentioned this to me, so I think we'll be installing that. Thanks
So my buddy picked this up a month or two ago; believe it's a 1950 8N. Those are everywhere around here for $800 (project) to $3,000 (nice...
Well, one of them is still leaking just a bit. I suspect these washers are just regular copper; a copper crush washer is likely softer. I would...
I installed new washers that are thicker by .020" and torqued to 22 ft/lbs. They're holding so far. If they spring a leak again, I'll anneal them.
Some good tech here. I'm fighting this battle right now.
Thanks for the input. I'll have to try that at some point. Scott
The trans wasn't full of fluid, but I did install the torque converter prior to sliding it under, and it had 1.5 quarts in it, so I wasn't able to...
I used to be a fairly serious powerlifter years ago, but the days of heavy deadlifts and bench presses are over. These days I'm trying to work...
You've got yourself a deal! My parents live in The Woodlands, so probably just a few miles from you. I'll let you know next time I'm headed that...
Those look really sturdy!
Damn, those must have been heavy! But I'm sure they were sturdy as hell, too. I'm tempted to add a sheet of plywood to the outside of these to...
I'm glad that my driveway is concrete. Having said that, I'm often wrenching in the driveway and it's not quite level. I think it's probably...
I ended up shooting a video of the cribbing construction and getting the car up on jack stands. Link below. Mods please delete if not allowed....
