Love that last question. Having been rear ended in traffic a few times, I'll be keeping headrests. My neck is traditional when undamaged.
Unless my memory is broken, only the 428/410 were externally balanced, 390 and smaller were neutral balanced. Got burned once when I took a job...
My guess? Probably due to the ease of machining the wear and working surfaces coupled with long life. The inner female cone surface is carefully...
I'm reminded of an air compressor I once had. two cylinder two stage with a plate between the head and block. Said plate was where the reed...
I know there are a lot of differences between the actual hot tank process at different shops. But, every one I've had done had all the junk...
Can't speak to the model, but I bought a McGraw pancake. Roofed one house and it broke a rod. But, they are so cheap I picked up another and...
8877 No matter how many times you may have heard it, more money does not always equal higher quality. In other words, you don't always get what...
I was told long ago that the govt traded the warranty for a lower price. That's one of the reasons the govt ones are externally different, so...
I think this is what he was calling a wide belt sander, what I would too being a woodworker. But not one that needs this level of equipment.[IMG]
Kirby: The original HVLP spray system. Just missed the marketing opportunity.
I wasn't very clear about the exhaust cross over potential issue. I've seen a couple of engines with one weak bank due to an exhaust leak into...
Only advice I have is to get yourself an laser thermometer and check over each port in the manifolds to gather some real info. Might find a...
Those block pics are interesting. Particularly the water passage in the front, looks like a flathead 6 Mopar! Does it have a distribution tube...
It's probably a 54 or first series 55 engine, not sure exactly how the first 55 was configured.. I'd probably just drill the crossmember and shim...
I believe it works as well as ATF in most cases. Not sure it works better. Oil and gas additive, air tool oil, penetrating oil, even hand...
Funny story, I sold a couple of heads to replace ones broken due to bolt #2 in that pic. Dad had a salvage where I worked part time in the 60s....
Yep, I don't remember when cup expanders started coming in cylinder kits, but they were available aftermarket for cylinders that did not have...
Haven't read the leak info in detail, but does your road draft tube still have the screen/filter installed? that could cause a big increase in...
Clutch type fan or not?
I think there is a direct path very briefly as the oil hole in the crank passes the squirt hole. It provides a metered flow every revolution....
Lots of good advice and I agree, very fixable. Patch the holes. Lightly sand blast. The heavyly/deep pitted areas could be repaired by...
But the switch is the ignition source. When the contacts make or break there will be a small spark. All my fans are brushless. the only ones...
Even a box fan would be explosion proof IF the vapors don't pass over the fan. What I have done, and believe to be totally safe, is place the...
Me too! There are even some spots a few miles south that has short sections of the original route and even what looks like 30s pavement Where...
IF you have access to a mill, that would be the best way IMO. Use an end mill to cut the weld from the rim side until it's released, knock out...
Shot some primer on my first car that way. Rescued from a back yard with surface rust on the hood and top from tree dropping sap on it. 46...
A pinion mounted disk is one option. I have most of the parts, but I'll probably just not use one at first, if I ever get motivated to finish...
Like others have said, any compact V8 will work best. But there have been hemis and big blocks stuffed in there. Now, if a driver with good...
Reminds me of this. It happened with an old car, 'cept the car was newish when it occurred. Back story is I was working for Dad at the...
Or, one could use an alternator that mounts a vacuum pump on its back. Used on a lot of small diesel trucks. I have one off a Mitsubishi that I...
