[ATTACH] Have five primered steel 16x4.5, 10-hole wheels with 2.75-inch backspacing I recently ordered for a '59 CJ-6 I'm building. Coker said...
Don't mean to hijak but since you asked: Mondello Performance did the whole deal. Highlights: H-beam chrome moly rods Custom Ross pistons...
Love those Olds big blocks. Here's video of mine to hold you over till you can fire yours up. It's going in my '48 Willys....
The actual piece of paper will have to come from Sacramento. It usually takes anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks. I've found it usually averages about 2...
Good luck using the Pontiac flywheel. Hope it can be done. The one I got was specifically for a Caddy . Found a couple pics. One is the...
Sorry, no guns, ninja swords, trophy skulls, or cash. A ton of GM A-body interior parts, warranty materials, and dealer brochures came with my...
Man, those are great momentos. Check the front rubber. Definately wartime. You ran your tires until they were see-through. And then some.
I did it for my '70 Edlo 500. The pics are on my work computer so I'd need to post them later, but I used a flywheel from Maximum Torque...
Thanks all for the info and opinions. I think I'll forget running the original type. If I can't find something else I think is as cool I may try...
I always go to my AAA instead of the DMV. Shorter lines and the people are nicer. Same thing happened to me on my '53. They monkey'd it up...
Ones like this. Basically, how restrictive are they? I'd like to pick one up for a project I'm building. The engine cracked 700hp on the dyno....
'Bout my older quote here talking about not wanting to fold up the Tuff II mags or frame. Am I smoking it or what? Anybody in the 160-180lb...
I've got dozens of round little brands but my all time dumbest was sitting Indian-style under a '50s Jeep welding on the floor. Dingle ball...
You've gotta have the car at regular ride height - not up on blocks or a jack. If there's a yoke on the back of your tranny, measure from the...
I've got a 4-core GM radiator that I used in my '69 Cutlass with a 455. It's for sale here:...
If you don't want to mess with wiring in a diode or idiot light you can swap the regulator to convert it to a one wire alternator. Transpo...
Waded through this thread http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=18580&highlight=banger+power but it wasn't what I was hoping for....
Woulda though the Suburban would be either a GM 10- or 12-bolt, not a Dana 44. Got a pic of the '41 axle? May be a Dana 53, but that still may...
Most of you guys give me a serious case of garage envy. Until the dozers come to clear a pad for a 40x60 shop I'm squeezing the '48 Willys p/u and...
Ha! Drug case was empty, thankfully. Believe it or not, the ambulance was about to be cut lengthwise down the middle and turned into a showroom...
The '70s Chevy, Jeep, and Dodge truck stuff will either have a Saginaw 800 (inside the framerail) or Saginaw 805 (outside the framerail) box with...
The bitch runs! Nabbed a 6V battery at Autozone, bypassed the electric fuel pump, and threw a vacuum pump on the fuel line to drag fuel up from...
I always differentiated between rockabilly and surf guitar. Maybe that's just me. It's a lot in the amp if you're just going for the sound....
Did a little more investigating around the ambulance today and discovered the regulator is a 6V unit, as is the coil, headlights, and enough other...
Here ya go.
Just ran a hose and brush over it. Photos are kinder than in person, but it's not that bad. Any photochoppers out there want to show me their...
Seriously, thanks a ton for all the comments, info, and links. I'm eating it up. I've been bouncing around the internet searching for stuff on...
Thanks all for the help. Just dragged this home about 10 hours ago. The coil was swapped to 12V at some point and it looks like a different...
As a kid I used to race with my Skyway T/A just because I didn't know any better. Can't remember if I raced with the pegs on or not. Pretty bad...
Thanks for the info so far. Yeah, it's a Superior Cadillac. Semantics, I guess. To me it's a Caddy. Build plate still riveted to dash with...
