I cringed to open up an old thread, but I am looking for a fuel filter that I can connect 5/16 hard line to. It appears you found one and I can...
A good modern electronic ignition is good for 5 times that. There is a lot of reasons to modern the igntion, there's been many decades of...
With a more modern electronic ignition you can run a full 12 volts and take advantage of the improved spark performance, at least that was my...
Interesting idea about the diode, I was playing with the idea of connecting something like a small light, etc, to draw off the voltage. Similar to...
Yes, exactly. With the wire disconnected I get 12v + and with it connected to the coil and engine running I get about 8.5v. I found the specs...
Well mystery solved, although problem not solved yet. When I connect the ignition lead directly to the coil (as original), I only get about 8.5...
This was the only change, and I agree, voltage back feeding - but only when the engine is running.. that is very strange. This is the way I wired...
I'm scratching my head here. The car is a 55 Chevy Bel Air, pretty much all original. I just upgraded to a Pertronix, and while doing so, I...
Thanks for the tip, I just checked out the thread!
Hey ynottayblock, are those chrome headlights? I've been trying to find some, where did you get those?
No, these were working lights. I just asked my co-worker (he's 63) if he remembers them from back in the day, and he said yes he definitely...
I like that a lot, it's true, at a glance it appears to be completely chrome.
^ I like this way this guy thinks!
Yes! That's what I am talking about!
Well I am not talking about the half moon covers. Those are cool, I just always thought these were cooler still. Maybe Crazy Steve was right and...
Somebody help me out, I know I'm not going crazy. Isn't there custom headlights where the actual glass lens looks like chrome, or a mirror? Just...
Those bumper bracket covers were a wonderful idea and look great, my vote is for chroming them :)
37 Zephyr is one of my all time favorite cars, I've loved the mean grill & long swooping fastback of it since I was a little kid (and that was a...
Sorry to revive such an old thread, but I definitely like the way that looks. If I was to lower mine via cutting the coils only (say 2 inches),...
Man that thing is gorgeous!
Looks like still cold weather for sandblasting and painting! :) My daughter a few years ago, learning to weld. She likes to help me work on cars,...
Man she is looking SWEET!
Consider yourself lucky, I have a much worse problem. Roving gangs of criminals break into my garage and hide or move my tools and parts, several...
I really like your setup, I'd like to do something similar with my 1955 265 SBC.
I think "joint" is the word you wanted, but everybody would know what you mean when you say "joins". How old is your son, it is great that you...
Well very cool man, I'm right down the road from your (Near McGees Xroads) - I hope our paths cross sometime!
Very cool rod, I love your build!
Dude, was that car on Craiglist, for sale in Clayton? I read that ad 10 times, thinking MAYBE I could justify ONE MORE project. Hehe
76 AMC Hornet, 4 door, baby blue, with a 258 cu in 6 cylinder. Something like this: <a...
