Yeah, you're gettin' down to the fine tunin' when you down to the RCHs!
Never heard them called cowboys, but I have heard them called "chicken lips".
Yeah, I had been there. It does tell me that it is newer than 1947!
I have an old Frankland QC in my '27 roadster. I bought an old late model dirt car in 1986. It had this Frankland QC in it. No telling how old...

I have some anodized aluminum calipers that I want to paint red. It is a nice smooth finish. Should I scuff it and paint it? Duplicolor...
I actually have an analog volt gauge in the dash that runs through the wiring harness. I have been hesitant to mention that I have an OT fuel...
Wire from ALT to starter is at least 10 ga. It looks bigger. Then my harness connects to the same starter post along with the + battery cable. I...
Good question. All I know about that circuit is that there is a wire that comes out the end that says VOLT METER on it about every foot or so.
LOL! Yeah, right now the starter is in the new starter's box marked ?????? I probably ought to figure out what's wrong, if anything. Storage...
Nope. Not oil soaked.
OK. A lot of questions. I'll try to answer. The car has 12 years and 35K trouble free miles with this electrical system. It's my daily. Engine...
The 12.4 was after a couple of failed start attempts. The battery now reads 12.83 which is right about where it should be. 12.4 should still...
I absolutely hate intermittent electrical problems. I have tried many times to get it to not start again, hot and cold. I have Ohme'd out every...
The timing is set at 16 degrees initial, 18 degrees mechanical, 34 all in at 2800. Vacuum advance adds 14 degrees. Arrived at after a lot of...
I built the engine. 355 SBC. It does have 10.2:1 compression. It has 7K miles on it now, and this is the first time that happened. But I don't...
I stopped at a store yesterday in my '26 T coupe. Ran inside and back out in less that 5 minutes. Turned key to start and got one revolution of...
I'm not deciding on a cam based on lift. I guess I didn't ask the question correctly. I just picked a random lift number to illustrate my...
I am preliminarily spec'ing out a new sbc build. Thinking about cam lift and rocker arms. Let's say I have decided on .550" of lift. I can get...
I got a buddy that always calls me a "Non-Sociable Old Bastard". I don't know why.:)
So, with the heads removed, the intake manifold is just sitting on the china walls? Have you tried to twist the manifold side to side? Never had...
Hey, thanks! So basically, of the 2 wires on the buzzer, red goes to one prong on the flasher, and the black goes to the other prong. Easy...
Yes, please I would like to see how to wire up a buzzer.
I have a flasher in my '26 T coupe that beeps when the turn signal is on. A buddy of mine saw, and heard, it when riding with me. He has the...
My '26 T coupe. I don't think I have posted it here before. I also have a '27 T roadster that is not quite HAMB friendly. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I looked it up. Specially made for converter shudder. Never heard of it. I might try some of that, but I think I will call Freakshow first.
sorry double post
Yeah, that's the way mine was with 4th gear change and lockup stacked right on. With my new switch I determined that the lockup on mine was worth...
