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...
It is a Freakshow converter. I ordered a 2500 stall, but I'm not quite getting 2500 stall. Closer to 2000. Probably should have ordered a 3000...
I have a 700r4 in my '26 T coupe. The lockup is wired so that it automatically locks up as soon as the trans shifts into 4th gear. No brake...
I don't know about the "worrying too much" part. I have managed to live to the ripe old age of 75 years while working in a dangerous occupation...
There is no room to fit a return line into the small hole for the sending unit. I took it out to check. I would still have to whittle on the...
I'm fitting a return line into my gas tank, which doesn't presently have a bung for the return. I have never worked on a used tank before, and I...
That would work. I wouldn't have to disturb the tank in any way. Wouldn't even have to drain it.
I can't use the filler neck. It's too close to the tank. So, I guess you didn't run a tube to the bottom of the tank to avoid static, and you...
Thanks Anthony! I believe that will work. I hadn't thought about that. Is it really a thing? A gas tank would be a bad place for a static...
I built the gas tank for my '26 Ford T coupe from 16-gauge steel. It is 12" tall x 7" wide x 40" long. It sits across the car in the trunk on...
I used those small OD valve seals on my .531" guides. They are a bitch to get off. I had to get destructive to remove them. My dual springs...
I'm ordering valve stem seals for my SBC. I see seals made from Viton and some from PTFE. Is there an application where you would use one but...
This probably won't last long . Check out Coleman Machine in Menominee, MI. They used to carry a screw on wide 5 snout for Impala spindles.
I had the '26 out this morning. Got to the first corner and my turn signals aren't working. Great! No turn signal. no hazards. Fuse is good....
Put engine at TDC and mark the balancer at 0 on the timing tab.
Well, I decided that I wanted a stock covered visor, but every place I tried had the frame on backorder. Same with the cover. I did find an...
Purple Power is good stuff. I use it, too. Just don't let it set it on polished aluminum!
Yes, I know that the cam is probably the single most important piece of the TC puzzle. I had this cam custom ground on a 112 lobe center. It is...
I know that predicting the stall speed of a particular TC when installed on a particular engine is kind of a black art, realizing that a TC will...
I spent the majority of my life going round and round on dirt circles, so I don't have much experience with TCs. I still tend to use go-faster...
I know this question has been asked a million times before, but I gotta ask again. Sorry. My '26 T coupe has a 355 SBC. 10.3:1 CR. Good aluminum...
F From what I see, it is kinda common practice on SBC builds to use 1.6 on the intake and 1.5 on the exhaust
Yes. Now that I have seen the light, the speed of the valve movement is the answer to my original question. Thanks guys! I have been curious...
I hadn't thought about the speed of the valve movement. I can see where that would be an advantage to flow. In this instance the valve would...
