Just saw this thread from years ago, read a lot of posts without knowing what car was being discussed, and was shocked to finally see the car on...
Sorry I can't help, but too bad you didn't take a pic of whichever icon signed it while he was sitting in your car. I probably wouldn't think of...
Wow. So many beautiful customs. Haven't been to shows since the 90s (family, work), and it's nice to see so many cars I remember from KKOA shows...
Are 292s hard to find in your area?
I would never see your car, because I don't go to Camaro and Mustang type events. Beautiful car.
Everything I do at work is metric. Been that way for my 49 years there. With only 1 or 2 exceptions. Everything I play with in my garage is...
BTTT. 2 401s, 2 Turbo 400 Switch Pitch transmissions, Edelbrock 6X2, rear sump pan, plus more.
Called Offy yesterday, spoke to Vince, asked my usual dumb questions. My questions were so dumb, he didn't give me an answer, we talked about...
Decided to sell all my nailhead stuff, and concentrate on my Y-blocks. There's another 401, less complete, condition unknown, but also has a...
Outstanding! Beautiful work! Loved that car before you "ruined" it, love it even more since then! More pics would be fine, too.
Teeth are so boring..... Seen one, seen 'em all. Offers?
The phrase was " Never trust anyone OVER 30".
Thanks for the replies, folks. Still looking for one with a 1" end, but 5/8 may be my best current option. But now I realize that the 3/8 end is...
Swade, that would work if it was 3/8" pipe. Don't want to drill the cast manifolds any larger. Thanks. EDIT. My understanding is that the outside...
[ATTACH] Many thanks to the HAMBers who told me last week what size the water inlets are on my 6x2. Now, another question...... Found a fitting on...
Have you converted any of your neighbors over to the dark side, or do they think you're nuts?
Outstanding! Looks great so far. I like what you're doing.
Thanks for the help. I'll try that. Appreciate it, guys!
Trying to begin to get my ducks in a row, or at least in the same time zone. I'm determined to use this 6x2 on my Y-block, and got to looking at...
Same thing happened to me in the 90s. Gold is a damn good conductor. Had a jeweler cut off my ring the next day after my hand looked like the...
If bleeding makes it yours, I should claim a tax deduction on every one of my cars as a dependent
Remember a lot of cars like Rich B said. Got used to that look when I was a kid in the 60s, looks OK now, on the right car.
Pulled up ugly wall to wall carpet in my whole house 20 years ago. Used a ton of mineral spirits and scotchbrite pads to clean all the glue and...
When (if) my Merc is ever on the road, the reaction I'm after is disbelief. At a KKOA show in the 80s, sitting on a fence in the fairgrounds...
cool car.......canted quads!
My .02 cents, and worth even less than that. Owning my own business means I've worked every Saturday since 1976, so I've always thought Ebay was...
Acetylene, lacquer, bondo, junkyard car smell. Have a buddy that painted a lot of choppers in the 70s, hung out in his shop a lot. We always...
Got a 401 with a SP turbo 400 in the classifieds for sale. As soon as I can take a pic, I'm going to offer an Edelbrock 6x2 intake with it for...
Octane, Baby!
For big stuff, I've done best with a torque spec of PFT.
