Now I have broke in the engine over around 1000 km and it runs like a dream! It runs best around 100 km/hour. The only caveat is that it runs a...
Thanks, it is still an interesting question. For me it was more convenient at the time, I got a good price and I also had to bail out the restored...
Well @jnr49 , the question about re-sizing a 249 to 268 is still to be answered as I all of a sudden was offered to buy a .030 oversized 268 with...
Never heard of them, will check it out. Thanks @sunbeam! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
[IMG] One rainy day in June 2016 on Omberg, near the town Vadstena, Sweden. Fellow Dukes and hamb member Orn in his '48 Olds bomb nearest in front...
@jnr49, I will report when I get to it. It might take some time though, since I have more things to look at (rust, interior, suspension) and also...
@RichFox, you got a valid point. @Rusty, if I can't get modern-styled 268" Pistons, I got two donator engines. I think I go for it, "no one...
Hi all, I have a question for the Pontiac flathead guys; Do any of you have knowledge of how much a 249" can be bored without risking damage? I...
So that beautiful'42 Streamliner is yours, @40two? Really good looking car! This years OSW was great, don't you think? Here's another shot from a...
[ATTACH] Countryside cruising earlier this year.
It has been a good, hot summer in Sweden. Ol' Poncho on it's way in Dalsland.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It's been done before, so I will look on different solutions. Too bad there wasn't an overdrive offered from Pontiac at the time. A friend of mine...
That sounds more or less just like my idea of how it could be done. Richfox, the two lower bolts will be placed below the edge of the...
Brizo, I would like to get a manual three-speed Chevy trans with overdrive on my 1947 Poncho with a 1953 engine. I am very interested in some...
TonyVoltron, I am also looking for options to get my Poncho closer to the ground, and read some threads on the subject including Fatman uprights....
Problem solved, got the cable I ordered for a '54 chevy and it fits just fine. Funny thing; The instrument cluster in these old ponchos are...
Thank you guys, you are great! I thought they looked similar but I wanted a second opinion. I can get one for a '54 Chevy from a company in Sweden...
Small issue: My speedo cable is no more, and finding parts for older vehicles than 1955 is hard in Sweden (especially for other brands than Ford...
This one... My daily driver back in the late eighties. http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/ag39/jannekrille/54/54stock_zpse9829ddc.png After an...
Since you are from Finland, can it be a Swedish engine? Volvo EC?
My '47 Streamliner came to Sweden from Colorado in 2008. I got insurance papers and repair bills back from '63, the same owner the whole time. I...
This one popped up before me on Old Style Weekend in Uddevalla, Sweden this year. Not a hood ornament really, but still a helluva cool handmade piece!
Follow jom's link to decode it, it basically shows what you already know. I thought it might show what transmission too, since this was the first...
Style No 48=year, 28=Streamliner with the straight 8, 07=Two door sedan, D=Not sure, something specific for 1948 models. Body No P22929 tells the...
My ol' poncho from 1947, have replaced the straight six with a straight eight. Keeping the three-speed for now, looking for a newer third member...
That's good news. Now I can go on working with it, knowing that the carb is in fact useable for my engine. I made the same assumption, but with...
The number on the metering rods is 75 664. I tried to find the numbers at the bottom of the base using strong light and a magnifying glass without...
I found a good explanation over the differences in another thread, post no.4 by Curly: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=499631...
Looks pretty much like mine. I took out the plugs today, it seem to be running too lean, kinda light-coloured. I will take the carb apart gently,...
