GM used Guide lights during that period, so I'm sure Guide or BLC trim rings will fit. They fit my 37 poncho lights fine
I've got some parts I'd like to get hauled to the track, or even better to Indianapolis Indiana Sometime this summer. Thanks.
I prefer the old 1750 RPM units. The modern 3400 RPM things will wear out twice as fast, create more heat and condensation in the tank.
Craigs list...auctions...never have bought a new compressor. Built the one I have now for darn near free. 80 gal lp tank, (thicker...never...
Throw out bearings are not designed to run all the time, they need clearance or they will wear out faster than the clutch life. About an inch of...
Very cool little truck!
I've posted this before, but I have the flywheel @big duece shows, with the blob cut off and 9" in my avatar 34. This was done from info from the...
you really don't know what you have until its sand blasted. The valve stem hole looks good and often times thats the first sign of a junk wheel.
So, you have a truck flywheel. You could use it, but the whole assembly is heavier, and hard on the left leg. Have it drilled for a 10", or...

The back wall of those tubs are really wimpy, and get all the strength from the wood. Cutting the plastic in half to ship it would make it...
I've also been known to open things that say "no user serviceable parts inside"
Yeah, I took the tag off a mattress one time, and I've had a hard time sleeping ever since. You guys are getting your undies in a bunch over...
I've seen those exact rivits for sale over at the FTE site. I don't think removing them is a crime, changing them is a crime.
Out at the car museum in murdo sd the cars all have boxes of mothballs in them that are all chewed up from the mice eating the shit

Great project. Looks like Charle is hiding a 40 Ford coupe from us.
81's were especially popular for running dual carbs on a banger. dual 97s...a bit much. In your case one 97 will work, but one 81 will work too.
I did like F head. Those boards for glass fuses are on ebay cheap.
Handle from a gas oven, or refrigerator
