Yes. I have no idea how to do that right now. But I’ll look at it when the weather makes garage time possible again.
My 37 has an M2 from a ‘74 donor. When I got it, it had what were probably stock springs, with cut coils, and “oops we went to far” rubber coil...
The crossmember is widened 1 1/2”. The disc brake kit moves the wheels out an additional 1 1/2”. So the track width is 3” wider than a stock M2....
That’s basically what I’m getting at. The suspension is designed for a track width, and to have the wheels each follow the correct path through a...
I’m running the black side out, don’t care about them having whitewalls. Not stuck on the size, or brand. These are what the tire shop recommended...
This is good, and a good practice, but it assumes that the previous guy that worked on it did it correctly. You may have just repeated a previous...
It bugged me not being able to find my notes, so I looked for inner tie rod end info. I think the difference I ran in to is that all of the...
Tires are Hankook Optimo H724. P195/75R4. Installed June 2017, at 69,435, today they’re at 98,824 miles. The inner tie rods I could get were all...
If it came with an o ring, it’s designed to seal with an o ring. Use that, not the gasket.
Best way I can think of is to build a set of sacrificial zoomies. Match your real design, but in plane I coated steel. Put a bung in each one so...
I didn’t. Bought the car with it this way. I assume it was done to better the track width and wheel position in the fenders where they wanted.
I’m running the tires at 32 PSI. Max cold PSI is 35, IIRC. The steering rack is manual, it and the inner tie rod ends are a couple of years old....
The comments do not make him look bad. The pictures of the work are what is doing that.
Last time, we went with YMM of the donor. That may or may not be close enough, but YMM of the car (37 Chevy, no longer with knee action front end,...
Tires have uneven wear. I’ll get new ones in the spring. Toe was correct at the last alignment, a couple of years ago. Will need an alignment...
Under my 37 Chevy is a real Mustang II front suspension. The donor from back in the day: [ATTACH] From what I can find, the stock width of a MII...
You’re not going to get there with a resistor. Best answer is changing the sender to match the gauge. Possibly OT here, but I have one of these...
Damn. While that damage sucks, it is just sheet metal and can be fixed. Whoever fired it needs to learn some proper safety, though.
Fill and pressure test with nitrogen. Then when you think you’ve fixed all the leaks, vac it down and use the real refrigerant.
Nice looking 70s T bucket. You might also try the Lost Muscle Cars page on FaceBook.
Not racing. It’s a street car. I was leaning toward rubber, this confirms it. Thanks.
I have a Mustang II front suspension (real, 1974 Ford, not aftermarket) that probably has 100K+ miles on it and original 1974 bushings. I’m...
I had a bad power valve on a Holley 4 barrel last year. Would idle fine, but backfired and bucked like crazy under any load or acceleration....
[ATTACH] Only a couple days left in the driving season, so I’m putting on as many miles as I can. Here is the road in to Starved Rock state...
[ATTACH] Sam’s drive-in in Byron IL before they tear it down.
I'm not sure if this one is causing problems. I got looking at it because it sometimes feels like the carb isn’t returning all the way when the...
Probably should have done this in the first post. Here’s what I have now. [ATTACH] Firewall to carb bracket is about 7”. Cable is a few inches...
Non-stock application (SBC in 37 Chevy) that has about 7” from firewall to carburetor throttle cable bracket. Right now what’s on there has a...
Anything can fail. Could be the RP valve. Could be the brake line.
I believe it can be wired this way. I don’t know if there are any OEM applications that do so. You’d bypass or eliminate the 4th gear switch, and...
