Beautiful job. How about a video so we can hear how nice it sounds
I’m jealous. Very jealous. They look great.
I’m getting .350 on a fairly new steel installation tool. The threads are cut deeper. It’s hard to get a good read on the diameter at the base of...
It’s very possible. I've always been a fan.
I have been using there gear oil in my Muncie. It says safe for white metal on the bottle. Been very happy with it and would use the engine as well.
It sounds like a very late model vehicle. It most likely had synthetic from the factory.
I have an older 211 and like it.I believe the newer ones are lighter and wish mine was. I am a professional welder with 2 Syncrowaves 2 MM200 and...
I agree that Marvel Mystery oil could loosen a stuck valve and I wouldn’t hesitate to try it but if the valve face and seat are burnt or pounded...
I have tried it yet but plan to the next time I have a project that requires this type of work. It’s Esabs EZ grind mig wire. It’s softer and as...
I’ve been using the Driven GL-4. Says safe for all white metals on the bottle. Not sure on availability.
Looked like a great time. Nice cars. Where’s the pics of the tastefully dressed ladies ?
There’s compression calculators on line you can put your numbers in and get an idea of what you will have. I have a set of 1556157 331 heads that...
Just out of curiosity are you using a remote filter mount? I had an issue years ago with that same filter was used on a remote setup and the hoses...
Looks like a decent ridge also. Most likely needed to be bordered anyway. But I agree that from the pic it should clean up.
I purchased a dash from them a couple years ago and did it online with a credit card. Parts showed up no problem but I got a bill from them a few...
Another consideration is the visual aspect of the build. I personally don’t care for the look of a 4 bar on an open car even though as mentioned...
I don’t have a definite answer but I feel that if you couldn’t fine any info here it doesn’t exist. I believe most guys build there own.
I wouldn’t be afraid to run it. And this may raise some eyebrows but it’s a standard procedure in some circles but take the bearing out of the cap...
Quick internet search says P-k could be Parker-Kalon which was or is a fastener. Manufacturer. I have a 276 Desoto that was original and I don’t...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] First pic is centered. Second pic you can see the vertical bead is slightly forward and the wheel is not centered that well.

I am a full time wrench and GM has discontinued certain common parts for vehicles that are 10 years old. Don’t think I would have considered them...
Wow. I think the next time I have to register something I’ll be taking the 10 hour ride to Buffalo.
Forgot about the 470. Always wanted to put one in something other than a boat. And they all had closed cooling systems.
Year of boat and pics would be a big help. But the first thing is the cooling system. I see your in Wyoming so I’m assuming it’s spent it’s time...
FWIW I have a Miller 211. It’s 110/220v it’s the model rite before they went inverter. I have run it with a Northern Tool 5500 watt generator and...
