Looks like special order
I like the idea of a fan with a clutch. Came from the factory on many cars. Got room?
You look like one happy car guy! Have fun!
Looks like a pushrod to me and I would probably just use spray can silver rustoleum.
https://spicerparts.com/calculators/transmission-ratio-rpm-calculator I have been using this one today and plugging in .67 into the transmission...
Your chart does not take into acccount that the AOD trans has a .67 overdrive ratio. The chart assumes transmission is 1:1 final drive.
I am not there yet, but planning on 3:80’s for my 302/AOD in my 56. Look at the reviews for this set at Summit. Seems like 3:73 was about perfect...
I used to refer to my work as “blacksmithing” but realized a blacksmith might take offense!
If a man can make his Father or Grandfather proud, that is high praise indeed !

At the risk of humiliation I am posting my country boy ways of making sheet metal take a shape to match my hood that I’m trying to save. About 5...
Some places just aren’t accessible like this door. You can use them for shrinking too. [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
Took ownership of a IH gas tractor that knocked. I used it and used it some more waiting for it to blow up. I put seafoam in it and discovered it...
So sorry, is it hard to find shoes that fit?
My guess is nose of hood needs to go down or cowl up.
looks better! I know nothing about that brand but my front end on my 56 ford is supported right in the middle and, when enough bolts are loose...
No, you’re not being too fussy. I’m thinking the fender needs to move to match the hood. What I’ve learned from mine is the front of the fender...
Exhaust looks super deluxe!

All I did was look for 49105 (that you provided) and this came up. Really don’t know anymore.

Did you use someone near Dallas to do your chrome ?
I slotted the holes on a chevy truck I have and have had no problems. The drum is registerd on the axle flange.
Go back and take a second look at post #44. Clean and simple.
based on your photo-(not the best), looks like it needs more than just paint. But I think it is a great looking car. I would drive it as is and be...
I use Nason epoxy primer available locally. I only buy it in quart size as it is easier to handle and mix. If you use the marked mixing cups you...
I have this one with their poppers. A little pricey but should work with your poppers. A lot simpler than what you have....
Not sure, but I don’t think you need a relay between your transmitter and the popper. Your button needs to control the relay but I think the...
I guess my instructions were clear as mud .:(
