@Rickybop You da man, thank you sir!! It's a far-in-the-future project, I'm thinking of putting a 413 with a crosss ram and an A-833 into a 57...
Anyone know the overall width of a Chrysler long ram intake setup, with and also without the factory air cleaners? Trying to figure out if they'd...
Since we're probably talking ladder bars...? The fronts of the ladder bars should be mounted at the car's center of gravity. That will change...
I use 1/0 welding cable from the tractor store from the trunk to the inside of the firewall under the dash where I mount the solenoid. Then a...
Sounds like I need to just find the nearest tow companies for the towns I travel through and keep their numbers in the car. I would've thought...
Thanks Squirrel, that's been my approach for the last 10 years, been all over the western states and never ended up permanently stranded. I tend...
I'll look into AAA. I piggybacked off my dad's Good Sam policy once when a heater core expired and I didn't have enough water to fill the radiator...
I used to drive my jalopies all over BFE, in northern Nevada there's literally nothing for 150 miles at a time. Used to not blink an eye taking...
Probably about 2lbs? Maybe a little less. I just charge them until the pressures are right and it's cold...
All three levers are bolted to it. I'm wondering if something just didn't go together right when he put the side cover back on. I'm going to open...
I just traded for another saginaw 4 speed from a friend. He supposedly checked it out and it was a good usable trans. I doubt he would've kept it...
Firestone 6.00-16 whitewalls on 5x4.5 early Plymouth wheels. Full set of 4 whitewalls and a new blackwall spare. Comes with Plymouth hub caps and...
I have a Dewalt 20v one, that thing is the chit. Pumps up the always-flat 7.50-20 on my yard truck in the time it takes to hook up fuel and...
Good reminder of why I left Vegas, only three brain cells left in the whole city...
Safe travels and thanks for the pics!
Pedal feel is based on a lot more than disc vs drum. Drive any 80s Ford with their ridiculously overboosted power disc brakes and tell me they are...
This is another area where people don't use their brains. It's not a simple "one is better than the other". It has absolutely nothing to do with...
Did the bearing spin in what was left of the big end? Or wrist pin get tight? Crazy thing with my buddy's motor was the big end completely left...
Can always tell a traditional east coast hot rod by the motorcycle fenders, they can look pretty good. Kind of an 'in-between' look and satisfies...
My buddy bought a truck once that had a "big oil leak out of the blue one day", didn't see any holes anywhere so we towed it to my shop and...
I've always scrounged and driven beaters, if I can't haul the mail down a dirt road with it then I don't want it. I will say though, to me I get...
Anyone have old pictures of first generation Mustangs when they were regular daily drivers? Not necessarily stock but not quite 'street machines'....
Yes I was going to call them for info but Holley shut down the brand not too long ago. I see parts come up for sale but need to know how to ID...
I've been halfass looking for a mechanical injection setup for a SBC for awhile. Is there a catalog I could download somewhere that has specs on...
Yep if there was ever a "how creepy can we get" thread, this would be it.
The Ramchargers did a 4 link on the High and Mighty ~1958, I think it was one the first DRAG cars to use an actual 4 link.
I'd like to find an sfi pressure plate. Have a lakewood scattershield and billet sfi flywheel already. Just haven't picked one yet so was going to...
The small block won't be making more than 400hp. I've always been paranoid about breaking hard to find parts so I don't normally dump the clutch...
I never think of the simple solutions LOL
