Just my 2 cents but be careful with that old used regulator. Last year my old regulator failed and it took out my generator, boiled the water out...
Thanks for all your help Jim. We all appreciate it. Have a great day.
I currently have the same linkage on my carbs. Jon brings up a good point. On this linkage the secondary carb pivot balls that are installed on...
Hey, your car is beautiful either way, but I am biased to the steel wheels. Hope good health returns to you soon and I'm pulling for you...and...
Ha ha...Spending most of my life on old harleys I use loctite mainly on fasteners that I believe will see more vibration on my car. I very rarely...
@lostone have you tried twisting the pertronix module wires all the way to the coil, and using a dedicated ground back to the battery negative post?
For what it's worth I have been running my Pertronix Ignitor II system with an old Delco 32A generator for almost two decades. I will say that I...
All of the above are good recommendations. The only thing I'll add is if the easy checks don't solve your problem then disassemble the entire...
I smoked a Pertronix Ignitor I module by leaving the key on while troubleshooting a carb issue long ago. Switched over to the Pertronix Ignitor...
Happy birthday and enjoy your new toy. Looks great.
Gawd that is nice!!! Congrats to you and have fun.
Wait! So most of the trans fluid got sucked into the engine and burned off???
Got the balancer back from Damper Dudes. They did a super job. I sent them the balancer minus the timing ring because it looked damaged to me....
Yep Paul you were close it is a minimum ~2.2" to remove from the crankshaft...and it was a light press fit. Easy off with the puller. Lifted the...
Yes it looks like that thick section is cast into the unit. I'm just going to check the balance before and after to see if there is any change....
You know I think I'm going to check the balance before and after. Thanks for the tip.
No hammering. My neighbor has a shop and I will be using his 3-jaw puller. Some years ago I had a little bit of oil seeping out from under the...
OK guys thanks for your input I really do appreciate it. Based on your input I figured it would be easier, safer, and a whole lot less swearing...
Hey all! I need to remove the balancer off my 1957 371 motor to have it rebuilt. As shown in the pic I have about 3/4" space before it would hit...
Eighteen years with Dot 5 in my avatar car, drum brakes all around. Like some have already said slow pumps on the pedal when bleeding. I use...
I know this is an old post, but I have one of those red top canister filters. I ordered the replacement filter from Jegs and received the filter...
Wow what a nice intake!!! Hey Joe thanks for the eye candy and how it works. Is that a factory stock setup???
Thanks all for your suggestions. I have a lot to work with here.
It's hard to trust anything new these days. I do my best to check form, fit, and function before I install. I use AC/Delco on the hot rod with...
Thanks Jnaki! I never gave the vacuum system any consideration. I do have some documentation here similar to what you posted. I'll spend some...
Nice setup. Looks robust. Are the brass blocks bearing blocks or just bored for the rods?
Kevin Ardinger said: "So because of those cheesy aftermarket linkages I made mine. Works great but it does require another return spring for the...
Yes I do have a double return spring on the primary (on the other side), and the small stock circular return springs on the secondaries. I will...
Hey all, So I've been running the linkage shown in the pic for about 18 years now. It's worked ok...except for a couple of times. A long time...
In my 32 5W. Made with some scrap wood laying around... [ATTACH]
