I can't believe all the "throw a SB in it". At least pull it out, tear it down, and see how bad the block is. Cranks are out there, blocks not...
How about this one? 4" HGR Vacuum Switch [400249] - Surplus Center
An AOD has a .67 overdrive so take any ratio you had with non-OD and divide by .67. So if you liked 2.73s for cruising with a 1:1 transmission,...
I had a marker light once that had lost it's glass bulb shell somehow and blew, but under a certain set of circumstances a piece of filament would...
You can do 2-speed fan control pretty cheaply. All OT parts but pretty readily available in pick-and-pull yards. Various 92-04 Volvos have a...
Here is an '00 Contour dual 2-speed fan setup on a '69 Mustang radiator with 16x24 core. That size radiator could probably be used in a bunch of...
The most important thing with a fan, whether it be mechanical or electric, is that the core is covered and the ends are close. If all the air...
327 is arguably one of the greatest engines of all time. I have some OT stuff that I like, but I would NEVER put an LS in a '63 Impala. Fix the...
I like to buy a clunker or stalled project. The older I get, the less I like dealing with rust so I will pay up some to deal with less of that....
OT '70s Cadillac tilt and tele.
I put one on a customer truck 20+ years ago. As far as I know he is still driving it. Did have to put kingpins in it because they were shot and...
12V is less amperage on 6V wiring so that is not an issue. Dennis Carpenter shows to have an NOS switch for that application for $75. Strange...

Is the linkage binding on anything?
[ATTACH] We moved from Nashville area to Chattanooga 20 years ago. I bought a $3000 cartage grade 40' trailer and put all my shop stuff that the...
Boyd Welding will build custom aluminum fuel tanks. I looked into having a custom made tank for my tractor with 8BA flathead. But it turned out...
I have a single cylinder Maytag 92 that until 2 years ago had never left the family farm that my dad grew up on since the mid '40s. It now powers...
3G do not require computer signals. I used one on a slightly OT '66 Mustang once and it worked great. It would work here except the large case...
OK. The '90-93 Festiva alternator looks close/similar to a '91-96 Escort alternator. Appears to wire like a 3G. I'm going to check out the...
It is wired like a car with a regular ignition switch so exciter voltage is no problem. I would like to stay internal regulator if possible to...
I asked this on the Ford Barn but not much success yet. Perhaps there is someone on here that has done it. I have an 8BA in a 2N Ford tractor....
I used to go to the Nashville AACA meet in February and sell pretty regularly since the mid 90s'. I did not go back this year. The last few...
I don't think it can. 4-door bench I imagine. And what you meant was that you bought a seat from an '87 Caprice to go in your HAMB appropriate...
1940 Oldsmobile 2 door business coupe. Barn fresh! Been stored inside for years and is extremely solid and original. Doors,trunk,hood open nice...
I have no association with this but seems like somebody might be interested. Looks to be in great shape and original-but not so nice it couldn't...
You are probably aware of this but be sure that the flywheel you get is for an 8BA with 10” clutch (not an earlier V8). The easiest way to tell...
The battery in a boost box is pretty small but I have never seen one used as a primary battery.
I had a '64 Impala that started life as a 3 on the tree but then converted to Muncie 4-sp. I thought the 3 speed, 4 speed, and PowerGlides were...
ECCO EW2461 Amazon.com: ECCO EW2461 Portable Wireless Rechargeable Magnetic LED Flood Work Light : Automotive
I put an AOD in an early Mustang. All the AOD mounts were too tall. I used a C4 mount for early Mustang and it was a lot shorter. I think I had...
