Check your impact sockets, as many are flank drive. Valve lapping compound can also be used to fill the corners of a conventional hex wrench or...
Making a comeback? Possibly, but not for me. I spent more money trying to find a good flathead block than I spent on the entire engine, trans...

Merry Christmas fellers and felletts. You hoodlums try to stay out of jail this Christmas:rolleyes:
Got what I wanted the other day. New roofs on the garage, shop and outbuilding. Continuous gutters are scheduled for today. On second thought,...
Yeah...now find a rear fender for a jail bar pickup:(
I had a '54 with the factory powerglide and 235 in high school. I took it to the track once. It did the quarter in exactly thirty seconds flat....
AGM type batteries aren't able to shunt all transient energy as well as a typical lead acid type, due to their low internal resistance.
^ I understand. I was addressing JD Miller, concerning the other trucks mentioned in his post.

Not much available for the '42-'47 Jailbar pickups anymore, making any parts for them desirable to those that own them. 1948 was the first year...
Center supports are one thing, the snout for it is another. They break with any power...I've found:oops:
For clamping shackles up to spring eye pins, no problem, but strictly for spring eye bolts, I wouldn't trust them. Titanium can be polished up all...
Providing the rocker orientation is correct, there is a difference between the '40 and '41 and later engines, is it possible the lower pushrod...
I've made fitted shrouds to get around this problem...have one in my heap. Not a fan of elect. fanso_O
Titanium comes to mind. Easy to find and really cheap...:D
I have a Vevor KSTH-40, 10 liter. Bought it for doing carbs. It's plenty big enough to fit a four barrel carb and it works great. Highly...
Dual 2-1/2" Vibrant Performance Street Power stainless, headers, no crossover, plumbed out the back. Mufflers mounted forward of the hump pipes...
The new setup should have a provision for a pressure switch on the distribution block.
Seems if the wheel isn't rubbing on something then it may be contorting the drum, enough to cause it to bind up the brakes or contact with the...
Only benefit I can see to hot tanking is the removal of rust scale inside the coolant passages in the block and gunk inside the oil passages. If...
I've never used anything but MMO in my stuff. The term fuel stabilizer seems to mean it's capable of integrating any water into the fuel, so the...
Hmm...interesting. Hope you can get it rectified.
I can't think of any acid that won't affect the older plastic in some way. Toothpaste works well for cleaning plastic.
I got nuthin, because you guys are displaying or storing all my cool stuff. I really appreciate that, only so much room here.:cool:
Strange how this showed up after having driven the car a few times. Wonder if someone had used some quick fix sealer in the coolant system and...
Zerk fittings on the spindle caps...of course;)
Mine is a Wellsle. My two daughters bought it for me as a gift a few years ago, after hearing me wine about condensation. I only need it in the...
I did the same with the ceramic block resistors for my six volt heater. I used two resistors wired in parallel, so they wouldn't get smoking hot,...
These are adjustable and with normally open or closed contacts:...
