Just saw this myself the other day and it was news to me as well. I was a student of Hot Rod and other car publications but don't recall it being...
Check your local NAPA store. I used to stock an assortment of sizes. They were listed in the United Brake Parts "picture book" by size. Don't know...
Very cool. Like stepping back in time for a few moments. Thanks for opening this window in time to help remind us of how it was. More of this, please.
I look at Gray as the one and true Hot Rod God. Irrepressible and irreplaceable.
The first thing I read on the HAMB was a thread Groucho was heavily involved in and featured some great street racing stories. Been coming here...
Remember, it's been sitting for a couple years now. Are you sure the battery is up to snuff? Low voltage might spin the starter but not pull the...
BBC for the win. Just ask Squirrel. That 396/t5 combo would really motorvate that very nice 56. Kudos!
[IMG] Differential cooler pump. Runs lube through a heat exchanger. This pic is an OT sports car. [IMG] Seems like I've seen these on NASCAR...
Amazon sells it, just got black VHT primer and paint, think they also have white.
Most of the new sleds run 600-800 pounds plus any gear. Probably 4-5000 pounds for 6 sleds. They are way heavier than they were in my younger days...
You haven't mentioned the specs on your tow vehicle. I retired from the service department of a large powersports dealership. They sold a lot of...
Just a guess, but maybe was installed on a printing press so the printers knew how long it was going to take to print out a job. Could be driven...
You will want to coat it with something that will encapsulate the stuff they use in the new treating process. It consists of a lot of salts that...
Have you considered a Fiero drivetrain? It's already set up for rear mounting. Might be a little wide but that's what they make fender flares for!...
My Army buddy back in 75 had a 72 Duster 340 4spd with Edelbrock intake, Holley 4bbl and headers. B-body-Bob ain't lyin'. One of the fastest small...
Could also be a pinhole in the line. A hole so small it will barely seep will kill the vacuum from the pump. Just try drinking through a straw...
I have an isolator new in box. Was going to install on pickup camper but traded for motorhome before I got it installed. PM me if interested.
Also have an old Souix that looks the same passed down from my dad, still in good shape. I've done a lot of work with it, but it's kinda...
Looks like the miter scale on a Skil saw. Usually they will only go 15 or so degrees one way and a larger amount in the opposite direction. Most...
The small impact screwdrivers are made to use with these or screwdriver bits. Way better than a cordless drill. Got a cheap one at Harbor Freight...
Hardly used my 3 speed handles since getting cordless impacts.
Do you have this one? It's a steal! Thought you might find this entertaining. [ATTACH]
When I was in the parts business I sold a lot of Victor (NAPA) graphite SBC Ex manifold gaskets. Steel core with a thick layer of graphite on both...
It was called the Antarctic Snow Cruiser, built in the late 1930's to explore Antarctica. When they got it there, they discovered the slick tires...
What they look like: [IMG] These come in sets. You match up the ones you need to equal the rod/piston weights and they clamp to the crank.
You can reuse the old one, but keep in mind that it is a common failure point. If you don't mind pulling it again, go for it. Are you sure that a...
The rods will be in balance with each other, but not with the crank, if that's what you mean. When a crank is balanced, the bobweights are...
I got an ozone generator that is big enough to do a 400 sq ft room in an hour. Really works, eliminates any residual odor. You can't be in the...
12v Cummins makes 400-440 ft lbs. Highest torque for Pontiac straight 8 was 220 ft lbs. Think about it.
Yes, commissioned by Canadian snowmobile manufacturer Alouette. This was a one-off sled built for show and exhibition. The snowmobile industry was...
