Here's the same RPU with 5-spokes back in 2023, before we sold it. [ATTACH]
It was cool to meet you at Dragstalgia and check out the car. Here's another shot of you and the Back to the Past rail in the staging lanes ......
Saw this at Dragstagia and it looked and sounded great! Definitely the best race car/tow car combo there.
There is a guy on Youtube that has a technique that might work for you. He basically takes a cloth with semi-dried metallic silver paint and rubs...
Check out this thread about oil being pushed out the trans filler tube on a similar era Mopar and ending up on the passenger side exhaust...
Yeah, here's one. They are in the UK but might be cheaper to ship this than get a special made closer to home ......
This is place I saw yesterday, they say $4 ea up to 5" bore but I don't know any more than that. https://www.ringspacers.com/ringspac.htm
The Hastings part number for .060 272 pistons is 564060, some might come up on ebay if you have time to hunt. You can also get ring spacers to...
There are Sun manuals available for download at this page, but they are listed by model number so can't see if they have the one you need....
This thread still comes up in my Unread Thread list just the same as it always has.
I think the distributor is wired correctly, your friend has just numbered the cylinders wrongly. If you thought the cylinders were numbered 1-4...
Are you near the Canadian border? The Canadian Pontiacs used 261's and they have minor differences to the US versions.
Yep, Vintage Chassis Works axle as already mentioned. Good quality forged axles, tooling was bought by Chassis Engineering and sold under their...
I doubt this one was used traditionally, but it's got a nice old style. It's from a late 50's to early 70's Rolls Royce/Bentley and originally...
I was lucky to buy this Moon tyre gauge that did some time on the UOP Shadow team. It was on a local auction site, previously owned by the late...
It's 19 spline, so I'm assuming Mercury side gears. It has a differential, was in a street car for many years until the axle broke.
Thanks, yeah it turned out to be a NZ piece from an English Ford Zephyr that was common over here. Quite similar to Grand National hubs but...
I was disussing this with a friend and he suggested (English) Ford Zephyr Mark 3 for the housing ends and hubs. Looked into it and it checks out,...
Turns out they are air-bleeds. The carb was cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner and they vibrated loose but pressed back in ok.
This is a Model A gauge cluster that I stretched to make some SW gauges fit nicer. I ended up selling the car I was going to put it on, so...
The carb has a 2347S tag, and is supposed to be for a '56 Buick. @carbking
Good question. They are pretty small, air-bleed sort of size. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
A friend is rebuilding a Carter WCFB that was in pieces, and there are some parts he can't identify from looking at carb diagrams. Does anyone...
Thanks Marty. They are similar, but mine maybe a bit smaller? The area where the bearing sits is only 5/8" wide on my snouts but yours look...
Thanks, race application seems most likely. The setup will keep the wheel on if the axle breaks, which backs that up.
Here's the axle that didn't break ... [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I picked up a V8 quick change rear end last weekend at a swapmeet, and I'm trying to identify the axle housing ends and hubs. They are a floater...
[ATTACH] Here's the event flyer, always a good day!
Yeah, quite a few I reckon. Looking forward to checking Kume's T out at the Dust-up!!
I am using a RHD F100 box in a vintage sprint car project. It was pretty easy to reverse - I followed the instructions on reversing a Saginaw...
