This makes a lot of sense. Why would the aftermarket guys spend the time and effort to make something that used to be modified, or needed a...
It looks like someone went to great lengths to make that one fit;
This thread is almost 20 years old, but I'm still a "Hard NO".
It's like asking a Harley guy what appeal is. 'If you have to ask, you won't understand the answer".
One of the first things I did when I got my '51 in 1987 was to have a set of Fenton cast iron headers and a set of steel-packs installed. Now I...
You can't use DOT 5 brake fluid (silicone-based) with anti-lock brakes because it foams easily when agitated by the ABS pump, creating air bubbles...
I think they made them in Brazil until '61, if my memory serves me right.
This is what a corporation does when they can't afford to "tool-up" for a real station wagon. (And adding a McCulloch supercharger to a...
This belongs in the HEMI Tech- Transmission adapters, flywheels, starters thread.
I actually prefer the '52-'53 models; much better looking. [ATTACH]
DOT-5 is already an orphan. It started as a military only item and spread to the mainstream. Unfortunately, it is incompatible with anti-lock...
All I can add is that a Weiand 4X2 will not accept 94's unless you do some serious trimming on the carbs. 97's will fit.
Make sure they do the block first, before the crank.
A buddy of mine and I were way ahead of those guys in this. Probaby 15 years ago, we tried supercharging his golf cart with a variety of leaf...
One of our more astute members, @Hnstray, has a signature that says : "In any conflict between Physics and Style, Physics always wins”
If it is just a starter motor, I'll have to agree with the "snake oil" assessment. The average automotive starter motor puts out, at most, 2 HP...
It will be interesting to see how this turns out. It looks to me that the motor on it is just a garden variety automotive starter motor (complete...
Wasn't a '55 Chevrolet 12 volts? Even a 6 cylinder pickup.
Ooops forgot that one. Strange, too, as I had one in the '67 Corvette I bought new. It was a $10.00 dealer installed option back than. I probably...
A couple of guys have mentioned them in passing, but for those of us in Minnesota who had to reliably get to work every day, the answer was :...
I believe there are 500 CFM 2G's, but I think they're special racing versions. Years ago I ran in a class that mandated a race-ready spec Holley...
As I've posted before, my dad was an "Oldsmobile Man". He had new Olds's every two years during the fifties, the first couple being a '49 and a...
The Ray Anthony version of the "Dragnet" theme was not the original. The original was called "Danger Ahead". In 1952, we bugged our teacher (who...
When I was in high school, I blew the center main bearing cap on the flathead in my '51 Ford. When I pulled the pan, half of the center cap had...
Did you ever get the rear drum off?
Don't let that scare you away. Do any of you have any idea of the number of good, crack-free flathead blocks that are squirreled away under...
I don't know where you got your information, but it couldn't be more wrong. In '51, ford had the master cylinder under the floor, just like ''49...
I don't know about painting cars, but I guy who worked for me had his wife cut his hair at home. She used a gadget called a "Flo-Bee" that ran off...
What a deal! I've picked up a few things cheap on eBay because of bad descriptions, but this takes the cake!
That one WON'T buff out.
