My copy is almost 50 years old, but that information hasn’t changed much, if any! Another reference is Marks’ Standard Handbook of Mechanical...
So a sweet ending for this year. Next year you’ll probably have to get a two layer cake. For the record…
Just repeating what has already been said. Glad you guys are doing okay. And get it back on the road.
I have bins of older fasteners but that supply is dwindling. I’m retired now and I don’t have access to stuff that has quality nuts and bolts that...
Another thing that I like to do is if a bolt is in shear, either single or double, is to make sure that the part of the bolt in shear is not...
Yes, I know. We had those new bolts long before the results of the accident investigation were released. And what prompted me to start this thread...
No, it’s a cobalt alloy, and extremely tough, while also having a very high ultimate strength of 190,000 psi. It had approximately 15% elongation...
[ATTACH] I know we’ve talked about nuts and bolts before, and with the changing times we are living through, I started wondering where everyone...
Nice headlights…
Years ago, there was an article in Stock Car Racing about Schneider, who was quoted by Dr. Dick saying that at that time you could get good used...
Robert Palmer, you got any pictures of Frankie Schneider’s hearse tow vehicle?
7 years between freshen ups. Guess 6 in a row is the way to go…
Now you did it! Showed me what mine could look like! Any possibility you can find a full side picture? Asking for a friend…
Saw quite a few cars I remember seeing from my youth. The Casper Y out of Ed Wynn’s garage, Riska’s Yellow X, Sharkey’s 44, and others. Thanks for...
Yea, I know. But I have a master cylinder that is sized for the disc brake system, and don’t want to buy another one… and it doesn’t fit under the...
A small amount of progress, with pictures. Pictures first. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I pulled the engine out and took the firewall apart to...
Backing it into the turns… blows the flames away.
[ATTACH] This is a cam drive front cover with a Hilborn PG150 pump. The only part that is not showing is the drive spud that bolts onto the...
FYI, on super modified race cars with straight axles, some use R&P steering with the rack mounted to the axle. It moves with the axle so that...
Each time I read through this thread, this pops into my brain: Isn’t the motor the music?
Looking good! Better paint job than I could do.
How did you clear the firewall? I just hacked it out until it cleared everything. Then bought a cheap stamped steel wheelbarrow and used it to...
Hey, I was 18 and had a spare 327 sitting in the garage when I grenaded the F-head 4 banger! Of course I knew better and could swap it into the Jeep.
Now here’s an interesting tidbit of trivia for your next bench racing session, when you have had a couple of adult beverages. Does anyone know...
Back in the 60s, Repco-Brabham sohc V8 formula 1 engines were based on the Buick-Oldsmobile aluminum block, however they were much modified and...
Not a problem! There are probably a few members that would know that, but I’m betting that 90-95% don’t know that there was 4 generations of the...
FYI, this is not a Mk1 shell, which would just make the age cutoff, kind of. The first year was 1959, and the Mk 1 shell was made thru 1967. The...
Yeah, but WWAD? I bet he’d drive it
Just call it a 301, like before Chevy renamed them
I’ll send you a pile of carburetors for you to set up for me, Tim! Might as well benefit from your experience… Maybe I’m crazy, but tuning...
