Howdy. This is probably a dumb question, but I'm not smart enough to figure out the transverse sprung geometry with relation to the front radius...
That is very important and helpful information; thanks very much! I've got a nice, complete and original 3352s on the way to me with the A/C...
I think I have a line on a rebuildable 3352s. Was there originally a spacer between the carb and manifold, or does it bolt directly to the manifold?
Unfortunately, I don't have the original Carter, otherwise I'd use it. I do have another Edelbrock 650 CFM I could put on there. But I guess the...
Howdy. Stock 390 with a stock '62 Caddy intake. Trying to run an Edelbrock Carter-style carb, I want to say it's 500 cfm. Idles rough and...
I’ll check that out. I have a very healthy respect for springs since I crushed my left hand in a strut press when I was 19. Back when auto parts...
Thanks! That’s exactly the information I needed!
I need to replace the shackle bushings on my ride. The axle is hanging free — no shocks, no driveshaft, brake line tee disconnected (see pic...
5/8" heim swivel bore, 5/8" shackle/bracket bore, 5/8" tie rod shoulder
Howdy. The rear radius arms on my roadster originally had a front heim joint on either side and I am replacing them with tie-rod ends. I can see...
All getting replaced.
It told me. Loud and clear. Tie rod end joint is going in.
Yes, it's the AHH-OOO-GA horn. It's stupid. Replaced with a real horn.
Yes. :( See my reply to RichB.
Thanks, I really appreciate the help. The car has the same front-end setup as you described above -- clevis on the axle and heim on the frame....
Because I'm dealing with the rear hairpins right now, which got bent under load and now I've got a torn up diff, driveshaft and trans tail. I've...
I have no idea. It's a steel body '27 bucket. The weight on the title might be made up for all I know.
Maybe I missed something in this post, but I'm curious as to stress on the axle/frame mounts. I have a Super Bell front axle with clevis joints....
My daughter is a metalworker. I'll have her straighten these and weld in some gussets. Replace the front heim joint with a neoprene bushing? The...
Thanks for all the input. I just assumed the hairpins were designed that way, as they are equal in their arch. Moriarity pointed out that it does...
There are heim joints on all three connections, which, after reading some posts on here, doesn't seem advisable at least from a ride standpoint --...
Just eyeballing I can tell there are more than 3 to 6 degrees of difference between the yoke and trans.
The hairpins are both bent like that, and it was that way when I got it. They are equally shaped that way. As this is my first street rod, I...
It does not. The difference in angle is more than several degrees.
BTW, here's a picture of my ride, if'n you're curious.[ATTACH]
Howdy. I threw the driveshaft out of my '27 "TruckBucket". Turns out the rear pinion bearing went south and wobbled around enough that the...
There's some kind of rattle/buzzing sound when cold. I think it's coming from the tranny, but I don't know for sure. Shifts OK, a little flare...
No one in Austin knows how to work on Hydramatics?
Anyone? Thanks.
