It's all because Malcolm lives here. DUH!!
I hope you coated every inch of that badass car with WD-40, buddy! You know how the salt is...
I spent most of my money on fast cars and fast women. The rest.... I just wasted. Converting Cash Into Noise Since 1975 I got a racecar for...
Could be a dozen things causing that. Is it a fresh rebuild? New carb? Need a little background..... Possibilities: Vacuum leak, idle mixture...
Pick up any car mag from the early to mid 60's with a JC Whitney ad in it...they're full of those! To me, it looks like the forerunner of today's...
He did. Foot/Pounds per minute, or torque over time. And Gotgas nailed it in terms of engines and dynos.
Yeah, they're $85 each...the average Cometic looks to be in the $90s each. I went colder on the plugs awhile back with no results. The water...
Well guys, sorry for wasting your time...after I looked closer at the gaskets, I see that the holes are actually there. As for the quench, I gave...
It's a street motor...I've got 5 summers on it. Changed to the MLS gasket (.061") to try and lower the compression a bit so I don't have to shut...
Bore size is 4.200, my cylinders are 4.155. Not a problem there, I just hate to put a drill to the $85 gasket without being sure! :confused:
I just bought a set of Fel-Pro MLS h.g.'s for my 406, and noticed that they don't have the steam holes. Can I drill 'em, or will it ruin the gaskets?
This one gets my vote!! Followed closely by, "My Finger Smells Like Gear Lube" from Monsterflake!
I thought the same thing as oj... if you have 17" of vac. at idle, then your 3.5 power valve is 13.5" away from entering the discussion. Unless,...
That looks exactly like both quarters on my OT 68 Camaro when I started tearing it apart. My favorite removal method? 2 lb hand sledge!
Nick and Gary...thank you for this:
Or did the motor and/or tranny mounts break sometime before this happened, which can and does cause the throttle to bind?
Great car. I really like those plug wire looms...where'd ya get 'em?
Thought I wasn't going to post these, but if Bangkok can put up that Vette, then what's the harm? Same crap for me this year. Need to finish the...
Funny you should ask; I just took my 66 Nova down after it lived on the rotisserie for the last 4 years! It's a homebuilt contraption I bought...
Saw a few of these pics from Bucky's on this thread, but there are waaaaay more. Not just frames, but lotsa parts too!!...
Same thing here in Omaha...I have a crew of 6 fitters and enough work to keep 'em busy till at least April. If I need more guys, good luck! Only...
Can't imagine why they didn't publish this one back in '44??? ;) [IMG]
They help "bridge the gap" between the idle circuit and the main circuit. They open at a certain vacuum level, which is the number stamped on the...
Malcolm - This is the car / buddy I was telling you about awhile back...they were trying to get it done to take out to World of Speed to do the...
There's a stretch of it still open here in Omaha that's paved with brick.
Malcolm - Here's a little inspiration for ya.... This thing has YOU written all over it!!!
Great thread, fellas! I don't know if any of you were at Bonneville for World of Speed this year, but those of us that were there got a real...
Raised a little red flag in my feeble brain...did you use an externally-balanced 400 crank in this 383? If so, you would need the 400 flexplate...
You guys are still talking big cubic inches...I was reading the Nov. 69 Hot Rod the other day (Bonneville coverage) and read a photo caption about...
Almost soiled myself, Gary!!!!!
