Suspect ground(s). Clean and is ground grounded?
Eureka! I've always suspected it but now I am absolutely sure! After messing with old cars and hot rods my entire life (8 decades plus) and...
Walker FX or quietflow works nicely, have had 'em on two of mine and love 'em. Can thank straights, headers, straight thru muffs, and just...
I did a 40 chevy coupe with rubber i got from either home depot or Lowe's. It came in a huge roll, had to just tell 'em how much i wanted so it...
Health forced me out of rodding a year ago, sold cars, in process of selling/disposing of tools. Honestly I've enjoyed just having the evenings,...
Was at an event and this old dude had a sign that said pinstriper. He was nothing but nerves, every bone shook and his hands were nervous wrecks,...
Ain't it the truth! I got one I didn't particularly like and kept it for decades--always hated the way it looked no matter what I did. Its been...
Face it dudes, cost is the killer of the entire picture. No? Go buy a gallon of top shelf paint and its needed components like thinner, clear...
Had the large base on an edlebrock on a 355 chevy. Flow rates on those are a bunch-like 350cfm for the smallest one if I remember correct. I'm...
can do edlebrock but not necessarily a good idea--the wcfb is super solid when right, a top shelf rebuild might bring it back. If you're unsure...
Sold 2 the very first of last year and am glad I did. At today's prices, i'd probably still have 2.
I'm a firm believer in less is more. Nothing less than 12 ga. wire anywhere in the stock circuit, solid terminal connections (good solder joints...
Huge and stranded is best.
10 zillion opinions so i'll add mine. Had essentially the same thing, used med. springs, about 35 degrees total all in. Be sure you KNOW...
Was at that point quite a while back-sold two cars, did two swap meets (both expensive to enter and still brought a bunch home) and as we talk...
I've seen some absolutely teeny ones on show car types-operational or not??? Keep Looking.
Love that most of these rides have something I truly like---called "paint".
Guess its all in the perception. For me, I'm just flattered that someone would take a moment or two to comment--right, wrong, dumb, whatever....
Yeah, the old r12 factory systems in good shape are the best. I've installed several under dash units, not vintage airs, just truck types and made...
First, i have no experience with this brand. Second, IF you've spent big or decent bucks on prep and base coat(s), you're willing to gamble with...
"80 mph running at 7000-8000" Hell with the trans, what's the engine?????
That old Mark unit you have, if set up right, will freeze the balls off a brass monkey. Here in South Texas we wouldn't give a rat's how it...
just a thought, have you tried a long gravity bleed for the entire system?
The piece/pre bent stuff is o.k. if you can do some form of exhaust welding. I bought a set off craigslist and used it on one side of a coupe....
Had hell bleeding mine, basically the same setup except in a 55 chevy. IF, the MC is higher than the WC's, do a gravity feed bleed--just open the...
Right, I had a 55 265 that had an external filter at the front of the engine--on a bracket that looked like a piece of old 3/8" steel bent into a...
Those 8"are well know for noise. I had one in a coupe, 3:55 I think, it had only about 30-40K on it and howled on descent. I figured the gear,...
Fastest thing I ever owned-62 chevy 2 with 327/Muncie. Bare bones body and would rev over the moon. Loved Vettes at stoplights.
Maybe one of those "dealer "installed frames.
He was at a big rod show in Houston. Had my 8-9 year old daughter with me and we stopped at his booth, she got a big kick out of Rat Fink (so...
