The Jalopy Journal
I've had two in the past. A Bugeye sprite and a 70 MG Midget. Fun cars to race around in but only you know you're doing it. A few years ago I...
My 62 Catalina Safari. A work in progress. Pic is from last September, right after its 455/Th400 transplant. [ATTACH]
My 62 Pontiac wagon came from the factory with green interior, Silverleaf green exterior and white roof.
I have a filler panel for the seat top sitting in my barn. If you think it's something you can use, it's yours for the cost of shipping. PM me if...
Welcome. My current project is a 62 Catalina Safari. Your wagon is way nicer!
Cool find. My old employer! It would be nice to get it working and use just as a clock. The old woodcase time clocks are nice as well. I worked...
Ford/Borg Warner T86 3 speed with an R10 overdrive. Bell housing looks like a Ford truck mid 50s to early 60s Y-block. Medium duty/non-synchro...

Picked up this Pontiac Safari last year. I was originally looking for a Ford Ranch Wagon to install my spare 292 Y-block in. I couldn't find a...
For a second, I thought I was reading my own post. I was 2 years old in 62 as well. Also fifth out six kids. Growing up my three brothers and I...

I'm curious, does an air switch work on positive pressure? If so, that seems to be the opposite of a vacuum operated switch the OP is asking about.
If you can't find one, I would think you could build an assembly from a distributor vacuum advance unit and a universal motorcycle rear brake...
I got one for my home made HF style changer. It's a huge improvement in terms of effort to remove and mount the tire. Using tire lube is still key...
I see your using a phone GPS app for a speedo. Thought you might find this unit useful. I got one to check my speedometer calibration after...

Funny to see Singers mentioned on the HAMB. Given Singer is my last name, at one point I was kind of hot to add one to my garage. More for the...

They made them in a radial version, Chrysler multi-bank. From wiki - The Chrysler A57 Multibank is a 30-cylinder 1,253 cu in (20.5 L) engine...
I'm 95% sure the clutch and pressure plate in the attached pictures are from a 1950 Desoto fluid drive. That would be a flathead 6. I don't know...
What can and can't be done legally is very dependent on what state you live in.
Good point. It was a non-spoked wheel that uses tapered seat lug nuts. I reckon a spoked wheel with shanked lugs would be difficult.
I don't know if they help at all. I just took off a set of locks that I didn't have the "key" for with a pipe wrench. They came off just as easy...
