Andy, yes, that looks like exactly what I need (if I could buy one ready to go I would). Awhile back when I kinda-sorta mocked up a system like...
All of the pictures, diagrams, and explanations were very helpful thanks to Y’all. It looks to me that if a builder wanted to stay with side steer...
I posted the box info immediately after my first post but for some reason it did not show up at that time. I am using what folks call a...
I am using an F100 box but that doesn’t change the steering linkage because the Pitman arm is in the stock location and orientation.
Probably a ridiculous question but just in case…….. is the (-) terminal of the coil going to the distributor?
I am in the process of building a ‘28 RPU and have questions about the steering linkage. No doubt thousands of hotrods have been built in the last...
So I’m installing a 4” drop axle on my Model A. After several days of working t find a suitable set up, I have come to the conclusion that it is...
There is a Burtz Block Facebook page, I strongly reccomend it
The Burtz camshaft is very good, definitely the way to go
I have a question, or series of questions that are very difficult to put into writing. For these question the best picture I can come up with is...
I have (4) Chrysler 15”x 6” 5 x 5 1/2” bolt pattern steel wheels (Motorwheel brand). They have been media blasted and Primered. I’m open to...
I read your prior post thru several times Dana but I just couldn’t quite get my head around your description combined with the photo. Now I get...
Dana, if I’m understanding you correctly you kept the rear crossmember in the original location and moved the axle itself forward about “? I am...
Got it Rich, thanks!
The longer the wheelbase you can get it the better
A Model B Ford dizzy looks like a model a dizyy but it has centrifical advance.
I drive on the beach all the time and i can tell you that one of the most important things is to run as fat and tall a tire as you can get away...
Does anybody have a picture of an adjustable perch? I can’t find any on the website.
Looking at your very last picture (which due to the angle does not make it possible to see all the details) I cannot se that the frame was...
All good ideas and very, very helpful, thank you. Marty, I would say that what you have built there is pretty close to perfection but at least...
That’s pretty much what I’m thinking of Rich. I know that there are numerous reasons that coils are easier and better but I want to keep a more...
I like that Rich! SD, if I ever had the funds to do it (body n paint is already done on mine) I would take 6-10” out of the front of the bed and...
SD, your RPU is the same year and color as mine.
Ya PP you’re right about the frame length.
I am in the (ridiculously slow) process of building a Model A hot rod keeping a transverse leaf spring. I am installing a Ford 8” and I’m thinking...
This is just my opinion but If I were to do anything other than stock I would go with a rack and pinion. They are available relatively...
This is only a 5 year old install. I want to replace the ones I have now because they won’t take grease (it’s not just the zerk). I now know that...
Correction: as most of you know, I need 1 end that has the tapered hole in in it as well as the 3/4” threads. I’m sure that most of you can...
I need some help with a source/part numbers for lefty and righty 3/4” male thread tie rod ends. I want some good quality (MOOH Maybe?) greaseable...
I always wondered if a rack could be used on a straight axle In my case a Model A. Yesterday at a car show I saw 3 cars with such a system, so now...
