I recently replaced all the brake and fuel lines on my 63 Chevy with Nicopp using the Eastwood flaring tool. Everything worked like a dream....
Why is everybody talking about me?!!! Just kidding. I love the one in my 63 Chevy. It's just plain and simple fun. Follow the advise given by...
This is exactly what I was thinking. How do they handle a block that has been decked/machined to make the head gasket mating surface flat which,...
Hey, thanks. I've since put 3 Weber 2 barrel carbs on the 63, but I still have a few Chevy's with Q-jets and monojets and that site will come in...
You must be talking about the 34/36 mm progressive 2 barrel. I use the 38/38mm Outlaw Webber 2 barrels (non progressive-both barrels open...
Great show, great talent. No fluff or b.s. This is what the hobby is all about. Once again great job. I will be looking forward for future...
Ricci32, I can understand you not wanting to go into the shop for a while to allow time to grieve. I remodeled my fathers garage after he passed...
I dig it!!! Nothing outlandish. Sweet car, sounds real good. This show should do well. I'm definitely going to tune in again next week. Way...
I'm looking forward to it. (Hope I don't have to work too late so I can catch it.) Like someone said earlier, it would be cool to invite...
I can only speak for Smithy's as I have a pair on my Chevy 250 six. I have Langdons cast iron headers and dual Smithy's which merge into a single...
Your work and ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. Let me know when you get the car finished and take it to a local car show, I'd like to check it...
When you say "big truck" I'm assuming it's a 1 1/2 or 2 ton, if so I think the wheel openings in the fenders are bigger than the 1/2 ton fenders....
A heated dent puller???? I've done a bit of metal work here and there, but have never heard of one, tell us more. You are a true craftsman.
I can understand your parents concern, and with the way some people drive on the road today, they have good reason. I spent many days picking out...
Sweeeet! Your buddy can lay down some beautiful welds. You'll like those carbs, they're the 32/36mm right? I have 3 38mm Outlaws on my 6....
Sounds like the distributor / coil isn't getting power when the switch is in the crank (start) position.
Man, that thing looks like it's already in great shape. I wish mine was half that nice.
Looks like I type slow too. Just a thought, Edelbrock carbs like around 5.5 psi of fuel pressure. Most mechanical pumps put out around 9 psi...
The vacuum leak sounds logical. While the choke is on, there's extra fuel for the additional air of a vacuum leak. As the engine warms up, the...
Here's where I got my information from. http://www.recarbco.com/technical/rochester/qjet.html Mr48chev, I just saw the link you found as well....
Here's what I found on the web. 17066558 170= made after 1976 66=??? 5= California or high altitude 5= Oldsmobile 8= even number is automatic...
That's looking really good. Keep the photos comming this is better than watching TV. How are you going to weld the but joints, gas tig, mig?
Cool thread! Thanks for taking the time and effort to post it. If you didn't have an english wheel could you have gotten away with annealing...
Putting that carb on and hoping it will run well is like rolling dice or flipping a coin. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. If you do decide to run...
That's about what I paid to have some new cast iron exhaust manifolds done. It's only been a couple of years, and they're rusty already. I...
I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but looks like Retrotek is already doing it....
I'm working on an old Chevy pick up for a friend and it also had a driver's window that wouldn't go down. Once I managed to get everything apart,...
Have you checked the advance weights in the distributor to make sure they're free and not sticking? Does the vacuum advance diaphram hold vacuum...
"Ever wind up with a lot more to do than planned?" Yep, many years ago a friend of mine had just bought a used Chevelle and asked me if I...
Are there any decent parking spots for spectators?
