11 in a 15 mile traffic jam on I-45.
I'm just damm glad I can remember! BTW, what was the subject??
Correction. My 40 chevy with Knees had 6 lugs std. stock. FYI, not sure what years, but pickup 15" wheels are available with 6 lugs and work good...
This is true. I found out the same thing when I put 34" cherry bombs on my 350. It was louder when installed, but the tone has kept steady for...
All pre-63. No ricers here. cooger
I sure don't claim to be an expert source for this (hamb always kills them!) but the only 3x2 setup for Chevy was the GTO type-and they were the...
So did I-cancelled the first order. Then ordered again (price went up) and they shipped within 2 weeks. Everything is about money. Suggest you...
Don't know your setup, but one small piece of advice I would give you is when (if) you modify the end carbs as dumpers better make SURE the base...
We have one at the Lone Star flight museum in Galveston. Coolest thing I ever saw was the B-17 parked with two full lines of vets that was about...
Far as the plug gap, you shouldn't have any problem there. Most conversions say around .40-.45. I've used a Pertronic's at .40 with a mild sbc...
I have a tractor w/ tube tires that go flat constantly. My tractor tire guy does this all the time, just pulls the tube, replaces the stem, and...
since opinions are free, here's another one. Think of buying a good rebuilt carb, from a good source. Leave it alone, just adjust idle after you...
HARD block off the end carbs, make a plate w/ gasket & rtv & bolt it solid! Then, forget the pressure reg. & use std fuel pump pressure, all...
did an external slave using a Wilwood 3/4" master from Summit and stock s10 slave. Very easy to do and it works great, on a 5 speed. One...
works well on my driver, cast iron color. Can use a paint brush to apply, let dry and then a neat trick--if not exhaust manifold use a heat gun to...
try 111mph in one of those, through curves, heavy traffic, with no seat belt or roll-bar. cooger
Look up Instrument Exchange in Houston. They carry a full line of SW and others and have been in business for 60+ years and will know what you...
What a cool place for a nostalgia drag meet and show. Leave just as it is and let's fire 'em up. cooger
All us guys in Texas need to lift one for ol' George tonight. Better still if you're at a TRUE Texas beer joint, no smell good sports bar. What a...
Damm, I was BORN with a 29" waist and its went up ever since. cooger
For me, this was the ticket for my 55. The Wilwood activates the stock slave, all I had to do was figure out a bracket to mount the slave, get a...
I've got on sitting on stands that has been shortened with the pass. side axle--it's right at 57" backing plate to backing plate. The guy that did...
Don't think you'll have to worry about a "whole lot of rare cars" next year. I stand by what I said, every track has oil downs and know how to...
I was there with 3 of my buds and our cars, all for time trials. Really disappointed in all the super long delays for track cleanups. Every track...
All of V8 tri fives plus some others into '61 tried to get these. Only the "rich kids" could afford new ones. There was a tire warehouse in...
I did the same thing with some end bases. First, placed the order, waited 2 months, many calls. Then order was cancelled. Later called, replaced...
we got there early last year, had to wait for the gate to open (before 8) and a line of traffic built up. They probably got that covered for this...
I haven't read all the posts, but just replaced the bearings on my 355----all tks. to a Melling HV pump. Cavitation of the oil at high rpm.----all...
I got a kick out of this one--I've done it also. Would make a good thread!!
Last year they let just about anybody run. I'm not clear on specific requirements, but I ran with only a seatbelt. One of my buds said they told...
