That looks exactly like our laid back airport drags, my club rents the place about six times a year for bracket racing and test n tunes. Traction...
I've never seen old style valve covers like that on a 455, factory covers are ten bolts around the edges. How did they get them to fit?
Modern small block heads are identified by a single number and usually an accompanying letter like this one you posted, 7A. That and 5A are the...
So how are you folks coping. Airports shut down? Public transit at a standstill? Mayhem on the highways? Looks pretty brutal, better hunker down...
Summit is the gold standard for customer service. I ordered the wrong PS pulley. Called up their tech support, they figured out the correct one...
The Syndicate Scuderia, built by Jack Williams who passed away a few years ago. I saw him run this when he was in his 80's at our eighth mile...
He's on Canadian Rodder but not often. Goes by "George" http://www.canadianrodder.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21235&highlight=George
When my MSD coil failed for the second time I had a spare Petronix which I installed, works fine with 6AL-2
"Note the Cal Custom display behind the Orange Crate." Pensive Scribe, I believe that is actually Cal-Van Speed Shop, not Cal Customs, no? As...
How are those draglites in the snow George lol. That would look pretty funny with chains
Fear and loathing in Vancouver, great story! Gastown is pretty tame now compared to back in the day when it was low rent. In my younger days we...
We have better beer too. So there!
You can't cool air? Of course you can it's simple physics. Compress air and it heats up. DEcompress air and it cools down. The theory is simple,...
Must be it, thanks George. He had trouble keeping that hooked through almost the entire eighth mile at Sechelt, most of the heavy hitters do,...
Thank you!!! Pet peeve of mine, I'm in aviation and that's the way it is, you've never heard of a turbine motor hung on an airplane (at least I...
I don't know if it's the same car but one identical to this, same color, raced at the Sechelt airport drags a few times, though not lately. It WAS...
We had a 70 HP Mercury outboard like that one, ran on 24 to 1 fuel oil mix and smoked like a mother! Had no gearbox, you started it in gear. For...
I'd call it a fitting, but that's just an opinion
I don't think the front turn signal bulbs should be dual filament. Check the ground wire connections
I'm not saying it's never been, or is done. Out of production airplanes, like the Seebee noted above or kit airplanes, sure, they are a cheap...
Airplanes and water cooled engines normally don't play together very well
Sorry to hear about that Nasty fall but sounds like your in great hands. All I can do to help is post another cat picture[ATTACH]
Ok, no 90 degree fittings, I get why. How about steel braided flex lines then, all three. All this talk about machining and shimming seems like...
Can you put a 90 degree fitting on the carb pointing down and then bend up a new fuel line?
I installed a dual Flex-A-Lite pullers on my Olds 455 last year, very happy with the results. It took literally only minutes to drill holes for...
We glass bead very expensive aluminum aircraft parts , just regulate the pressure correctly and you won't damage anything. I agree sand is out...
Bead blasting aluminum works best but you should be able to clean up with red scotchbrite as long as they aren't pitted. Absolutely no wire wheel
"malcontents and mutineers" ha ha, love your half drunk writing style, and I would add they appear to be miscreants and misfits as well!!
Good discussion here on realoldspower, looks like the Lokar ED-5008 with slight modification works good...
As above. With that much oil the leak should be obvious and easy to find rather than speculating on what it could be
