Thanks for supporting print (and digital)!
As mentioned, a private registration company is the way to go. They know how to navigate the DMV and what'll you need and THEY handle all the...
I don't know who's posting this crap, but the car didn't go anywhere near 300 mph. According to their own post, Chico's roadster went 230 mph when...
So far, so good...
That would make sense. Jim Travis is a wealth of knowledge but unfortunately I don't have his contact info any longer. He still lurks around...
It wasn't uncommon back then, nor is it today, to "rent out" the speedway for a singular record attempt. Mickey did it, as did the Summers Bros...
16x6 Halibrand Culver City Smoothie Wheels (pair) with matching pressure plates and knock-offs 6-Pin Sprint Car bolt pattern (6x5)[ATTACH]...
Good guys!
Rebuild stock box.
Um, ok. I really liked Pepsi One and felt I owed it to myself to keep the brand alive. Turned out, Pepsi didn't care and killed it regardless.
Yeah crap. I saw that but forgot about all that monkey motion out over the perch bolt and the fact that they're so short. So... drill and tap...
That's pretty much how I always thought about it.
It can be done. Lower shock mount as mention above and modified F-100 upper shock mounts. For bolt-in, look at what Pete & Jake's offer. [ATTACH]
Thanks Gary! Thank you! They're definitely out there, but I had to search for quite awhile before I found one that I thought was "affordable"...
THIS /\ You don't want the full amps of that fuse panel drawing through the switch, hence the relay. I would actually run power directly from the...
We could all subscribe tomorrow but when the latest CEO of whatever hedgefund owns the business and decides the print business doesn't resonate...
Just stirring the pot Gary, your reputation precedes you! I would add that the setup in post #23 would typically be referred to as a...
Suicide front ends and cowl steering, discuss! :cool:
:eek: I never even considered THAT!
Here's a column I built for a Roadster awhile back. Stainless tubing with OD to fit stock Ford column drop. I wanted to retain the locking ability...
What are the O2 sensors for then? Going by what you're reporting, it sounds like you're close. Have you balanced the three carbs with a Uni-Syn?...
Good idea, gonna drive around for a couple years with 7.50x16s up front and 5.50x16s out back; will report back.
Yes
First things to check: float setting, Grose valve operating properly, and fuel pressure is set correctly. Next: disconnect the linkage and wind...
Try hooking up the green wire to the tach terminal on the HEI distributor.
Did you get the answer you were after or was the whole point just to argue? Seems like you know the answer that you wanted to receive in the first...
Sounds like you got it wired correctly. The thing to do is eliminate the simple stuff (good ground, etc) which is sounds like you have. Only other...
A Panhard rod is not a Band-Aid for anything, it's a necessity to keep the axle centered on certain types of suspension. They have nothing to do...
Try swapping the green and white wires. White is typically the tach signal wire to Coil -.
I'd rather have a breaker/fuse pop than a wire short and start a fire, wouldn't you? Building cars for customers, you never know what they're...
Separate names with a comma.
