I don’t have pics of the pinch . Its a narrow, flat crossmember. The frame rails were pinched in from the firewall forward. [ATTACH]
Nice shots. Thanks.
Blew up my motor at the Top Secret drags in 2024. Rebuilt it and switched to my Cragar intake. Took it back to TSD this past September. Ran great....
Thanks. I get a glare at times. But it’s not too bad.
I’m not sure why they do. But I have two hot rods with a 392/tko/x setups. Both use regular diaphragm clutches - 10.5.
Thanks. Used a Hays cutch (85-102). I had to use the chevy bellhousing that puts the fork at 7 oclock (to clear my steering box). I used a clutch...
Thanks. It is done.... well driveable. I have a number of finishing touches left to do. Plus the interior.
more pics... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I haven't been on the HAMB much lately. But 2 years ago I picked up a 40 Ford Standard Coupe. An elderly gentleman started a restoration in the...
Just trying to figure why. I have another 392 with a TKO (6.71) and same bell housing no issues. I prefer to think things out. Thanks. and I have...
Thanks for all the suggestions. I was hoping to get the measurements to see what is going wrong before I modify anything. Its a very popular...
I'm hoping to find someone in the process of using Hot Heads Hemi to Chevy Manual adapter. The input shaft is bottoming out into the pilot...
I’ve got some guide headlights with a plug Im not familiar with. Anyone know if the female side is available anywhere? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I removed the gauge at their end of the fuel log and replaced it with a return line. It only happens sometimes when it’s hot.
I contacted P&J, they said the narrower perch centers should not change the length. It was my first question. my plan, so far, is to mockup and...
I have. But I’ll triple check. Thanks
Yeah, that's the next step. But 2" is a lot. So I'm hoping someone can confirm or point out something I screwed up. Thanks.
I'm in the process of my latest build. I'm using P&J split wishbone kit. Superbell Axle with 36.5' perch centers. Posie 2037-40L spring. I cut...
Never thought of that. Do they have needle seats for 5/16 line?
Fuel shoots out in all directions from those holes. Including straight up.
you cannot run the new strombergs with the top off. I’ve tried. The needle/seat was replaced by a ball valve. but I have also suspected vapor as...
Good point. I might try and run a return line from the forward end of the rail. Where the gauge is.
What would cause a pressure spike? It only happens in the exact situation. It’s an electric fuel pump. just seems to me that it’s an inertia...
Got a video of it. [MEDIA]
Two carters on a weiand.
The regulator does not have a return. There is a wix filter with a return line after the regulator. I plumbed it at the highest point to return...
There is a return line after the regulator and before the fuel rail.
That’s one thing I haven’t tried. i also can’t guarantee it’s only the front. It clearly comes from that carb. It may be doing it at a smaller...
I talked to clive a month or so ago. It was mainly about a worse issue. But I mentioned this to him. He didn’t really have much to say. I’ll try...
I switched to a 4 deuce setup. Everything runs good on the street. But when I attempt to launch I get a small geyser from the front carb...
