Called Fox Valley, but the number doesn’t go thru, so I sent an email. Awaiting a response for now. Any other suggestions from anyone?
Hello everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for a Flathead engine building shop near (or as near as can be) the Chicagoland area. I have...
Gilmore Auto Museum always has something going on. This one is the biggest of the...
That’s what I had to do to mine.
I hear ya. It’s not even about saving money, but decent parts seem to be getting scarce. I know a lot of you are like bloodhounds, and can sniff...
I think I can get away reusing the sector
The matching timken race was pretty rough, as well, but I have a replacement for that. I am not looking forward to replacing the worm gear, but I...
Can I reuse this steering worm gear? The other race is fine, and the bearings seem ok. [ATTACH]
Lookin’ real fine!
62pan, Thank you so much for the pics. That’s a big help. You even kept the mechanical brakes, like me!
I do have to reroute the cable, but that’s not a problem. I am having interference issues with the crossmember as noted. Some are saying they were...
I think I may need to adjust the angle on the perch mounts, like those nifty bolt on ones. Mine are original Model A, so they’re already part of...
Thanks for the pic of your setup. Any more from underneath? I have the spring installed in the car, already, with a spring spreader stretching...
Hello, Rodders I need a hand setting up my magnesium Halibrand 101 quick change in my 30 AV8. I’ve already put together the whole rear end with...
It looks so nice I feel dumb for not doing the same to mine.
I ran dual 81s straight linkage with no problems on my banger.
Always love a visit to Mart’s Garage! Learned a trick or two from your vids over the years.
I had the exact same thing happen to me last year. After seeing this I’m chalking it up to poorly made aftermarket synchronizer blocks. Assuming...
Fabulous. Love the pinstriping.
Thanks for responding. Check and check. Replaced both, running great, but some plugs are sooting up real quick.
Oh, also want to mention that I used one of those spark plug testers with the little light before changing the cap and rotor, and that showed that...
Hello, All I’m going to try to keep this short, but include the details that might help diagnose my current running issues. I’ve got a 59ab...
Rechargeable AA are 1.2v. Close enough for my use.
Hang in there. It’ll be worth it!
That is a stunning color. Very classy ride.
I’m using the e fire, as well, with no problems. Not every 6v coil will be the spec stromberg calls for (1.5 ohm). I tested a few cool looking 6v...
The u bolts aren’t hitting the axle, my crank pulley is hitting my tie rod. I haven’t measured, but it’s probably less than three inches between...
Would be nice one of these days, but I’m wedded to the city in more ways than one. I don’t think I bomb around town too recklessly, but in the...
Yes, some portions are that bad. They’ll come in, and scoop out the top layer of street, and leave it like that without any signs for weeks....
Yeah, I think the reversed eye I bought was pretty tired by the time I got it, and my original pack had seen some miles, as well. I like the...
