Check out The Mother Of all Tail Light Threads!!! on here, there's some great ideas!
I had a TH350 that did what you are describing, turned out that the tabs on the input shaft of the torque converter had sheered off so it wasn't...
I am trying desperately to find out what these engines are worth, as I have an opportunity to buy an unused one with the trans from an old farmer...
I was mistaken, it's a 270lb difference between the Chevy 216 l6 and the reported 900lb Cad 346. It's a wopping 339lb difference between the Cad...
The only specs I can find online say that the 346 weighs 699lbs not 900. Have you guys weighed your engines and is it 900 with or without the...
Almost done! Once I get the 60 Chrysler tail lights in I'll lead the whole car....
Good to see you on the Hamb pal! Why walk to Guttersville when you can drag pan all the way there? When you get there.... Strut that a$$!
Rusty, that's exactly what I did. Just cut the same distance above and below the body line, tape it to the car and measure so you know you have it...
Ok, maybe this will work. There aremore pics of the build on my profile.b [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Here's the latest progress on the fender graft. I know it's been a while, I've been working on other parts of the build too, sometimes you have to...
Yet another in favor of Olde Towne Shakedown! Nice plaque man!
Welcom to the soggy side!
It was the pump, the two tabs that the torque converter shaft slides onto had sheered off so the pump wasn't pumping fluid to the cooler or more...
I think I finally figured it out! The front pump went out so It's not circulating fluid. I ordered one today so I'll put it in this weekend. I"ll...
Not yet, I was waiting for the cold snap to end, I'm gonna tear into it after xmas.
Thanks surgeon. I usually do take the paint off before welding, I just let the excitement get the best of me. Rest assured I will get the paint...
If the flexplate was broken wouldn't you hear a bunch of noise when trying to start or at the very least have some trouble starting? At any rate I...
The bottom of the lifters were smooth and flat on the bottom, they all looked the same, no notable differences in apperance and all plungers were...
Jeff, how did you figure out it was the timing chain? Only way to fix that is a new chain eh.
Thanks onlychevs, I'm at work right now so I'll check those things when I get home in a few hours and get back to you.
The engine and tranny are tightly bolted together. How do I check the valve opening?
This is an odd situation, I don't know if I have 2 seperate issues or what but here's the scenario. I have an sbc 350/th350 combo in my 63 chevy...
The blending on top is going slow, [IMG] it's proving to be a bit tricky but I think it's gonna turn out pretty nice. I also got the rest of...
Sounds to me like I'd be better off having someone with experience do the blasting for me. On small parts or stuff I can easily get to with a wire...
Here's a better pic from the side, getting ready to put the end of the body line into the door. I thought about the caddy dagmars but I think they...
Thanks for the advice guys. I didn't think it would be that big of a deal but then again, I've never blasted anything before.
Anyone in the Portland Oregon area know if/where I can rent a media blaster or know where I can have my frame and inside of the body blasted for...
I got the driver side about half way done today. It's all tacked in place, just have to blend it to the chev fender, weld it in and cut away the...
I started cutting up the caddy fender yesterday, here's a couple pics of what I started with and the mock up of the driver side fender and bumper...
I figured it would be one of these things I would have to eyeball but figured it would be worth the time to ask if it got me some fancy trick of...
