Like I said way back somewhere in this thread, a friend of mine flipped the stock intake upside down and used a Carter W-O from a late '40s/early...
I've owned two S10s (both 4.3 powered) with this transmission and ran them up to 250,000 miles and 312,000 miles with no problems. ANY...
Of all the early OHV V8s, Oldsmobile is still the easiest to find aftermarket speed equipment for, since they were so populare throughout the '50s...
Yes. I polished a rough cast aluminum side cover for a 235/261, and it came out nice. I would consider the time I had in doing it preferable to...
It's unfortunate that your Edmunds intake is one of the few that wasn't polished at the factory. The majority of Edmunds intakes I've owned or...
Yes, its value is immeasurable, especially to someone who has one of these strange creatures (like me).
He hasn't been on here in nine years.
As I understand it, all 1956-57 engines used the 1.54 rockers, and they went back to the 1.43 version in '58.
Yeah, I remember a guy who had a '66 Oldsmobile 98 that he claimed no one in the city where he lived (with a population of around 100,000) could...
That was my first thought when I saw this.
I take it that you're working on a Buick 322, since all Ford Y blocks came with adjustable rocker arms. Adjustable pushrods are probably going to...
1/8 LC {low crown} should be for a 4 inch stroke.
The wagon wheel is a foundry logo. I've seen it on lots of 1950s Oldsmobile castings.
Apparently, she liked steelpacks.[ATTACH]
G.M. crate engine. I've sold a couple of them at the dealership where I work.
I have a friend who calls me "Yoda" because he thinks that I know everything; I don't really, but I let him believe that I do. As Gene Wilder's...
I've had more than one swap meet seller insist that because this intake is aluminum, it just HAS to be from an early Corvette.
Camaro/Firebird shifters had an offset toward the passenger side.
They refer to the '59 Corvette that they saw at the ice cream stand last night as a '59 Corvette and not a "C1".
Wooooo doggies!!! Just kidding; I think that you've done a good job on it.
A name given to me by a girl I knew many years ago who, after not seeing her for around 15 years, ran into me as she was exiting a store that I...
461 heads could either have 1.94/1.50 or 2.02/1.60 valves, depending on what engine they originally came on. Any 1964 or newer 327 rated at more...
It looks like the aftermarket all cast iron T10 with high nickel gearset that was sold in the late '70s/early '80s. I picked one up cheap at a...
When I worked in a Mobil station in the mid 1980s, there were two types of Mobil franchises; one where you were bound by contract to sell only...
After four years?
[ATTACH]I meant on the sealing surface, like on the left side of this picture
Yes, it fits nothing newer than '64. Are there two different water ports on the gasket surface up front? Edelbrock did that on the single and...
He's lucky; he got the cap.
Yes, I'll crawl back up into the garage attic some night this week.
They like to be where the action is.
