I prefer the 87-91 Chevy truck pulleys. The alternator is a ribbed belt design, but the P/S pump and A/C are V-belts. (The pulleys have one ribbed...
Are you building your own? The pre-made ones are all about the same, but the rolls of tubing come in various qualities. I buy the rolls that...
It's your car, do whatever you want to with it. You don't have to ask for permission to make changes. And be man enough to accept any criticism....
I've been through that many times. The best one was a project that I had gotten burnt out on, a 46 Chevy truck. I posted the cab for sale really...
I use type F in anything old (pre 80's). But they will work fine with the cheap-o Multi Vehicle fluids also.
Probably because it's boring and kind of off topic. I'm pretty sure the general consensus is that Ebay sucks. Mainly because of all the scamming...
I will take your block of aluminum. Then I will sell it for scrap. I will use the money, and apply it to a newer, more efficient, more reliable,...
I found an old box of Marlboro cigarettes behind the glove box of a car I was working on. Still new and wrapped in cellophane, but obviously...
Welcome, there are a few of us locals on here. And a few more scattered around the Panhandle.
The 300 is the only one I would mess with...it's a good engine. The smaller sixes just don't have much power even with speed equipment. It's only...
If its a roller cam, it's going to be hardened, and they may not want to grind it. If your just building a mundane BBC, just buy another...
What he said. There is no aftermarket for those rear ends, anything you find will be stock replacement stuff. And they are incredibly weak, with...
Well, I was under 30 when I joined the HAMB, I am a little over that now. I would post pics of my "in progress" 46 Chevy, but at the risk of...
Here is my guess. The story is true, the planes will be unearthed......and every one will be a worthless hunk of shit. I am reminded of this...
My daily driver is a VW diesel. I burn waste motor oil (5W30) and ATF in it, mixed 50/50 with diesel. It will run on richer blends, but it can...
My thoughts exactly. Our hobby has a bigger threat than TV auctions.....the price of scrap metal. If you think 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s cars aren't...
On the other side of the coin...... I have a 46 Chev p-up that I lost motivavtion to build, so decided to sell. I get a prospective buyer, very...
I suspect they would be there up untill at least the mid 80's, when GM started using hydrulic clutches.
