Technical What are you working on?

This it?

 

Is it 59” ? If so your looking at a 4x4 rear.

 

2002 chevy blazer extreme. Has parking brake in rotor. Looks identical to yours

 

If it were a Camaro rear it would have the mounting for the torque arm, eh?

 

Pretty sure its blazer

 

Grabbed some more 292 stuff.
Laugh if ya want but this cam has all its lobes.
Lifters labeled to match each lobe.
Grabbed the head, another carb, and brackets. Mine had the wrong alt pulley. We good now.
It’s not a hot rod engine.

and I grab these 4 blade fans when I find em

 

Working on steering for my model A. Steering angle and header size are making it more difficult than I thought. Am thinking of running two double joints to get proper angle. Single joint on bottom has a bit of a bind.

 

Make sure they are phased also....double joints dont require a support i think...

 

Yes, I agree about the phasing of the joints. I do think that a support is required for it as there will be 4 joints in play. I already have the guide bushing to use.

 

With this cold spell I've been playing in the barn and feeding its wood stove.Got all the wood cut to the proper lengths,now can see where holes need to be.

 

I guess this is what sent the 292 to the bone yard

 

Intake or exhaust?

 

Exhaust
The rest of it looks great so far
Pulled a cam out of another one on Friday.
Yea it’s used. I know…….
But the plan for this one is seal it and send it
It’s a beater we use to haul scrap and go on parts runs with

 

That would make sense because it would backfire out the intake like a big dog

 

The advance on the distributor was un hooked. New points…..new wire to coil.
Bet they were chasing down what they thought was an ignition issue.

 

Back in the 80s customers would come in with late 70s sbc's backfiring through the intake thinking they needed a tune up. They weren't real pleased with the flat cam diagnosis

 

Seems wiping cams is traditional

 

Chevy had a problem with soft cams in the mid 70s for sure.

 

Started polishing these old edelbrock covers. They were on the 301 in the vette when I got it. I think they were installed in the early 70s and never run on the engine. I picked up some moon breathers to run on em.

 

Think I have a new old stock set of 6 cylinder GM lifters if you need.

 

Playing with the cruise control on the Corvette, it's been having a pulsing pedal, quick surging. I redid the cable mount at the carb, made a less flexible bracket. I'm going on little drive to Tucson tomorrow, I'll see if that helped.

 

I’d hate to waste NOS parts on this old beater

 

Worked on loading up a 53 Chevy today that my son bought. Pretty decent car that was parked 20 years ago to fix a transmission oil leak that ended up being the dipstick. Car never got put back together.

 

I’d drive it

 

I'd want more than 2 strips of masking tape holding the hood down before I'd drive it though!

 

That’s called adventure driving

had a chain and lock holding my 57 ford hood in high school

 

LOL! Those are actually ratchet straps but they do look like masking tape now that you mention it.

 

Spent a lot of time cruising in a friend's '53 four door Belair in '67 and '68. There's also a four door '53 on my way to our rural school where I substitute frequently. I see it twice a day and each time it jars a pleasant memory. Sure like what you got. Nice score!

 

Car doesn’t even need paint

lucky

 

LOL! Me too, Anthony. Me too.
