Same here. Tried a few weeks ago to order a couple tires and finally gave up. Couldn't contact them in any way. I still need sneaks though so...
I've got strong oil pressure so I'm guessing the plug is in there in this case. But at least I learn something new today.. never knew that there...
Just finished mine last week. Some would say I have a lot of work left though
Thanks for all the help, I'll try a few things tomorrow and see how it goes.
Never really heard of a plug to be in place on the chevs. Plenty of oil on the shaft when I took it out though.
Not a new one but a different one off my stock car. No squeal on stock car.. like a pig on this engine
Running 10-30 now. Temp stays steady at about 180. Idles like it should. I can give it a go, its easy enough to swap oil and see if it makes a...
Mechanical oil pressure gauge
Quick rundown of parts. Hooker headers HEI distributor 2101 style Edelbrock intake 1405 Edelbrock carb. 993 heads, stock style rockers...
Not sure if it helps but the oil pressure gauge in the car stays steady at about 50 lbs at speed.

Good video.. feel like I scored tickets to the race.
I like the stance on your '50. It was tough to tell how high to set the ride height but after seeing that.. It makes me think I should've gone an...
Headers were out of the speedway catalogue. I ground off the tag but I think they were hooker or hedman. They are listed for a 55 -57 Chevy but...
It could be due to some of the newer than '65 parts I used on the build. It was meant to be able to drive with family or take to drive in so a few...
Really just lookin to say thanks for the help while it was up. Kept the motivation going and learned a great deal from the site... even if a 1950...
