Thanks for the replies! I agree the mechanical pump is the way to go and if it were my car I'd do it. The fellow who owns the car is trying to...
I'm working on a 1950 Canadian Meteor (a Ford with a Mercury-esq grille...) for an older gentleman. Rebuilt 239. The carb looks to be a knockoff...
1935 pickup that I'm working on for Bob, the father of a good friend. Bob has a small fleet of really cool old stuff, but he's not a mechanic. The...
Your description of how it should work makes perfect sense. I looked again at this generator; the "extra" wire is not attached to the adjustable...
Pulled the inspection cover as suggested. There are 3 brushes. one on each side (3 o'clock & 9 o'clock) and one at 12 o'clock. The black wire is...
Further to the above I found a YouTube video with a rundown of the cutout & it's function. That's exactly this generator looks like, except for...
I looked at those diagrams. They were helpful but don't show the exact terminals on the generator. This truck has a firewall mounted voltage...
I got everything together with a new manifold. No fatigue cracks I could see in the pulley, hub, etc. There are no bearings as part of the mount,...
I lurk on the HAMB a lot, but rarely post. Most of my stuff is not HAMB friendly. But at the moment I've got this in my garage. It's just so...
See, this is why I turn to the HAMB when I have tech questions. Lots of information & advice to digest here! For those who asked: I do have a...
I was thinking I had a volume problem...I've tried a couple different guns- 1.3 tip & 1.4 tip. Made next to no difference; granted, they were...
15-20 years ago I did a few garage paint jobs. I had two guns - one siphon feed, the other gravity. I don't recall the gravity gun being marked as...
Me neither....that's part of the issue :)
Thanks for the info. I have to repair the headlight harnesses anyway, so extending grounds is an option. Not sure how the headlight harnesses are...
I've been working on a 1951 F1 that belongs to a good friends dad. My involvement in this project snowballed from "get it to start" to "get it to...
I'll tear apart the pump to test the check valves. Weird I would have the same issue with two pumps. Intake is original, not aftermarket. In fact...
Flathead newb, but lots of engine building with musclecar era stuff. Posted a couple weeks ago about valve guides on an 8ba in a 1951 F1 & got...
Thanks for the all the replies, it's a big help. Good thing Slopok set me straight on the cylinder numbering, I'd have been cursing when I...
Awesome, thanks. The valves are lying there in order - Cylinders 1, 3, & 5. There is no groove on the #1 intake valve. I assume when I finish...
So I've lurked around here for years but rarely post, as most (well...all...) my projects are not HAMB friendly - GTO's, T/A's, Chevelle's and so...
I use Lord Fusor adhesives all the time on late model stuff. Works great. They have a pretty good website with breakdowns of the different...
Stuff is expensive up here...plus there is GST (general sales tax) - 5% Federal tax on top of everything. Plus provincial sales tax (varies from...
Lostone is on the right track but the years vary. 2nd gen f-body was the first GM to use the revised geometry. A-body didn't change till the '73...
All 8.5" "corporate" 10 bolts were 28 spline. However, current GM 1/2 to pickup trucks use an evolution of the 8.5 - it's an 8.625" ring gear and...
No questions, but thanks for the write up! I grew up in farm country and heard may horror stories about split rims as they were on every grain...
Paint the trucks.....build an altar for the guitars. That Jag is the bomb!
I'm going start looking for sales like this more often. It's too bad I didn't find out about this sale earlier, I blew my toy budget for the month...
The two dollys and some of the hammers all have the same black paint on them, so it makes sense to me that they are from some sort of matched set....
Two things I don't normally do - First is post to the HAMB, although I spend lots of time lurking.. Second is go to auction sales. But my dad goes...
The spears on the roof of the 57 got me thinking. I believe they were an option, not all roadmasters got them. I think they are pretty rare. Also,...
