I have a Wescott '32 roadster and a Brookville '32 roadster pickup. I find the quality to be comparable, but the Wescott cost now approaches...
Ask Isky. I know he gave a similar cam to Warren Hokinson ("Hoke") to run in his V8-60 powered Kurtis midget. Sorry, can't tell you how well it...
Thanks for sharing the awesome photos of the Markley's and their tank. Great historical Bonneville documentation!
Indeed Pat rules! (Wilcap). Great guy to deal with.
Mine is a '55 DeSoto 291, cam reground by Isky, Weiand intake with 4 97's, Mopar HEI, Chev water pump on Hot Heads adapter, Wilcap adapter to...
Excellent photos, CB
The key word here is 'Sunday". A lot of the roadster guys enter their rods on Saturday but split early Sunday. By having the traditional rod...
Occasionally they turn up on Ebay, usually being sold by a relative of the tag owner after he died, or by someone who found one at an estate sale....
I have 4 97s on my '55 291 hemi, and they perform well, once I got them dialed in. The single 4 barrel would be simpler and cheaper, but lacks...
I have a '55 DeSoto in my '32 roadster. Finding an intake manifold will be difficult. I found a Weiand 4 two's after a couple of years of...
Hard to tell without a photo, but if the wheel has the early Ford 5 lug 51/2 bolt pattern, could be Jeep or International Harvester. If their are...

As a fellow roadster, owner I think you captured the true reason some guys are simply roadster freaks. Thanks for a great read; its refreshing to...
In Orange County, CA, roadster pick ups were quite popular in the '30's with citrus growers who used them to drive around in their lemon and...
Man, were you so pissed about the admission fee you forgot to look at the cars? This event was far bigger than Paso ever was, and what is wrong...
Pat is a super neat guy. When I was having trouble with adapting my '55 DeSoto hemi to a Saginaw 4 speed he even came over to my house to help...
Thanks, Sonny. That's what I suspected, but my engine was built by well known vintage engine builder Jerry Duttweiler, and I couldn't believe he...
I bought a factory El Dorado dual 4 barrel intake manifold for my 52 Cad engine, and noticed that the intake surface for the rear carb is lower...
Bummer, Don. Glad you're okay. Hope to see you back on the orad soon.
You're right about one thing: If you have to ask, you're "not a true hot rodder". _________________________________ Too bad youth is wasted...
Bernie is truly a remarkable guy; I have had the pleasure of knowing him for quite some time. He doesn't have a computer, but sometimes a friend...
