Is anyone (other than Coker/Firestone) still making a bias ply pie crust slick? The Radir 10.00-15's on Plan B are pretty weather checked. I'll...
This sucks. Frank is the coolest old hot rodder I've ever met. He's the grumpy old man I hope I can be when I grow up. RIP Frank. :( Posted using...
Awesome! Thanks for the info, guys! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Hey everyone... I lost the lease on a barn I was storing parts in, so I need to start clearing it out. I came across this axle that I bought for...
Here's the panorama shot. The dust cloud on the far right is the mini bike races. The whole area around the mini bike races was full of show cars...
Just got home from SOS 2014! Michigan's original, biggest, and best traditional hot rod show! Had a blast, as always! Got completely...
So nobody's down for carpooling for a Thursday day trip to Cobo? Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Any GMB's heading down from Flint (or anywhere north of Flint), just for the day Thursday, that would be interested in carpooling? Lucky77 is...
Hey everybody... there's a car show in Downtown Clio (48420) tomorrow afternoon (8/27); they are closing Vienna Rd West of Clio Rd from...
Alright... so it looks like I'm gonna run it! Thanks everyone!
I used my dial bore gauge and mics (but they're all made in China swap meet specials) which show .002"-.0021", and Plastigage, which shows exactly...
I'm finally getting around to putting the Chevy II back together, and the bearing clearances are a little tighter than what I'm used to running,...
Couldn't have said it better myself!
Well, with as cheap as a filter is, throw one on and go! I don't think you would have hurt it, since the pickup point was still well below the...
I know that I had a bit of that "proud parent" feeling with how great the show turned out! Thanks for letting us be a part of it!
And... even if it wasn't bigger, it was certainly WAAAAYYYY better! Without a doubt, the BEST show ever held in Davisburg, and substantially...
Not as big as last year??? I'm pretty sure it was BIGGER than last year! We packed the cars in way tighter than they had been in the past, and...
Yep, I've got the '55 parked in the grass at the end of the driveway, so the racket from those open headers doesn't bounce off the driveway and go...
Trust me Rich, if it's the one I'm thinking of, once you experience this thing, you won't be rolling your eyes! Although, you may have seen/heard...
Thanks! Make mine a Mt Dew or water please! :)
Well, I just took 'er for a test drive with the freshly rebuilt trans and new converter, and everything seems to be working! So, I will continue...
Thanks! I checked that before I pulled the driveshaft... it feels fine turning in either direction, no unusual slop, noises, or catches, etc......
Well, I came up with the money to have the trans gone through... And there was nothing wrong! :( The clutches were a little worn, but not an...
Well, I checked the modulator, and that was good; the piston moved freely, etc... So, the transmission is now on the ground! I'm gonna try to...
Anybody have any other quick, easy checks before I yank the trans???
Well, I just pulled the governor, and that's essentially "perfect"; So, I'm thinking the trans has to come out!
I had a pump go bad before, but it didn't act like this... it was shifting lazy, and slipping, and all of that stuff. This was working perfect one...
Is there any way to test the pump in the car? I don't really want to pull the trans unless it's absolutely necessary!
Ok guys, got the pan off... and everything looks fine! :confused: Fluid and filter look brand new, nothing in the pan that shouldn't be, magnetic...
Thanks Randy! I'll pull the pan later today!
