It seems to me that running the draft tube gasses directly into the air intake would mean that air filter changes would need to be done quite...
My hometown was named after a bull. "Bulltown" became the town's nickname.
I would keep the surge brakes. U-haul used them for a reason. They work well and the tow vehicle does not need any special equipment.
You can find them on ebay most any time.
It sure would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing, or in this case, all disliked the same thing.
You can pushstart the early touqueflite equipped cars if that is of any concern to you. Tom
HRV, I totally agree with wizardfabs last post (#82). There will be some flex, but with that being said, you could hit that chain and gears with a...
I'd go with green wire for the proper grounding, you could really get zapped with those huge batteries. Tom
I believe the 345 Desoto hemi with dual quad was the first production engine to make one horsepower per cubic inch. The 1957 Desoto Adventurer was...
Is "tramping" the same as bump steer or death wobble? I had a 54 Dodge pickup where if you hit a pothole just right the front end would shake, all...
Thanks for the opinions. I'll check out some of the mags suggested and keep watching the H.A.M.B. Tom
I'm looking for a magazine that has a lot of technical stuff that relates mostly to late twenties through the forties hot rods. What would you...
Thank you for the responces guys! I hope I can be of assistance to you sometime. Tom
The car is a 31 Desoto and the axel I'm wanting to use is an 8 3/4 Chrysler product. Tom
My car has rear parallel leaf springs with a perch to perch centerline measurement of 43 1/2. The axel I would like to install measures 44. Is...
It gives the car a nice smile. That's probably not what you're looking for?
It will clean out any crud you might have in your fuel tank. Fuel filters will need to be changed at some point. Also it will soften any rubber...
I can't say for sure what the top "comfortable" speed would be but I would guess more in the 60 to 65 range. Perhap higher if it has overdrive.
Hey guys hasn't anyone put universal wipers on their rod? Tom
I'm looking at putting aftermarket electric windshield wipers on my 31. Which ones would you recommend or not[IMG] Tom
Guys I'm just getting started on this project, accually I'm still getting my thoughts together on what I want to do and what can be done. I'm...
I'm looking for a straight axel that has its spring mounts 27 1/2 inches center to center and aprox 57 1/2 outside to outside of the hubs. A...
I don't think racing should be a team sport although I totally loved it that DODGE kicked booty(even though they are dodge in name only).
Looks to me like a 30 or early 31 DeSoto. The grill shell on these was wider like the picture shows. The grill shell on the "true 31" was...
38 mopar fan If you go to hothemiheads.com they only deal with early hemis on that sight. They are very knowledgable and can give the answers...
I can't even imagine the loss of ones child. Devote a lot of time to your wife, this kind of thing can be trying on a relationship. Your family is...
Use the panel or reposition the guages.
Bobby Ford, I understood what you were getting at, perhaps an appology is in order. What do you think, Deuce Rails?
I use it on the aluminum threads of light bulbs, they come out much easier.
I'm glad most of you out there wear your belts, I too feel naked without them. I don't want that guy in the back seat flying at me either so...
