Not to play the repeater here...but PLEASE be sure you leave that axle nut on there (albeit loose) when pounding on this thing with a hammer. I am...
I too have heard the term applied to 49-51 fords, tri-5 chebbies, but mainly I hear it applied to early Chevy II (novas). Where did it originate?...
I dunno, it doesnt look like it would be very efficient because there is no ring-landing for the filter to sit on, whereas the big opening is the...
Even if your Z bar is in good shape, in my opinion adding some strength to this area is a good idea...if it does in fact let go while out on the...
So over the years I have seen this problem crop up on more than one old MoPar with a slant 6 and three on the tree. The problem is after many...
No MoPar flathead 6 in the list...so I voted "other" :)
