Case is, I have the 90s Magnum water pump modified for 360 LA, (rad. hose tube in different location, some other grindings, welds) and it started...
Hey, I am having a tune-up problem with recently parted together Model A pickup with Mopar 360 and Holley carb. While driving with constant speed,...
Hey, I am using a '70 Torqueflite, and reverse light acts strange. It does switch as needed, I can sense the voltage coming on when it is in...

I would like to get ideas how to manage fresh air intaking on a rod body that doesn't have a hole for it from the factory. I don't want to make...
Hey, I will visit the Milano in the beginning of March, could there be any rod/custom/chopper/rocknroll event somewhere there? Thanks.
Any new ideas, where to get pics, info? I thought that Model A is so common hot rod body, that any imaginable engine combo is several times...
I am having drum brakes in all corners, and 1989 Dodge van master cylinder under the floor, probably lower than wheel cylinders. I know that it...
69-77 large GM = fullsize, like Caprice maybe? then it has 75mm callipers. S10 rear wheel cyl 3/4", = 19,05mm If I find a ratio between...
Piston diameters please! Piston diameter, and it's area is more important than disc or wheel size!

Hey, what might be the problem spots for this engine change? Header issues? Stock steering box location? Can it be done without firewall cutting?...
Volvo 200 and 700 series cars are with front McPherson struts, so not suitable for this kind of build.
