Thank you sir.
Anyone have a good auto parts store part number for the bypass tube in the intake manifold to the water pump? The Ford PN doesn't cross over....
HA!!!
Thanks. I ordered one for that year model from O'Reilly and the ports were wrong. I'll use the Centric number as a cross reference. Thanks again.
That was my first thought... But I just like to put things back together the way they came apart.
Its on a disc brake conversion set up. It's a Ford type MC with a square top, small chamber forward with 1/2" and 3/8" ports. It's physically the...
I talked to him. He said he couldn't help without the carb tag number, which of course i don't have and I can't find my dial bore gauges to...
Thanks. I haven't been able to find a leather pump around here. Every carb shop I talk to uses the kits with the rubber pumps. If I can't find...
with what?
Thanks. This set up is 21/32 and the bore is clean as a whistle. Same with the last one we had this problem with.
So this is the 4th carburetor in a row that we've had this problem with. The accelerator pump not functioning properly. In this case, the piston...
It's going in a 52 ford F1 that has a GM tilt column in it. Its got a 14" chevy wheel in it now and its tight for me. I've seen the GMC and '40...
Looking for, but haven't found as of yet, a 14" steering wheel that smacks of a 50's ford pick up style wheel and will bolt directly onto a later...
Well, took it out and adjusting the valves made a huge improvement. Not perfect, but I can limp it around until I can get a motor in it. The...
Yes. I'm going to test drive it after adjusting the valves because, well, they're already adjusted, and I'm simply curious what effect it's going...
Which would explain the backpressure event at higher RPM. That's what caused us to go look at the valve train in the first place. If the valves...
Lots of loose valves and a flat #3 exhaust lobe. Going for a test drive in the morning.
The carburetor has been on for 3 months. We did a compression test at the time the carburetor went on and the compression was good across the...
100% absolutely certain. The motor is tired, any maybe its just coincidence that it started doing this right after we put a whole new fuel system...
One thing we just noticed. in park, when you rev the engine it runs smooth right up the point where the mechanical secondaries start to open. When...
The entire fuel system is new from the the carburetor to the fuel tank. Checked for leaks and restrictions. Checked both sides of the fuel pump...
First thing I did was a spray test. My dad is real conservative when it comes to torquing down carburetors so they don't warp. In this case he...
Its a tired crate 350 with HEI and a THM350 with a 10 bolt out of an 80's Camaro. We put a new Edelbrock carburetor with electric choke on it and...
Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I tried calling my old rebuilder today and miracle of miracles, they answered the phone. I thought they were...
Heh. yeah. I do it for a living. Its nuts. Every day the parts supply gets thinner and thinner. My local rebuilder has a poor reputation and my...
Is it really that hard to find one of these things anymore? None of my local vendors have it. Truck and car shop doesn't have it. I don't like...
Helping a friend out. He's got a 64 C10 with a 230 and a M22 4 speed with 3.73 rear gears. He wants to put a 5 speed in it. What 5 speed trans...
I have a 49 merc here and the set screws for the door lock cylinders are missing. Anyone have a spec on a correct screw for this application....
Swapped out the pilot bushing. Big improvement. Gonna put it back together and see how it goes.
So as it turns out my dad has a Browell bellhousing alignment tool. It's go/no-go tool that has a tolerance of .0025". It's a go, so I know the...
