If it's ready to start you'll find out pretty quick if it was properly installed
Pull the side cover off and remove the lifters that are causing the problem. See if they are worn down.
There is quite a bit of carbon in vacuum hose, cheaper than a spark tester. Been doing it for 30 years when GM went to DIS ignitions. Try it for...
Rather than pull wires so you can shock the shit out of yourself put a short piece of 7/32 vacuum hose between the plug wire and the distributor...
The Explorer kit uses a drum brake inside the rotor for an e-brake. No problems adjusting.
Ford makes a kit that uses Explorer rear discs and calipers that is a bolt on deal and works great.
Try measuring the voltage drop on your negative cable. Should be close to zero. Check the positive also Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Great build thread, beautiful car!
A great story behind the car and a great start to your build. The trestle in the background is way cool too. You can't go wrong with the LS engine...
Looking good, the tires really aren't outside as far as I thought they would be. Keep the pics coming!
I like the idea but you will get blasted for engine choice at the very least. I raced late models for 20 years and the only concern I have is the...
I have one of these on my 41 Chevy, it just pulls off has a snap ring around the inside of the center button for interference fit and then 3...
The compressor would have to be engaged all the time to run a fan off of it, I'm not sure how you could put a fan on the end of a compressor anyway

The OP said he used Comp Cams break in oil, I don't see where he changed cams.
That's a later Fleetline...
Maybe I'm seeing things but the rod cap in #138 looks very rough on the surface where it meets the rod. It seems strange that they would have to...
Trans needs to be rebuilt
Whereabouts are these located?
Too bad it's a decent magazine.
X3 on the Chassis Engineering bar....pretty much bolts on. The splined bar setup you like is expensive and will require some fabrication and there...
I converted the shifter on my 41 Chevy to work with a 4l60e transmission with a minimal amount of work, modifying the stock pieces and using a...
Nice car you should do what you want to with it....I vote for chopping it and making it a hotrod! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
An absolutely outstanding build, can't wait to see more! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I would bleed both to be sure all the air is gone.
Power steering pumps have been run off the rear end on circle track cars, although not much anymore. Rear end cooler pumps were run off them as...
Nice looking car!
A 98 S-10 doesn't have a 2.5 4cyl, it's a 2.2 liter. Earlier S-10's definitely have 2.5 engines in them.
Some pics might help, Aeroquip, Earls, Fragola all have NPT to AN fittings then you'll have to determine what angle fittings needed to hook...
