Ready to hit the road, see you on the other side! [ATTACH]
I already did...thanks for the warning.... and I have Brylcreem in the suitcase already
I think they've seen it already...
The rules don't limit what you can drive. You get more points if it's crappier, there are some values assigned to age, country of origin, and...
no, that's neat! might belong in the race car thread? :)
I did block the exhaust holes under the carb, and added the spacer...just haven't gone for a long drive with it yet. That's tonight, I'm heading...
still waiting to hear from the guys who put 10k+ miles on their car every year, how they deal with fuel boiling/vapor lock, etc :)
Thanks...
I guess when I get to the point that I don't drive them any more, I'll switch over.
Center was used through 1962, mostly. No posi, they used a GMC rear starting in 59 if you wanted posi. As far as I know the Chevys were all coil...
voltage regulators, broken brush spring, commutator bar flew out of one, just the usual crap.
I have a NORS bearing, just in case.
They're starting to build a maverick up by the freeway
I'm not going to use avgas.
I don't know of any that will bolt in, unless you buy a new one that was made for the truck. I always get to do some spring pad welding when I...

how many amps does the compressor pull when it's starting, and there's pressure in the system? My guess is way too much for the circuit you wired...
That's part of the fun of these adventures....but I've only had to sleep in a car a couple times. The Vette shouldn't be any worse than the...

it will come in a bag of enough screws to cost about ten bucks, then there's another 15 for shipping, so the screw will cost you 25 bucks. But...
pretty good summation of the issue. But...the thing about getting it working, and keeping it working, has led me to install alternators in most...
Button head screws are evil, I throw them away and replace them with normal screws with a big hex on the outside. When the driving tool is...
The 429 was the earlier performance version of what turned into the 460, so 427 stuff it totally unrelated and won't fit. Generally a cam swap...
they look almost like 61 Chrysler, don't they?
Spend some time looking at the shifter, make sure the two levers at the lower end of the steering column are moving as they should. It helps to...
It's not at the gas stations I visit, unfortunately.
