1956 Hofner 12-string jumbo acoustic tuned to DADGAD, and an old Silvertone electric with strat guts and alot of fretwork of my own. Its tuned to...
I really like them too, but good rebuildable cores are getting hard to come by. And you have to have a light touch rebuilding them. One ham...
I like them too. Summit has reintroduced it as a house brand. I can't vouch for it because I have not tried one, but they probably are a good...
Yeah stock or pretty mild. If it makes less than about 13" hg the Carterbrock isn't very stable. The fuel regulator really helps for fuel, but it...
Thats a good point. My favorite Holley is the 750 DP I have had forever with the downleg boosters. Its is without a doubt the best carb I have...
One more thing on an Edelbrock that helps alot with percolation and draindown is a regulator. I have an electric fuel pump and a regulator set to...
They both have their strengths. An Edelbrock needs to have the top pulled and a couple of adjustments made. I set the floats square at 11/32"...
"Jasper remanufactured engine, just 2 yrs old with 20,000 miles, great condition, hear it run." 60 mile drive, dusty, greasy, no air cleaner,...
My aftermarket 750 Carter AFB top (Federal Mogul made by Weber) needed a little dressing on the front of the air valve weights, about 1/16" and a...
BTW, a 302 with 351W heads will only be about 8.5:1 CR, unless you use popups. AFR 165's World 185's with the 53 cc chamber are a better choice....
Maybe this will answer your question? This a 900 hp 585 ci Cammer with a C4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDJ_ZMP6JCo Or how about a NHRA...
Randy Malik is a smart dude. I like reading his stuff because you don't have to wade through a lot of BS to get to a point, and if you have...
Yep, I am on Bruno's forum mostly. I have a thread going on TFI ignition and adapting it to hot rods in various ways. Dave and his whole...
I read alot about guys who you don't want to do business with , but I want to flip it around. If you live in mid-Missouri, in the hills,...
Yep. And man they sounded good. Especially with a big cam and a bunch of compression. I used to get excessive noise tickets sometimes. When...
I have to agree with you there, those old round can Thrushes just bolted to a set of headers, or run at the back and out in front of the back...
Always brethren. I am glad to hear your story, it keeps my belief strong in the spirit of helping fellow rodders like we used to. So many...

Bruce, My condolences to you and your family, may your grief become solace, and eventually peace. I will be making a contribution to the...
Loose rockers on their shafts can kill oil pressure. I bought a new set of adjustavle rockers and shafts from TRW and found them way too loose....
Just in. Jay Brown has been declared the winner of his class on bangshift.com with a 5-day average of 9.53 for Hot Rod's Drag Week 2009. Read...

That's a good idea. Most of the aluminum guys in my neck of the woods are running 360/410 Sprints and A/B Mods. They are hooked on the aluminum...
I learned how to build hoses from my uncle when I was about 8 yrs ols. He worked in the Locomotive Shop at Frisco Railroad. AN was all he used...
Big Chief here on the HAMB could likely be a good bet on either doing it or knowing someone in the area who can. You might send him a PM.
That's what I run, and never had a problem, running -8. My Holley Blue pump is 14 lbs, with a regulator set to 5. The volume is there and theres...
Truth. That fitting will corrode like hell. Hard anodizing is important. PTFE interlined fuel line is good too, it has cut down on...
Stainless is best. The cheaper AN fittings may be soft anodized. The aircraft ones I have used had been hard anodized, but you are only supposed...
Thats what Holley did with their new HP125 and 150 gerotor electric pumps. They are clear anodized billet. It is why they are rated for...
Actually the anodizing is what protects them from the fuel. Bare aluminum will corrode and flake eventually. Hard anodization is the only way...
