The Jalopy Journal
Yes he did. Freddie was in the car as far back as 1973 from what I can find. Leo Cleary also drove the car after Freddie was killed....
How about Bugs Stevens blue for the headers? I always likes this look on his cars, I know that VHT makes this blue....
This goes for domestic espionage as well. Once the drawings/files are sent to a vendor, they are out of your control. Most places honor an NDA,...
Stand on quite a few NYC street corners for a bit. You can buy a fake of almost any trendy item. Get down by Canal Street and they stand...
Success teaches us nothing. Run into a roadblock, you will find your way around it. Keep your head down and keep pushing. It took us 3 weekends to...
This ^^^. I'm sure that some of us have had run-ins with really crappy rubber products sourced from off-shore. I had ball joint boots crack even...
I compare prices between a few parts houses, many times they are the same EXACT number down to the penny.
I put one in a '66 Nova SS in 1976, with a stout 283 and a 4:11 narrowed Cougar rear. I did some horse-trading for the Saginaw, which came out of...
On eBay they are like fly shit... all over. BUT people crow about how good the cylinder heads, etc are. I have seen the products on TV, online and...
No worries, they will still blow their products out on eBay. They have a huge eBay presence unless eBay mans up and ousts them. I bought a...
A 3/4" master may have helped. I originally dropped the clutch master pivot point lower on the pedal arm.. big mistake. It would require TWO...
I agree with using an online RPM calculator, plug and chug some ratios into whatever formula you have and make the best choice. The 3.79 1st gear...
I found a great ratcheting crimper at Advance Auto Parts. It was like $40 and is very adjustable. I have barrel-type crimp sleeves in my car, all...
I talked with reps from Comp Cams and Lunati before I bought a cam kit. In the end I read reviews on both cams and the Lunati Voodoo was reported...
I hope you are going to radius the bottom of the cut-out.
I was at a cruise night yesterday, should have taken a picture but I didn't. This guy has a '51 Mercury and I'm looking at the tail lights. They...
I would get those cars in where I was working at the time, late 1970s. I saw a lot of GM cars with the upper shock mounts torn out. We made a good...
Did they do a 4-wheel alignment? Now everything comes off the rear wheels unlike the old 2-wheel alignments. On the front, the pull will be on the...
Yeah, this is a tad over the top....
I went by what Wesco recommended for the shoulder mount location. It turned out to be perfect, everyone comments on how good the belts fit. I...
There was a figure-8 driver, he was a little guy, weighed all of maybe 115 lbs. He got into a wreck and the rescue guys went to all the cars...
I use a multi-grade oil like Valvooline VR1. The oil has to flow immediately. I use a 10w-30 myself.
I made them from square tubing too. It pays to work in a machine shop.
I run a 3/4" Wilwood master, probably the same 7/8" Speedway slave you mentioned, also a 32" AFCO hose. That size master and slave I see...
I have 3-point belts in my Ford and they work great. I took my time with the installation. I have made a few hard stops and they kept me in place.
Camaro rears are popular in those cars. Just be aware that rear discs bring another whammy level to the build and drums are simpler.
With it idling, put a hand over the top of the carb, like you were trying to snuff out my stepmother... If the idle picks up, you have a vacuum...
I charge batteries outside my garage, also the car if it needs some help.
I should have looked at cables with my car, I'm running a Wilwood clutch master and an external slave that is working very well.
The wiring was all new at that point. Something was wrong with the fan motor, it seized up for some reason. My BIL looked at the breaker after, we...
