I agree. It's a Traditional hot rod if there ever was one.
You hit the nail on the head. (but??d.) But.... the performance is questionable, erratic, not really a positive, reliable parking brake unless...
Somebody's home-built roadster.:D
Yep. Figure out what the pumps are worth to you and Man Up in kind. It's Karma.
Have you pulled the rocker covers and checked?
hotroddin; Some people can only follow and apply what others have done. A shorter rack makes it easier, just don't make it the only way. I...
Oh, I'm way ahead of you. Post #25. There's shorter racks than MII. Somebody mentioned Dodge Colt. I'm sure there are others.............
Good point. The long steer arms were built in because the Corvair had a short wheel base. Fix it. As it is with a lot of conversions.
Of course it matters where and how he mounts it. re-machine what? I would fab a mount with the holes in the right places, cut the tie rods to...
Not if he plans ahead and mounts it right.........Shit happens. Some people set up MII good, some fuck it up. I could set up any steering to...
It'll let me know when it needs a tune, if it ain't complainin', I don't fix. Am curious about the compression though. Of course if I do pull...
I prefer 'beam axle too, but OP said he don't, so what's the point?:)
Is the reason your initial plan is to use MII because you already have one? Seems there would be other choices available at junk yard. I got one...
I agree with your analysis. I can't figure out what the diss is about, if it worked good on a Corvair.................. I've reviewed the...
Ha. Staggering enough to quote, instead of a rediculous comparison to what a welder uses? Gimme a break.
Me too. I've tried E85 in my '03 and my '29. They both ran good, with measurured range loss of about four-six mpg. I have friends with bone...
There isn't a car axle that I know of you can't bend with a 10 ton jack and a chain.
Find out where he lives and get even. He don't even need to know who did it. You will feel better.
What porknbeaner said;:D Brake failure ain't a safety issue unless the driver has his head up his ass. Don't tail-gate, pay attention, etc. In...
A long, long, long time ago we used nitrocellulose laquer for the finish coat. When we started using enamel finish coat we just never started...
Use it. The reservoir capacity don't need to be enough that you never have to check it as the pads wear down. Check it at oil change, who don't...
Tying the word 'baffled' to a grommet don't make it a baffle.
I would fabricate a baffle and figure out a way to attach it. Get clues on how to position it from looking at covers with baffles.
Unless the float level is set wrong or the casting is cracked, or the mating surfaces between gaskets/ fittings aren't fucched up, a rebuilt carb...
In a cast block, I would go as deep as possible, without shanking the bolt, presuming the manufactuerer had a purpose in that regard.
'29 and '30 body very similar. '30 and '31 chassis very similar, of not identical. Reasons for changing the chassis in '30 but not the body? I...
Higher priced Excelsiors that last longer, vs lower priced that don't last as............. Kind of a toss-up, eh? If that's actually the case....
You got me thinking. On average I paint one car a year. How much solvent have I used to clean my guns? I'm guessing enough to be ahead, like...
Spray it on right it don't need more. We think alike. The gun? It ain't the gun so much as it's the hand that's holding it. If the...
