The Jalopy Journal
I live south of Birmingham and a few Saturdays ago, after breakfast down town, I found this place. I had always heard of it and went looking for...
Tom Bailey mentioned in one of his videos that Sick66 registration would be March 2, so watch your email if you sent in an expression of interest....
Mig is used in most production welding, even aluminum. TIG is easily controlled on thinner metal but the end product is up to the welder, like...
To minimize welding distortion, I suggest skipping around with your welds. Say 2” of weld every 24” and let it cool to ambient. It will take...
There is a lot of misinformation regarding carb setup floating around. The .015" clearance on the accelerator pump is one of them. That is for...
I have used Yukon, Richmond and US Gear with no problems in 9” , 14 bolt and 12 bolts. When set up correctly, no noise. As for Quick Performance-...
I subscribed to TRJ and Speed and Kulture at the same time. Got my 3rd Speed and Kulture today. Still waiting on my second TRJ. S&K got thru the...
I am a relatively new customer of TRJ having bought the subscription about 10 months ago and gotten 1 of the promised 4 magazines so far, so I am...
I got my 2020 Holiday Guide on Feb. 1. I just started my subscription last year and have received one magazine so far. It was such a long time...
The best solution is to talk to the ring manufacturer and tell them your application and get their response. Another thing to think about is too...
I would RUN from a "builder" that cannot find a problem like that. He is obviously not checking things like clearances...
You might take a look at Ohio Crankshaft. Decent prices for complete rotating assemblies and several to choose from for a 383. I have used their...
Both should be fine in a 327. I would use the Manleys and sell the Crowers- they are worth more. As for H beam vs I beam, I have run an FEA on...
Typically, I listen to Rockabilly Radio over the internet.
Sent you a message. I live near Jemison and Thorsby myself. Rusty
Draft is not required for sand casting as the mold is destroyed in the process. You will have to clean all the sand that adheres to the part off...
Stagnant designs in a dying hobby. Not even trying to stay current- not a recipe for success. Just ask all the stage coach builders from 120 years...
I run an EFI pump with my carb. Works fine. I use a Quick Fuel return style regulator and have no issues.
I got in today. Now just to hope that my back stays happy till then.
Be careful not to over size your fuel pump. While you want enough to make as much HP as you can on the strip, the 250 mile drives with a high...
My thoughts- the torque converter has nothing to do with the heating issue. The trans temp should show any issues with the torque converter, and...
I just finished a 1966 C30 that I shortened and put a LWB fleetside bed on. Like others have said, the rear is easy- swap in a 14 bolt from a...
I had a similar incident with my 305 in an OT truck. I got the same advice you are getting- timing chain. So I spent about 6 hours changing the...
Yep- if you wait at all when that third yellow comes on, you will have a good view of him making a run. Plenty of time to come up with excuses as...
I would check with Towel City or the manufacturer to see what air pressure range you can run in the slicks you ordered. Late January in Gulfport,...
I will have to wait till registration time to make a decision. Job is looking a little iffy. But then again, so is my health. We will see. The...
In Starkville, MS, that guy was Lynn Cook to me. I was friends with his son, Lynn Cook. Back when I was in high school, he built a T street rod...
I will second both the El Rancho in Gallup NM and the Blue Swallow in Tucumcari NM. I have stayed in both and enjoyed the stay. The El Rancho has...
Flagstaff, AZ is right at 7000'.
"If you hate it now, just wait till you drive it." Route 66 is a blast if you like history. I am going to counter Squirrel and say for the best...
