Pulled a valve cover. bad news. broken pushrod - was able to fish 1/2 of it out with a magnet, bent and snapped off. Have to pull the booster/mc...
I can hear the clicking, but not real loud. Added the mystery oil, been running about 5 minutes. Looks like number 1 is doing well. Virtually no...
350 sbc in my 41 poncho. Hasn't been out in months. Starts and runs with a bad miss. Checked the compression. number 1 and 8 aren't right. 90 lbs...
I have a shifter from a 41 Pontiac. Have no idea if it will work. Do you have dimensions? pics? anyway to tell if it's the same? It has the...
They are much better than their reputation.
I have the shifter column out of my 41 Pontiac. Not sure how much crossover there was back then. Send me some pics, with measurements to...
FWIW, rather than repeat myself from the lengthy post above, I sent a PM in response. We are discussing the exact situation with the 56 wagon....
"That's like the saying that people who can't do something become teachers. It's totally disrespectful. Everyone has their own talents and...
Some people just don't respect tradition. Visited the old farm where I grew up. Damn newcomers put in indoor plumbing.
More tidbits. I finally got around to redoing the booster. managed to fit a 9" dual diaphragm booster from a 95 camaro in there. NOW I have power...
my trailer queen. 500 caddy- th400, yet to see a trailer it couldn't pull. .
What's your "acdeptance" level. You know exactly what (and how well) the work on the stude was done. What about the ford? If you do "keepers" this...
Uncles are great. About 1955 one of my uncles would drive from Faribault MN down to Texas to pick up Black Diamond watermelons for Prinzings...
I'll try to help. In our 28 we cut the firewall back 4 inches, barely got the fan in. Did you do something similar? some questions .... Total...
1972, sold my 69 vette, so I could handle a bigger house payment. 1978, getting a divorce, so I sold my "toys", a 1960 XK150 drophead Jag, and 63...

My son's 28 with a 4 " chop. He's 6'1", visibility is good, except at the stop lights.
Just a follow up. Thanks to all the advice here, I got it done. Checked the tubes before and after, no issue at all. HAMB RULES
Now that it has been 2 years, I do have some follow up comments. The installation worked fine. I also added power rack and pinion later. There are...
You guys make it sound as easy as I thought it was, untill I started asking questions. That's what I get for being on a "non HAMB" site. lol.
I have a wire feed, with argon, that my son is pretty handy with. Good enough?
This is encouraging. Yes I have new perches. Can I just drain the fluid, or will the residue catch fire? Obviously I did not think this through.
I bought a GM limited slip rear end for my stude project, thinking I would just move the spring perches. (never done this before) Now I'm getting...
I feel for ya. Just went thru it on a 54 ford with a 500 caddy. I'd suggest a systematic approach to identify the cause. I use a candy thermometer...
I'd have to go digging, to be sure. But as I recall, it was 3/8 in. Just enough to clear the flange on the timing chain cover cause it straddles...
Wow. it's been 2 years, but seems even longer. Been running that setup so trouble free i dont think about it anymore. DRuss32 - That was a...
Our rod has a super bell dropped front axle (from the early 80's) with disc brakes. The spindles are 49 era Chevy, the calipers are 65-70 VW, but...

My .02 for Texas. 41 Pontiac, 54 ford pickup, 28 sedan hot rod. Nothing but thumbs up. Can't keep up with the inspections stickers, never been...
Not familiar with the 51. It fit OK. Sits too low for the engine fan. Too close for a big monster fan, thus the dual spals. Previous dual row...
