The Jalopy Journal
I think it was a combo of the accelerator pump and the massive amount of crap at the bottom of the bowl...
Problem solved! I did fix the problem, and have a new fuel system to top it off. New pump, lines, filter, pressure gauge and rebuilt carb for 80...
It looks like the accelerator pump may be the issue, it squirts some but very very weakly. On the plus side I found a 30 foot spool of new hard...
Sorry it is the rochester 2 barrel, with a powerglide. I'll have to check the accelerator pump first thing in the morning. I did pull a bunch of...
Oh yeah, it is the OG 283 (w/HEI)/auto, single barrel. The only strange thing I've found is that the TV rod/cable is not hooked up, but it is all...
So I picked up a 1960 Bel Air a couple days ago (pics coming soon!) and drove it 60 miles home with no problems, I started up a hill a mile from...
I was wondering if anyone planned on making out to the swap meet in Los Lunas (Albuquerque) this weekend. The weather i supposed to be great! I...
Thanks, thats all it's made for. Cant wait to be driving it!
It's been a while... Should be on the road next month. Really just waiting on the state inspection for a vin. Enjoy![ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]...
I'll more than likely strip it when I get back anyway. Dont really want to, but I leave in a few days and dont really have the extra time to go...
So I have to leave home for work and I'll be gone for a few months and have to leave my bare metal roadster in a shop until I get back. I just...
I love these caps and have a chance to buy them. The seller is asking a lot. If its worth it ill drop the money. All said and done I would have...
It's been a while since I updated the build. Filled in the wheel wells, fast Eddie here in albuquerque does killer sheetmetal work. The exhaust is...
We all know that Speedway has done some great things for the hobby, no arguing that. There are also some great parts that they sell for killer...
http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Universal-Pull-Type-Ignition-Switch,2369.html Pulled it out of the box, wired it up and pulled it and the knob...
I should have kept it, or I'm going to make some new mounts and from here on out they are verdure mounts. Just keeping everyone on their feet.
wow that made no sense...stupid phone. Meant rear shackles and beefier mounts. But verdure mounts sounds cool.
Here is where I'm going with mine. I already have some changes to make like tear shackles and maybe verdure mounts. Sent from my DROID device...
Thanks, that is exactly the support that is needed. As mentioned before, these are the experiences that will ultimately outlast some skills. We...
Thanks for the opinions guys, not really what I was looking for. It is not that there is a lack of a plan, it was just not fully disposed and I...
Thanks for the driveshaft ideas guys, I'll give the shot. As far as the dormancy issue, motor and trans have not been run in about a year, but...
mainly worried about the pissing of trans fluid
So I have been running wires on my '29 for the last 3 days and I think it's finally ready to test. I've done all of the pre checks on the...
Great ideas guys! This is the input I needed, right now its really just a pipe dream, I really like the soap box derby idea. The intent was not so...
I would like to get some feedback from the community here. I know for myself and just about every person on here that cars have had a huge impact...
Yeah I thought about zoning and I'll have to look into that, but many of them already have showers. Plus they are way cheaper than I thought, a...
Good to hear! The way I see it, I spent most of my time off work with my hot rod anyway. Plus I can start working on other guys cars here and...
The baseball card in my spokes....
I've been looking at moving for a while now. I'm building two cars out of a single car garage right now...I started checking craigslist and...
