I believe in getting there early. I'll get there around noon tomorrow.
I've seen them plain, with the aforementioned 52 58 cast on them, and with OLDS cast on them.
Okay, maybe now we can go another two weeks before the points vs. electronic battle flares up again! It's like a political argument; neither...
When I worked in a parts store that also had a machine shop in one end of the building, someone bought a rebuilt 350 for their '72 C60 truck,...
What I found interesting is that the very first teapot (or haystack, if you prefer) that was factory equipment on 1953 Lincolns is the only one...
[ATTACH] Yeah, I'm pretty sure that my 1959 Fenton catalog shows one.
Plus, I had a set years ago that had 52 58 cast on the side to designate the 1.8 ratio.
...and since they were so popular in their time, there's still more old speed equipment floating around for them than any other early (pre-Chevy)...
I bought several Saginaws over the years for next to nothing, usually from the guys who said, "it's just one of them Vega transmissions".
They were made in both 1.5 and 1.8 ratios, for the '49-'51 or '52-'58 engines.
Luckily, the rain was much slighter than originally anticipated for today. Now, it's supposed to rain around 11:00 or midnight, which is a...
From 1962-64.
Dropping the tank out of my '53 wasn't a big deal; in fact, it has a 1/8 pipe plug in the bottom that allows you to drain it first.
...and they were all recalled when it was discovered that driving in close proximity to a radio station made them whack out. I wonder who the...
If you like the looks of small air cleaners, buy a couple K&N filter elements for them. A friend had a '39 Ford coupe with a stock 59A in it,...
No, but the "chrome " wheels on the rollover are stock wheels painted silver.
It would have had an AFB from the factory, which is what design Edelbrock carburetors are based on...and who the hell over the age of 10 throws...
Funny...that's exactly what happened with my first '53 Chevrolet. One morning I was slowing down for a red light, and it quit. Turns out that...
People always talk about "splash oiling" Chevy sixes as if they're a Briggs&Stratton lawn mower engine, but it's more complicated than that with...
You can use the 216 valve cover on the 261 by using the early retaining studs.
Yeah, sometimes they just jump into my wagon on their own.
Bought me a pile o' carburetors. [ATTACH]
I'll be there from Tuesday afternoon through Friday.
Yeah, after a very mild winter, it's trying to make up for it with two out in the bottom of the 9th.
What was the result so far as driving it?
That's an interesting adapter on the rear dump. It converts the '37-'48 straight down outlet to the '49 and newer angled outlet.
Believe nothing until you get the stamping numbers from the topside front of the blocks. Just like every sbc is out of a Corvette, every hemi is...
While the block pattern is the same as Olds and Pontiac, this adapter only has a starter bulge on the passenger side, making it Buick specific.
The first passenger car in the U.S. to come with a 327/2 bbl. was a '67 Camaro.
I've only seen one small ad in the back pages of a 1950s Hot Rod magazine advertising a finned aluminum valve cover for straight eight Buicks....
