Maybe these links should be posted early in each months meeting.

If anyone knows of more, please post them.

 

It's a national holiday.

In the USA not in Poland

 

And in Canada...

 

Thanks for starting the new month and the link list.

Already? I am still cleaning from Speedweek.
Actually not true, cleaning done and repairs started.

 

Thanks for the clickable link. We use to have a big labor day celebration. Parade, train rides. army duck rides and baseball games. All part of the past now. One crane that changed the locomotive batteries had a Model "A" engine that ran a generator to power the magnet. The magnet was used to load scrap metal. Labor day was the last day of freedom. School started the next day.

 

Checking in
Where has the summer gone?
Happy labor day

Lovin' it CDO!

 

so what is your poison......IE.....oil your running in a newly built Hopped up A motor. car should (fingures crossed) be running withing the next week or two...want to put in good stuff but I am hearing different things from the old times that are at my pops shop. wanted the HAMB opinion.

thanks

Joe

 

I use Castrol HD 30. Of course this is in Southern California. I think any good quality motor oil will work most of what you might hear is from people who read or heard too much about zinc and other additives. Good filter is a necessity. I use 20 50 in my later vehicles (97 99). Straight 40 weight in my 74 Hallet with 455 Olds.

 

I'm in So Cal also...

Sent from my HTCONE using H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

Best stuff and Ray is a good guy

I use the Valvoline VR1 in mine 30 weight

 

I just bought a 55 gallon barrel of Kendall 30 weight...still waiting for it to be delivered. I couldn't pass it up for the price.

So whats it goin in???

I got my exhaust/intake plate off BCCHOPIT and got my local exhaust guy to make them,,but i am in Australia ,,
i am almost done on a 3 speed late model all synchro conversion for my sons A coupe ,,AA B/H ,,Jeep T150 top shift,,

 

trouble loading too many pics at once,,,,,

on the left is whats left of the extension housing ,it forms the support for the bearing ,and the steel plate has a raised area on the other side to mate with the clam shell ,,,i cant get the pic to load of the other side of the plate,,will keep trying,,

 

slow process pics arent loading too well ,,,

 

as i couldnt get a F150 O/D over here i chose this trans. its from a 70 maverick for $40 US .shipping and a reco kit added its still a reasonable cost ,,the shaft mod cost $200 at a local machinist ,,he said it was pretty hard,,,its not 5 speeds but it will be an improvement over my existing trans.

 

Matt at gear drive has a real nice lake header
Or you could make your own

I am thinking of using roller bearing style connecting rod instead of drilling the crank
they can be made to suit a banger
the crank needs to be nitride
but they only need oil splash
what do you guys think
