The Jalopy Journal
Well, you had to ask. I was concerned the HAMB has become much more strict about content, so I put this build thread on the 67-72 chevy trucks...
So, here I am again. I need these gaskets again and they are hard to find. I found my thread on a google search for the gaskets. I did end up...
I get seat belts from southern rods. They sell the same seat belts everyone does and have a huge selection, at a much more reasonable price....
I would do this too. Gaskets are cheap. Rings and bearings are cheap if you find out early. A cam kit with new lifters, push rods, valve...

I had a funny sound that could have been either trans or rear end. Turns out that my shifter arm was bent in touching my trans and it conducted...
Just drove to Victorville CA and back. First Holley mechanical fuel pump failed at Wileys Well Rd on I10. Second one started to go bad within 50...
