I have four Brown & Sharpe 6" dial calipers that I bought from the '70s through the '90s. The B&S suit me better than Starrett or Mitutoyo and a...
Wasn't the 425 an Olds engine? Or, am I remembering something else?
Or, if you know someone with a good, high-res 3D printer, you can print the exact style and size you want from a variety of materials and bond it...
Or try Manton http://pushrods.com/. Smith Bros. or Manton, either one.
Nice job, Ryan. Looks great! Thank you.
I like B best, then C next best.
I've seen it done with acetylene. The tire store owner who did it knew what he was doing but still didn't like doing it that way. He'd tried...
Put a tube in it.
Great article and well deserved, Brian. See ya there on Wednesday. Dave Pace
I'll be there driving the Back Yard Guys top fuel car. Flying in Wednesday and flying home on Sunday. Stop by and say "Hi." Dave Pace
When we switched from a 6 to an 8 on a top fuel car in the late 70s, I had to machine three 6:71 manifolds to accept the larger opening of the...
My granddad's '55 Chrysler Windsor two door hardtop.
Yes, thanks very much for the chart. Now, if I just knew what's a Chrysler A-body, B-body.........:D
I agree, it doesn't look right to me, especially after 2000 miles and three oil changes. I'd bet there's more of that stuff in the bottom of the...

That's true for registration/title, but not for safety inspection. I've been getting all my inspections in another county for at least the last...
I saw Eddie push start this car and make a "run" on a rural road near my house one evening. First dragster I ever saw in person. I was 10 or 11...
Right, like here in the frozen tundra of Texas.:D:D:D I use 50/50 in everything.
Heads up with a pro tree.
As I remember, the "semi-hemi" was the BBC, also. Could be wrong, but that's what I "think" I remember.:D

It's a fairly rare unit these days, especially since it has the belt drive pump with it, but it's in rough shape. I'd offer $150 or so for it as...
I had one installed in a 2005 model car two days ago, and labor was $100.00.
Seems like the old Chrysler wedge Hilborn I had was actually two separate pieces that bolted to the heads, not a one piece manifold. I think the...

Looks like sintered iron inserts which is probably not the best idea for street use. In the 60s and 70s some experimented with this sort of...
