If you find a 25-spline yoke to match your transmission, I wouldn't hesitate to run it. As I said previously, you'll break the tires loose before...
Sounds like a plan on boxing/x'ing and the 8". Have you looked into whether another toploader output shaft with the splines you want will...
A 401 in a '33 Chevy coupe traditional build won't require a heavy duty manual transmission. Not being sarcastic, the car will never get enough...
SOLD - I have a Holley 26-25 carburetor banjo swivel fuel inlet fitting for sale. New in an opened package. Never installed. Includes the fitting...
Welcome to the '40 coupe club. Since you already purchased the coupe, I won't comment on your buying price and how much you spent on the donor...
The panel is fastened down both sides and across the bottom with rivets and via the top corner brackets with either rivets or machine screws. Did...
I'm not sure what you've done to the block so far, but you'd be wise to have the machinist do a proper sonic testing before buying pistons and...
I wish you had started this thread before having it rebuilt to get more info. The ST400 is darn near identical internally to a TH400. Most...
No issues there. Those breaks are common casting flashing on a 64 - 66 ST400. Buick nailheads and ST400s are notorious for having terrible casting...
I can make that happen.:p

You've been doing a fine job with the period photos, so keep it up.:) You're the only person who has said anything about the thread being...

Bump
I know what you mean about buying online to bypass the phone hassle. I'm with you on that when I can. The problem with Centerville is most of...
Yeah, only you'll pay a heavy price of having to listen to Russ drone on and on about how many years he's worked on nailheads and how everyone...
You're telling me a digital multimeter with low batteries will read steady for tens of minutes on end with the engine off, coincidentally start...
Thanks. I'll give that a try next time. Sure enough, an analog meter cleared up the confusion. With the engine running, I'm getting a steady 14.5...
Highly unlikely it's the components. I checked with one brand new points distributor, one freshly rebuilt points distributor, and one used but...
The volt function on my unit for setting dwell gave up the ghost a while back. Dwell still seems to work, though. I'll order an analog meter this...
While I appreciate all the responses, I've already clarified all the grounds are good. In the current state of diagnostics, there are two grounds:...
I've been chasing down an electrical conundrum that I figure I'll share here in the event others have run across a similar situation. In trying to...

-SOLD- I have a brand new, still in the box Champion aluminum radiator for a 1939 - 1941 Ford car with Chevy ports. I've included a photo with...
My vote is for an Olds, Pontiac, or Caddy over the nailhead, but it depends on what you consider hot rodding and what you want out of the engine....
I'm resurrecting this thread to address some misinformation and add supporting evidence to what others have said since the thread is the first hit...
