I'm just looking for a 2 series carrier. The 7.65 inch rears came in more than just the S10. The housing has been modified quite a bit, so a gear...
Great thread.
Hello everybody! I have a rear end out of a '91 S-10 pickup under my '53, I would like to change the gears to 3.08s from 3.42s. I'm having trouble...
It's the switch. I ran a 16 ga. jumper from the battery to the positive coil terminal and it fired. Just like Vic and the rest of the guys said....
I'll post an update after dinner.
Thanks, guys. I hadn't considered the switch, because the starter turns over and that means it's good right? Nope. Gonna hot wire it right after...
Hello! I've got a small block chevy that won't get spark. I changed the carb and intake and now I can't get more than two sparks on my tester when...
I'm working on it! We'll be there, hopefully in the '53 Willys that's in the photo on the left,
Cool Willys. I've never seen one like that. In fact, I've never seen one of any make.
The mysterious "frame serial number" I've looked for these on every car I've owned, restored or cut up. I've never found one. I think it's a myth.
Yes. That will be used on my future projects. Good Job!
I used his cooling tricks on my O/T car...it worked just the way he said it would. When I'm stumped, I go to the bookshelf and grab one of his...
Use search function here on the HAMB. It helped me solve my cooling problems. There's a lot of bullshit being spread around about cooling systems,...
Kurt's first car vs. Ford Bronco rear bumper. Ford wins....but I was distracted by a leggy brunette I had a crush on at the time, so maybe it's...
I bought the HF kit. Works great. Make sure the metal is clean before you weld on the studs. Don't grind much metal off the panel or it will be...
I have a 200-4R in my Firebird and love it. I wouldn't think of running #.70 gears and 26" tires without it. I have a TH-350 in my Willys with...
Take it down to metal and do it the long way around. Mixing different types of paint can lead to peeling and other paint problems. You've got a...
I've done the same thing many times. I will do it again in the future. I feel dumb when I do it, too. Somebody should start a support group.....
I like light blue. Nothing kinkier than a kick-ass rod painted the "wrong" color.
Sure, Rub it in. It's going to be -14 here in Minnesota tomorrow morning.....hope y'all have a good time.
Save a cupful of that broken glass to shove up the ass of the prick that did it. Just thinking that some shithead needed to break your window...
variety makes life so much more interesting.
The performer manifolds are still cast with enough metal to put on a fill tube like a 283. I took a hole saw and cut the hole in the front of the...
Those look like post war units, probably off an Aero. That would be 52-55. They might be off a Jeepster, but I think those look more like the...
If you've never driven a chopped car, or taken a ride in one, do before you chop. I have trouble seeing out windows on chopped cars, and if you're...
I used to be a metal plater. Anodizing a carb would be a real pain due to all the passageways and blind holes. It might stop or slow the...
Mine...line up and you'll get a nice look at them!
Patience...any build is going to require lots of time and frustration, some stuff will work, some things take four or five tries before you find a...
I caught a case of stinkfinger in my Grandpa's barn when I was a teen...now THAT's a barn find! Nice car, by the way.
Love them / hate them.... see above advice...
