Lol...cuz I was 10. I remember there was a roasted almond stand there right by the grandstands every year. The owners would give me and my buddy...
I think the "Fiesta of the 50s" might be it! I remember it being at the fairgrounds, and us camping there!
So...I was just thinking about this the other day. I think I may have been around the age of 10, so about 24 years ago. Growing up in and around...
I just worry about catastrophic failures in the middle of nowhere...
Definitely! I'm actually originally from Flint. My buddies have never been though. My brother lives down in Sterling Heights. If it saves money,...
Gah! I forgot about that stigma....
That's kind of what I'm thinking too. However....if gas happens to jump back to $4 a gallon.... oof. Still cheaper though. Plus blasting through...
True. All of my quotes so far have been pretty astronomical. As far as iffy....1400 miles and almost 5,000 feet of elevation on 50 year old cars...
Hey guys... I'm posting this WAY ahead of time, trying to figure a few things out, and get some other opinions. A couple of my buddies and I are...
Anybody know if a Holley 4412 will work for a 241 Hemi? This Stromberg is driving me nuts...
Bumping this back up. Need it gone so I can work on my Buick...

True barn find Dodge. Asking $3500 OBO. I found this car out in Sterling. It had been in storage since 1968!! Brought it home, and rebuilt a lot...
Little more adjusting and tweaking. Still seems to be running too rich, and falling on it's face/stalling out when I put it in gear.
It's the stock carb. Stromberg Bendix WW. 3-105. I adjusted the float back up to about 3/16". Then my battery died. So...I'll try again tomorrow.
If anyone in the Denver area could come school me, I'd gladly buy beer and pizza. And probably throw some cash your way too.....
I can't get this 241 to run right.... Starts up pretty easy and will idle alright. Seems like turning my idle screws doesn't do a whole lot...
Well....on the driveway anyways. And about 3 houses away once.
Here's a few more pics. This weekend I'm gonna do some more tweaking, and possibly detail it. Time to get 40 years of barn crud out/off of...
New wheels or some caps are definitely on the short list!!! Just that one wheel is the oddball. I can't stand it! I'll post up a few more pics...
Thanks guys! Honestly, it was a pretty easy project from the start. The car only has about 62,000 on it, and had sat in storage since '68. So...
So...I really haven't put a crazy amount of time into this project. School and work keep me plenty busy. I've had this car for about 13 months...
Well, I took everything back apart again. The bypass hole was plugged so I cleaned that out. Did a thorough cleaning again and everything seems to...
Thanks Jim, I'll clean the ever-livin' crap out of it again! That diagram is definitely helpful!
So I'm trying to get my 54 Dodge Royal rolling. After completely rebuilding the master and bench bleeding it, I got it installed and began to...
I should add....the core was bone dry when I pulled hoses.
So I realized the other day that my temp gauge wasn't working (54 Dodge with a 241 Hemi). Decided it was time to fix that before I got her out on...
Hey buddy! It's Stu!
