Thanks @jimmy six , I think that's probably how this one operates. I do have the sealed oil fill on the other side, with a little breather...
Thanks @jimmy six . There is a PCV valve, though not like one I've ever seen. I took it off when I was rebuilding the carb to clean it out, and...
Hey Guys, I finally gave in to my truck roots and pulled the trigger on a 1954 GMC 354-27. Former fire truck from here in CT, its a flatbed now....
A few years back I bought my OT daily, which is a diesel truck. So, I decided to avail myself of the brain trust for late model diesels on a...
You can watch on your phone, or if you have a smart TV that's connected to the internet, you can download the app right to the TV and use it like...
I keep seeing the mentions of FB, IG and Twitter come up, and I'm kinda scratching my head when I hear that people left here for one of them. I...
Ah, I didn't realize yours had that style cover for the piston, don't think I've seen that before. Is it a regular nipple, or does the vacuum...
I recently had my Mallory flat top apart, also with the vac brake, so I was also digging through the resources here on the HAMB. Best I can tell,...
I was always partial to "Advance Design". I can only imagine how many angry people there were in 1947 because the windshield didn't crank out at...
Another vote for the vintage green lines. [ATTACH]
Nailheads are easy to spot outwardly. The 264-425 engines had valve covers that, when looked at straight on, have tops as flat and straight...
No.
Only reason I asked about the filter was because sometimes you'll get a bad one. I run Delco filters and haven't ever had an issue, but some...
What filter do you have on it?
Another nutmegger here - and I don't blame you for trying to get as much info OUTSIDE the DMV as possible. I've actually emailed them before and...
Tried and true steel lines are great, if you've got a good tubing bender and flaring tool. The NiCopp line is a dream to bend and flare, but...
Let me be the first to say that I think its awesome you're using an SM465. I hope you're keeping that visor, too.
I believe it, same as a casino. Care for another vodka tonic to help loosen that wallet of yours up? Coming right up, on the house!
I kinda don't pay attention to the prices, if only because of the amount of Tito's being poured out in that tent. The more you drink, the more it...
Echoing the replies of others - get it going as cheaply as possible (which still won't be cheap) and then start turning it into your vision. When...
I think at this point, were I you, I would put some UV dye in the oil, make everything hospital clean, then run it, and hit it with a black light....
I suppose now would be as good a time as any to do the cam, if it's already on your to-do list. You'd just have to pull all these same parts off...
10 degrees sounds like the timing chain is all done, and if it stretched it may have jumped a tooth. I don't think I'd try to run it like that....
Any updates @xlobsterboyx ?
That seemed to be the most common thing, all the expanding and contracting finally caught up with it.
I've got one in my '57, I like it. All the research I did on it said they're fine, but don't expect them to last much more than 10 years. The...
Second (or third?) vote for this. True that the distributor doesn't care where it's sitting, but you might only think you have the rotor pointed...
Another vote from the 'it'll be fine' crowd. I had a '51 Chevy 3800 wrecker once upon a time, and the garage that ran it back in the day added a...
That's the PN you're looking for. There are specialty vendors online you can buy from - VW guys, small engine guys, etc. There seems to be a...
Just did this with my fresh SBC. When my uncle volunteered his, I was embarrassed to admit I'd never heard of such a thing, but it worked great....
Separate names with a comma.
