Looks like an 8.2 to me as well.
Strange, based on the direction of the twist, it appears to have deformed during tightening not the more common (to me) loosening. My answer is...
"Since I have a new crossmember installed, can I cut out the old one? It is heavily riveted to the frame so I wanted to cut it away along the...
American Graffiti was a documentary not a movie. It doesn't get more "real life" than that ;)
Yep ... if you already own a good 350.
When I converted my car to 12 from 6 volt I kept the 6 volt horn (38 Olds) .... man could that sucker sing :D
I added a third brake light. Took it from a Dodge Neon (wreckers) if I remember correctly. Cut a slit in the body and flush mounted it like on...
There was a post a while ago about a suspected bad wheel bearing (I believe that was what it was initially thought to be) but it turned out to be...
I absolutely agree with the above statement. I will also add that if the problem was between the cam and the block, the bend between the fuel...
One end contacts the cam the other end contacts the fuel pump. Between those spots the rod contacts/rides in/is guided by the block itself. The...
I too would love to learn how you located it :)
If it was me, I wouldn't just talk to them, I'd grab a torque wrench and show them who's boss :D
Definitely look up the entire story on this car. Phil claimed he never sold it/gifted to anyone and wanted it back. There's also a very strange...
Although the pic below may look better to some, a toque is much warmer for our North American winters :cool: [ATTACH]
Toque ... I like to try different ones on until I find one that fits me well. What those specs are differs from person to person ;) [ATTACH]...
I have to respectfully disagree. I live in Toronto area (Ontario Canada) and have only ever used the vinyl tube. This includes my present...
I had the windows open at an outdoor car show and strangely enough my ashtray door opened and the insert "fell out" when I wasn't around. I don't...
I guess this is also a day any owner of the oddly optioned 426 Hemi AMC cop car gets to celebrate too :) I know they're legit, I saw one in a...
Yep ... what he said.
The quote above should be viewed as an absolute requirement :) After working with this stuff, I will NEVER go back to steel line. It is so...
Used to be a girl in my high school with the same name. I never understood why .....
;):D
Good to hear :) When you said "I pulled a decent set of old school ones" I thought for sure you meant you pulled them from a block, not from the...
"Skip forward to today, took it apart to check everything, good we did, looks like at the end of the day someone cleaned up their work area and...
I honestly have no idea what you mean by "minimal expansion". What expands? Also, your earlier sentence almost sounds like you are removing cam...
I bought a dedicated SBC cam bearing tool off eBay and it has worked perfectly. It doesn't use just one size "donut", it came with three in total...
What's the reasoning behind using a hydraulic clutch in this application? Reason I ask is I am assuming the factory stick cars had rods and a...
Yeah, that's the stuff I was picturing in my mind. Although I agree that it is somewhat similar to fiberglass, I just don't think that's what it...
Are you sure it is fiberglass? I am picturing a heater box in my mind and I couldn't say positively that it was made of fiberglass. Just saying...
Mother in-law stepped in some dog crap. Father in-law simply asked "did it hurt"? No injuries and nothing that can't be fixed may not make what...
