I have an off topic C-10 with an off topic SBC 400 with Hooker headers. I had the same type issues with hot starts. I upgraded the battery cables...
Very nice score!
I don't know how I missed this but now I'm following this thread.
Does that mean the red steelies are coming back in style? Sweet!
Don't forget it has different antennas. Maybe that bumps it over to Kustom.
Nice car. Edsel Ranger is on my bucket list.
To the end of my drive way. :) Its down hill and my car isn't running. (Seriously around 250 miles)
Could you shave/mill the head and use a steel shim head gasket to get closer to your desired compression? I figure it probably was built with a...
I bought a Galaxy 500 that had repainted there. Best satin paint job in the area, in other words it flattened out in about 90 days. It was a 3...
Cool stuff. I subscribed. Videoen var interessant og morsom å se.
Wasn't that method of upholstery during the time period these cars were originally designed and built. Probably on higher end cars than the Ford T...
I thought this was a traditional site loaded with how things were... not how things should be.:eek:
Nice score. The smaller cube 260/283 parts may be a little more costly but it's still a SBC so all the same rules apply. Since the pump isnt...
That should work good based on the information you provided. Are you looking for a solid lifter camshaft? Also don't the camshaft naysayers get...
Looking good (except for the Chev orange but its not my ride or my thread :)) It should be a fun, dependable car with that setup.
Thanks for sharing the information and photos.
What's the "core charge" for old lifters...:)
One may be the original car and on a tribute car. You can pick out several differences in the two.
While I don't have a picture of it in my 55 Chevy I mounted the tach near the A pillar and drivers side sun-visor. I never missed a shift light &...
Flexplate on backwards? Happened to my son's C10. Kept going through starters.
Hate to see that. I never had the privilege of meeting him but still a loss in the car scene that goes on in my head. He had a big part, to me, in...
I use halogen bulbs in the taillights. I have tried low cost LEDs without much success. A third brake light would help.
I normally wipe down the master cylinder with acetone or lacquer thinner and paint using black rustoleum. Let it dry for about a week and if brake...
I have an off topic C-10 with a lazy SBC 400 and 700R as a daily driver. 15 to 17 mpg on highway with 2.80-ish rear gears is average for it. It's...
Those headlights though...:eek:
I like the car and camper trailer.
I have used second hand Ford B and E roller camshafts before with new lifters. No issues there but don't know enough about the CompCams roller...
Check the filler tube for leaks when you pull the pan to look for glitter and sparkley things.
49-50 Oldsmobile is definitely on my bucket list. As well as a step down Hudson.
[ATTACH] You should upload this to the photo shop thread and have someone remove that stupid barrel and maybe the telephone pole behind the car....
