Bill Hirsch engine paint. This is two coats brushed on. Really flows out well. Not a lot of miles on it yet but so far holding up good. [ATTACH]...
Daily driver. Drive it to work. Drive it to the store. Drive it wherever you're going.
I was helping a guy at work today looking for parts for a '61 Lincoln. He showed me some pictures of it with the rocker panels on the ground...
Drive it until they drag, jack it up and see if it's all four wheels. If all four then check the pushrod from the pedal to the booster, and also...
Would it fit through the vacuum hose/fitting on the base of the carb and if o where did that hose go?
Deep cycle definitely better than a starting battery. They are designed to stand up to repeated deep discharge.
Did the "Expression of Interest. Always wanted to do Route 66, this would be a great way to do it.
Had one on my '51 Chevy pickup I drove in high school. Driving through downtown Iowa City at about 5:30 in the morning (it'd been a really good...
do a search for ceramic spark plug boots. Pertronix makes them, maybe some other companies. I've never used them, but they will take the heat.
Depending on how bad it's stripped you might get by with an oversize plug. These are just a little bigger than the standard plug and are available...
What he said.
Fuel, spark, compression. You're missing at least one. Without some testing and more information that's the best I can do.
one other thing on the choice of pads is the use of the vehicle. If you're doing something that puts a lot of heat in the pads like towing semi...
At work I recommend the ceramic pads for low noise and low dust. Any of the ceramic pads we sell come with new hardware which the cheaper pads...
Modern cars don't have vapor lock because fuel injection runs at much higher pressure. Higher pressure means higher vapor point.
Matching marks on the nut and the pinion shaft, count the turns taking the nut off, replace seal, reinstall nut the same number of turns and just...
That looks a lot like the cars that were on the track when I was racing. Half the field was tri-five Chevys. I'd go do it again but at 67 years...
The purpose of a car is to go down the road. If I'm afraid to drive it there's no point in having it.
I would be with the group that doesn't think it's a big deal. Every time you drive the car the plate is on display. on newer cars every time you...
I've owned a few AD trucks and the factory hoods didn't really fit very good.
Back 40 years ago in my stock car racing days we did it all the time. Just called it "freshening" the motor. Run a hone down the cylinders, check...
Thanks for the info everybody, gives me some places to check.
Looking for recommendations for speedometer repair. I don't really need restoration, just the mechanicals done. thanks
Every car I've seen has the bigger reservoir hooked up to the disc brakes from the factory. And the smaller reservoir for the drums should have a...

That Pontiac would be a blast to get running and do some autocross! Kind of an "Old Yeller" vibe.
I don't have one on anything, but I've sold a bunch of Dorman oil pans at work and nobody's come back and bitched about them. And believe me, if...
Couple years ago I was given a Ammco 4000 with all the adapters. Since then I've watched what they sell for just for the heck of it. Asking prices...
Holy crap, I got in!
I've got no problem with them but I don't see where oil pressure and temp do you much good for tuning. Tach/dwell meter and a vacuum gauge would...
