Hey guys...thanks for the comments. All is well in Chapel Hill. I've been working on a 65 Mustang fastback for the last 5 years. Looking to be...
Hello to anyone who may still have my build thread followed. Got a cool message on facebook last week from the current owner (Brad) that Holley...
As far as the heater goes, I think a lot of heaters were dealer installed options, so there are many different types on the same year trucks....
I had the original heater, but didn't reinstall it. It was in place and did work before I pulled the truck apart for the hemi swap.
I tried to find the name of the place I bought it in my old emails, but no luck. It's a piece that's meant for a mid-50's chevy truck. Search...
Thanks Bill. Exactly what I needed! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
I have the Rebel gauge harness and have a question about the disconnect. Do I jus push the pins in and then click the white connector together?...
[ATTACH] The time has come to move on to another project. My truck is on it's way to Tennessee. New owner has plans to hot rod it a bit with...
The shifter needed to be adjusted. The bolts on the passenger side had come just a bit loose and allowed the bracket to move just enough to...
I have this shifter in my truck. Went to start it and nothing happens...but you can bypass the ignition switch and it turns over & starts....
That sucks. Maybe a torch and hammer could get the extra clearance you need. :) Sounds like you're getting closer to getting it over to a paint...
Not sure about interchange information. I went the easy (but expensive) route and bought a ready-to-run MSD distributor from hotheads for my 354....
Yes...still have it. Probably going to put it into an auction here locally in March (unless I sell it before then). I'm ready for a new project...
Seems to have helped. If feels like it moves a little better and even spun the tire when leaving a light (and I wasn't trying to spin it). Might...
I'd be interested. On all the pictures I've seen in the restoration book the "Job Rated" grill plate on the front of my truck was chrome from the...
I got the MSD Timing Advance kit and changed the springs to get timing all in by 2500 rpms. It seems to be a lot more responsive when I blip the...
I have thought about getting that setup for my truck (if I decide to keep it). Let me know when you are going to install it...I would like to...
Thanks everyone again for all the feedback. I found the paperwork that came with the distributor and it is set to advance out to 4000rpms. I'll...
Can't wait to see this done. We've said it before, but I'll say it again...you have some incredible skills and your eye for design is amazing too.
The dizzy has vac advance and it's hooked up to the base of the carb (the port that is above the butterflies). The other vac port is routed to...
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll dig through my notes to get all the specs asked for. Here's what I have now. Converter - I believe it has a...
This is in my 52 Dodge 1/2 ton (link to build in my signature line). I have an Edelbrock Thunder Series 650 carb on my 354 Hemi. Timing is at...
Hello & Welcome. Don't have any real update. I drive the truck once in a while and used it to move my daughter to her new apartment over in...
I used this piece on my 52 Dodge. The sticker shown in the picture wasn't on the tank. I painted it black so it would blend in the engine bay....
Looks like the stock oil bath cleaner. [IMG] 14" edelbrock base put inside and held in place with silicone sealer. [IMG] [IMG]
Sorry for the bad picture...my daughter took it on her phone while I was driving past it yesterday. Can you tell me what it is? I know it's a...
Got a question about the PCV setup. I'm currently running the following. Behind the intake on the valley cover, I have a PCV valve. That's...
I used the Classic Instruments HotRod series 5" guages. They were a perfect fit right into the stock trim piece. I got the gauges with the...
No kidding. Last week, I did think about figuring out what I put into the project. I have a big coffee can that I've been stuffing receipts in...
6 turns lock to lock sounds about right...I'll check it out on my truck tonight. Wonder if your rear diff is messed up somehow. If the rear...
