I saw this about a month or 2 ago, Randy took us over to see it. It looked really good then, but WOW it finished out nice. Not that I'd expect...
I'd check the fuel and oil pumps. I once had a 289 ford drop apiece off the fuel pump spring. It somehow made it through the pickup screen on the...
The kickdown or throttle linkage shouldn't prevent it from going into gear, but if it's unhooked and left at one end of it's travel or the other...
Another problem with rotating calipers from the factory location is the bleeders vent from the top of the cavity in the stock location. If moved...
That's probably the best you can do, short of tearing it down and replacing the cam and lifters again. Time will tell if it damaged them.
The running at 2000 rpm is to break in the cam, it helps get the lifters spinning so they don't wear in one spot. You could still do the break in...
You may want to pull the carb and check where the washer was, I've seen where a carb was tightened down on a return spring and it left a groove in...
I think any varnish or urethane that is exposed to sun and weather will fail over time and need to be sanded down and redone from time to time. An...
It looks like a 26-27 frame, judging by the rear crossmember sticking out past the side rails. The wire wheels for a t are 5 on 5" bolt circle and...
I think you may be right on the T bucket going to LeRoy. The 27 roadster in post 8 was built by Terry K with a nova 4 banger in it . I think it...
Only if your cam is completly flat on every lobe!
One thing to consider is that the hydraulic pressure is the same everywhere in the brake system. So if you have 1000 psi pressure and your small...
Some cars had a circuit breaker built into the headlight switch. This would give you intermittent headlights to get you in off the road if you had...

Very nice, clean install, one question though, are those copper brake lines or is it some sort of coating on a steel line? If soft copper as they...
I think it's a real shame to ruin all that alcohol by putting 90% gas in it!
I would try what Fuzzy Knight suggested. If it pumps up like you say you either have too much travel in the shoes, causing it to use all the...
Check out sd codified laws 32-3-64 "titling vehicles 11 yrs or more old with no existing record" It says you need to fill out the...
Go to the dmv website and read through the laws. There are provisions for abandoned vehicle title, but if it came from out of state that probably...
Very likely the converter slid ahead allowing the fluid to leak. Try lifting slightly on the front of the converter and rotate it, while pushing...
If your switch pulls out 2 notches it is like a normal cars headdlight switch. The first notch turns on the park, tail and dash lights , the...
No one else has mentioned it, but your hi and low headlight wires should not be going to the headlight switch. You should have 1 wire feeding out...
The turn signals not working when the parklights are turned on sounds like a ground issue. On the brake lights are you sure you have the rear turn...
It's probably been about 10 yrs ago, 2 members of my old car club had monoleafs break within about a years time. one was on a 35 roadster during a...
It amazes me how many people think that being young and asking someone to sell you a car somehow entitles the kid to your property- and...
If you are talking about the vette mastercylinder with 4 outlets, a friend got one with a pete and jakes frame. The plugs for closing off the 2...
I guess if you want to build the first 32 ford with a sbc that requires 50% of the car to be dismantled to replace the waterpump- then you might...
One other thing to keep in mind is most wheels have a right side and a wrong side to mount from. You want to mount from the side with a straight...
If you look I'm sure one wheel is going forward and the other backwards, the differential spider gears and axle gears allow this with the drive...
The R terminal on the starter only has power when the starter solenoid is engaged, without a steady power source it may fire while cranking, but...
