The Jalopy Journal
As long as you have another car to play with in Mi, leave this one in storage. That’s what we ended up doing, albeit in Az and Mi. I can’t see...
68 Lincoln, 365 hp and 500 ft lb of torque.
That’s where I am. I’ll be 73 in three more months, and have come to realize that I will likely never finish even one of my projects, but I am ok...
I think it’s a stretch to imply that interest in only HAMB friendly cars is the reason for the disdain of the first HR quarterly issue. In my...
Posting a list of oils and their composition from almost thirteen years ago is a nice history lesson, but isn’t very relevant today. I would bet...
Don’t be so sure. RTV netted me a free Ranger pickup when the original, never opened Lima four cylinder engine lost oil pressure and grenaded....
Bitterly disappointed. I had a distaste for Pro Street forty years ago, and my opinion hasn’t changed. I usually hang onto magazines, but this...
Back then there were a couple of different axle ratings for the Bronco. The higher load capacity axles likely got the bigger brakes, too.
Speaking from my experience as a diesel combustion development engineer from when dinosaurs roamed the earth, chamfering the edge like that will...
I have a Lokar in the 36 pickup (353/350). It’s fine. I have a “race type”, which requires a secondary operation to pass through the neutral...
I had a 69 Boss 302 and that’s how I remember it. Mine was “upgraded” to a dual point 289 hipo mechanical advance distributor which was an over...
That’s good point. Truck engines operate under inherently different conditions, if they’re used like trucks, then car engines do. The engine...
Flatheads have terribly high specific heat rejection with the way the exhaust ports are routed. On the other hand, heat rejection is a function...
They’ve been on the HD site for a while, but I think they’re actually drop shipped to the store or your house/business from Primeweld in New...
Yea. I’m still stuck where the 289 is THE SBF, and the 302/5.0 is new fangled.
I didn’t buy them. I used to get free “ engineering sample” engine parts through vendors. Miss those days. They must have been long skirts. I...
Boss 302 and 289 share the same rod length. Prod pass car and truck have unique rods, not common with the 289 or Boss.
speed Pro 289 pistons don’t work with a 302 crank and rods. The skirt hits the rod with the longer stroke crank. I found out the hard way. Some...
It went downhill when they pulled the 292, very early in the series. Being a poor college student back then , I could relate to the low budget...
I had a Millermatic 175 transformer machine with the infinitely adjustable potentiometer instead of the six or so position tap., so that’s not the...
That’s how I remember it. After that the 351m and 400 took the place of the FE in pickups, and the FT was replaced by the (379?) small bore...
We built a lake house thirty four years ago, with plans to expand it to a retirement home. A few years later we put up a 32’x54 ‘ building, with...
New reproduction or new? The reproductions are listed some places, but CWMoss confirmed they are listed in the catalog, but not in stock and no ETA.
Broken record here, but Primeweld.
They show up occasionally on the Facebook 35-37 Ford pickup page. Not sure if they’re legitimate or scams, though, and they are usually too far...
And modern muscle cars, Diesel pickups, and more.
That’s a case where the straight up timing gears / chain swap would have cured a lot of ills. Add an aluminum intake, small four barrel, and...
Do a search for car shows in Tucson. Something usually turns up. There’s a Cars and Coffee event off Ina road in Tucson / Marana. It’s near the...
Nope. It’s a modern day version of 90s paint schemes and billet. It’s no more traditional than LS engines and Mustang II suspensions. That...
I recall that the problem of slipping out of park was internal to the transmission, and there was a fix that involved dropping the pan. Someone...
