Technically, this IS a two tone orange paint job! ;)
Curly, thats one thing I was wondering. I'm really hoping to avoid running hoses to the manifold, I want to keep it as clean under the hood as...
Chettar, I did use zinc additive, gotta make modern oil slippery! I'll do a compression check and see where we are with that. I don't understand...
Randy, thats just not true. You will find a lot of people that recommend between 20 minutes and half an hour at fast idle, then varied speed and...
Thanks Claymart, thats what I meant. Couldn't remember the right terminology. As a matter of fact, the distributor in not new, and I think it...
OK, I just went out and started it again, nothing different. Now its idling perfectly, been running about 10 minutes with no issues. Guess its not...
This is what my fuel filter looks like, how much fuel should I be seeing coming through it? [IMG]
Its got hydraulic lifters, solid not roller though. I adjusted the valves when we put the head on.
Hey there. I've recently brought a Chevy 250 inline 6 back to life after a rebuild, having some minor issues I thought you guys might be able to...
My son and I have been building a '66 Chevy stepside, build thread is in my signature below. Yesterday we finally turned over the engine, a...
I'm going to try it without it, reading up on it here some people swear you need it, others say you don't. I want to avoid running more hoses and...
I wonder if theres a plexi tube out there that would replace the glass?
Cool. Theres a few little quirks getting everything back together with the new manifolds, let me know if you have problems or questions when you...
I was going to go with the glass bowl type filter too, I really like the way they look, but same as you, just couldn't find a place in the line...
Just double checked, its a "Spectre" brand, I guess its not teh house brand after all. If yo google "Spectre fuel filter" it will come up.
Its off the shelf at the AutoZone, its only mediocre quality but I think it will work. It came with plastic fittings you were supposed to screw in...
Interesting. I was really curoius, you can move a lot of liquid through a 1/4 " opening, but I havn't started this engione since I rebuilt it and...
Thats a cool story. I know what you mean about the radiator shop. Its tough to even find a metal replacement, my daily driver '70 Ford needed a...
Yep, thats exactly what they are. I think, and if I'm wrong maybe somebody can correct me, that they are Weber style carbs manufactured by Carter....
Thats all right,let 48 Chev get his kicks... As for the cracking, I used a rubber line between the fuel line on the frame and the fuel pump to...
Guess I'm not as hard headed as I thought, I redid it in 5/16" and am much happier about it. Thanks for the push in the right direction, guys.
Nice. I like the polished brass radiator too.
To each his own, I guess.
Yesterday I finished running the fuel lines from the fuel pump to the carbs. Initially I used 1/4" copper tube, but after some thought and some...
No work over the last few days thanks to heavy snow and ice, so I was able to get some stuff done on the truck. Its got an inline 250 6 with dual...
57 Heap, yeah I guess I have. Mostly I was looking to see if somebody already knew it wouldn't work for sure. Maybe I'll go down and get 5/16"...
That's kind of what I was thinking. I guess I've got it mostly done, might as well run it and see. If it works, great. If not, I'll make new lines...
I've got a 250 inline 6 with dual Carter Webers on an Offenhauser manifold in a truck my son and I are building. Running the fuel lines now. I am...
Sweet. That Chevelle is gonna scoot with that big block in it!
Nice, looks like its not TOO rusty. I love the blue and whit color scheme, you gonna keep that look?
