Toyota Land Cruisers up till 1980 had the nut on the crank and the hole in the grill (so I hear, never noticed it in the wild)

In Washington its also a permanent plate, no tabs/fee's to pay every year. You just pay your $75 bucks (or whatever it is) and your good to the...

When it got drug home [IMG] And sorta done, looks pretty good from a distance [IMG]
Oh sure, its got a dual carb Offenhauser intake with two 1904 Holly carbs. Not sure on the header, but I think its a Clifford, dumps right about...
Its a 223 out of a '59 pickup.
The dizzy kit won't work with your motor, carb kit might but without more airflow in the intake a different carb won't give you any more...
Have you tried unplugging the alternator? I've heard they do weird things when they fail, even if they are still producing power. After that, I'd...
[ATTACH] I have an Offy, the main problem is getting the linkage set up and the carbs synced, mine isn't done as I currently live 2,000 miles...
Whats funny is that I had the LoadOMatic hooked up to the 2 Holley 1904's on my dual carb intake. Swapped in a 300 dizzy and it didn't seem to...
A built 4bt in a F-1! Be still be beating heart! Rollin Coal in style.
Yep, did the lost title process in WA, need a signed bill of sale, if its notarized that helps, and you want it done on the form that the DMV has....
Lookin good! How much extra HP do you think it makes?
The Timkin axle that the guys get the hubs from are worthless to the guys with that era of trucks. As they have a very low ratio 4.88 or worse and...

Thats a bummer, going to put another 200 in it?
Its got a nice set of headers on it to, those don't exactly grow on tree's. Wonder if its got an upgraded camshaft to suit? They don't have the...
Agreed on the floor, if you look close the bottom of the door is rotted away, this really looks like a car that has alot of rust from salt. If you...
Yep, a bit of starting fluid works good, I've also used a little bit of old gas. Don't use to much, I heard about a semi truck tire that they say...
The gear on the camshaft that runs the distributor is broken or stripped. It looks like that gear is an integral part of the camshaft, so you will...
Just did the swap on my truck, piece of cake thanks to the instructions. You will need a 17/32 drill bit to enlarge the gear from the load a...
Is it positive or negative ground? IIRC on a positive ground 6v car the coil is wired backwards to a normal 12v car. I don't think that you will...
A state issued title doesn't mean that you actually have good title to the vehicle legally. Check out the VIN's on the cars that you have, and...
