Is this your post over on the ford trucks web site? 1957/63 Ford Truck Parts Catalog / Text, Section A70 ~ Automatic Transmission Tag...
Chrome reverses or chrome slots in the rear. Torque Thrusts, Cragar's, or some other cast spoke rim on the front.
So it was part of the A12 saga. Did they tell you all the work they put into retrieving it and putting it back together? 425 looks good. Let's...
For the sake of accuracy, it beat the Saturn to 60,000 ft (if I remember right) and broke every record set by the MIG25.
Time out partner. I think we are missing an important concept. Kandy is just a tinted clear. You are looking at the base coat. If you use black...
I don't think the longblock was any different; 10.25:1 was a regular 425. It may have been recurved and jetted for the av-gas and headers, which...
The best bet these days for finding a nailhead th400 is under a jeep. They used them up to the mid 70's. [IMG] I used to have one that was a...
PPG 11927, Dupont 1970, 246-58001, 93-58001, Acme/Rogers L1548 From:...
JP7 has an extremely high flash point. I'd be more worried about the TEB they used for the igniter. More info:...
Ask him if this has anything to do with A12(early SR71) Serial #60-06931 that used to be at the NG by MSP on static display and is now displayed...
God do I miss working with lacquer: [IMG] It was so easy. Funny, my daughter is crazy for the 70's and has 'claimed' one of my Skylarks -...
So it was actually a hybrid. Did Reynolds develop this process? Thanks Al for the clarification. I stand corrected.
Wow that looks pretty good inside for 1971. Good news on the movement. You are 90% there. Just keep rocking the motor back and forth with the...
This was another case of GM putting a technology into production prematurely. In an attempt to reduce costs the GM 215's were precision diecast...
Take a good look at the rocker arms on a real nailhead: [IMG] The pushrods go underneath to push on the outer end of the rocker. The valves are...
Now we're talkin'. Want to take this to the nth degree? If you want a rocket, build a rocket. Sorta. So what is the purpose of the...
I would be hesitant to use Greyhound. I used to work for a company that used Greyhound all the time which meant I spent WAY too much time hanging...
But that doesn't mean you won't find one. As a farm kid I guarantee anything is possible. Everbody I knew was a scrounge and fabricator.
I guess he was into trading Post Cards ('PC's). Detroit, New York City, but does 'ST' mean state?
If it's like my 59, inside that switch is also a check ball. Make sure it's not stuck. With the engine off the ball drops down between the shaft...
Chevy also made 5000 BelAirs painted a special gold and sent one to each dealer to promote the occasion. My dad bought one of the 'Anniversary...
Don't look at it that way. Think 'Hot Rod Haiku'.
What works best to dissolve old crystalized antifreeze?
And that's gonna be a while. I moved all the important stuff into my work truck. That's the problem. You could not believe how fast these...
A year long drought and no rain in sight. Coming into the windy winter months I'm afraid this is just the beginning. The Pedernales One fire...
I don't know how many times I heard my dad preach "I told you not to run those d@mn reversed rims...nothing but trouble" after burning up another...
Yep any of the 60's. Front drum on 60's is wider but the rears are the same, so grab the rear drums if you need them.
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/career/take-your-gun-to-work-day/3422 On September 1, a Texas law known as the “guns-at-work” or...
Is that a 'King Snake'? A 'Chicken Snake' here is a 'Rat Snake'. A 6 footer came out from under my truck one morning. Also watched the biggest...
The station wagons' maximum load height can be a problem (I've got 4 different wagons). There used to be a guy in Apple Valley that had a white...
