The Jalopy Journal
Thanks, I was thinking of using 2x2 .125 wall box tubing. Sounds like I'm in the ballpark. I'm thinking that, because I have 2" wide springs I can...
Has anyone here added to the back of a Model A frame to use leaf springs? If so, what did you use for frame metal? Thanks, Gene.
Yep, that and the correct taper on the lobes. I had some mushroom lifters done a while back. The guy just made them flat... not happy. Gene.
Good swap meet... parking and traffic are a pain. But, most times it is worth it!!
Do any of you guys know, if these places put the crown on the lifters, or just make them flat? Gene.
Finally got the Jalopy done enough to take it to the Timonium Maryland show. [ATTACH]
A couple of things added. Gene.
To the top... with other parts added.
Chevy II 4banger head (Mercruiser style 3.0) fresh from the machine shop. Surfaced, new valves and srpings and retainers, screw in studs, etc....

Thanks... looks like I'm going to have to double check him on the number... old eyes, you know!
Thanks for the pictures... I will pass them along! Gene.
A buddy of mine has an old B&M adapter. He's looking to find out what it fits. I have a book with listings, but only for Hydro adapters. His looks...
Thanks for the info everyone!! I do like the idea of building a bracket... what's one more?? Gene.

I'm helping a buddy with an off topic build. Small block Mopar and we are looking for a set of headers. I came across a guy that has a set of...
Question... for you guys that have running engines, what are you using as a timming number? Are you setting base or total? Thanks, Gene.
I never had heard about this place. I will log that info! Thanks, Gene
DAH, I know that... but I forgot that quick! Damn... getting old sucks!!!!
Why not Carlisle on Wednesday and Hershey on Thursday? More than enough at both places to see on those days and you are home for the weekend.
Mine is kinda old news now... but here it is. Gene.[ATTACH]
Some of the early Detroit Diesels I worked on had multiple piece pistons.
Ok, same spaces for 32 years. Don't know how many more times I am going to do this, too much like work! Gene.
Are you at Carlisle? If so, stop and see me at A-92. Gene.
Neat picture, '64 Plymouth and looks to be a AMC Marlin in the other lane. Post 3450. Gene.
Don, when I raised the front of my car for the gasser look, the caster went crazy, negative. I built a spacer about 4.5 inches high. Just lucky on...
I use a WWII canteen on my '40. I built a Moonshine still looking one for the Jalopy I'm working on. [ATTACH]
