I have an el-cheapo 3/4HP bench grinder... I think I paid $25 for it and the stand. It was cheap and a no-name, but it works just fine and is...
Yep, look at the axle hubs. 28 spline have an hourglass sorta deal cast into them, the 31 spine has 3 round holes in a line.
How about something like this? Just fab up a little bracket outta some scrap steel and you can stick it where ever you need. These are what...
Hell, I just was thinkin' about it and I got the tranny that I pulled that matched all that shit just taking up space in my garage. It's an FMX...
Yeah, and the best thing about Fords is any time you buy something based on production year alone, you end up with one of the "exceptions" where...
If it's assembled, Tingler's method is the easiest/best as they look almost damn identical. If it's apart, measure the ring gear diameter......
It looks like the small bolt pattern, but it's hard for me to be sure without seeing it in proportion with something else. I have a BB C6 and it...
I plan on replacing 2 (at least, if I change my mind and go blackwall all 4 I 'spose) Denman WWW 600-16's with some 700s or 750s for the back, and...
Was it featured on that show before or after the AMAZING GAS-SAVING TORNADO that they hock every episode it seems.:rolleyes: I think it's made by...
Man, that looks TERRIFIC!!! I am just hopin' my A looks that nice after I finish the mock-up. Hell, if it looked that good I might just call it...
I would doubt a GOOD designer would have engineer issues... Part of being a good designer versus simply an "artist" is taking functionality into...
I like the idea of a SBC instead of your 6... Sure, the 6 would be fine, but I have a method to my madness. I'd pull it out, swap in a torquey...
I can't tell in your picture, do you have the factory cowl tank removed? Just doin' some thinking.
As an EE, I wouldn't. It's bad practice, whether it's factory Ford or not (I would bet a MILLION dollars that the only reason it is done by Ford...
I'm pretty sure that the Model A wires won't go onto later drums (at least correctly) without a support spacer. The later drums are too large a...
I've got a set of wide 5's for my ride... I've got a set of early 40's Ford backing plates to go along with them. Model A rear end, Model A...
Good point, I guess I woulda underpowered 'em quite a bit. With a little more power they would be fine.:D
I wouldn't run the load of the pump through the switch, it's just good practice electrically to have a relay. If the switch fails with only the...
C = Common NC = Normally Closed NO = Normally Open The NC will have continuity with the common when the switch is in it's normal state.
I got a resounding NO from everyone when I asked about using the 19" counterparts on my flathead powered AV8.
Who do you have your regular insurance through? Have you asked them about it? I have State Farm and have always gotten stated value coverage...
I ran one on a 351C and liked it... I had the plenum divider and it made it a little nicer on the street and made the throttle a bit snappier....
If you move the spring back in relation to the axle, you are extending the moment arm; it will take less of a bump to get an equal spring action...
I as a 25 year old don't see many modern cars becoming as beloved and desired as hot rods, kustoms, and muscle cars. I don't know what stigma...
I have 2 siphon blasters, and yes they do suck... But, considering that I don't hardly ever use it, don't have a big enough compressor(s)(2 in...
Big block/small block is a Chevy thing.... Doesn't really apply to Fords. 351C motor mounts are the same as the 289-351W mounts, as is the...
The article makes good sense, except they only talk about GM's use of monoleafs... Ford STILL used monoleaf springs until AT LEAST year 2000....
I've got at least 10 pairs of Dickies pants/shorts and a few shirts. Some of them came from Wal-Mart, some from other "nicer" stores... Can't...
Almost all the Canon's sold overseas have different names:
I still have a hard time buying it, and will until I experience it.... They can't, period. The exact verbage of the law, taken straight from the...
Separate names with a comma.
