In the heavy equipment and farm tractor industries, the manufacturers have made deals with the federal government to deliberately obsolete...
I just watched the 1961 movie yesterday (1-8-23) on Roku NHRA channel, so they have it! I'm not sure when it might run again.
Hard to tell from that angle but maybe 70's Firebird or Camaro brakes.
The Foremost brand was also on a lot of the clothes and household items, kinda funny that you could have your wheels and your pants be the same brand.
It seems like solid rod would be stronger but actually tubing seems to be able to withstand the vibration better. As others have already...
Did this engine have a big overbore? Cylinder wall sure looks thin but that probably has nothing to do with the initial failure.
They were used behind the 6.2 liter diesel so those are the pickups to look for.
To answer your first question, yes it is more of an issue with disc brakes. With drum brakes more of the dust simply stays inside the drum until...
After reading this it sounds like maybe filler over bare metal is the way it was done for older style lacquer or enamel and filler over primer is...
I always thought filler should be on the bare metal, so it got more grip into the sanding marks.
I've seen some reports that factory replacement cylinder heads made clear up into the late 30's had the C marking. This would make sense as the...
Have you checked out transmission issues? Vacuum modulator leak or possibly a bad convertor locking up and killing the engine?
Are the rivets loose in the holes in the frame? If so you could replace them with bolts. If the running board bracket itself is weak because of...
I've thought for years about doing this, a great idea! I would suggest also trying to market them to restorers, not just hot rodders, as the...
I don't have the car, just the spring, the axle it was on I believe to be a '35 or '36.
I'm pretty sure that for at least a year or two the ends of the leaves were tapered like that from the factory, I have a spring that looks just...
Wow! I wouldn't change a thing.
[IMG] This thread reminds me of these, every kid had to have some on his Honda 305 scrambler.
I live in a farming area where every farmer owned a truck and I've looked under the hood of dozens of these trucks and I've never even seen a W...
If you have a nice straight rear fender you can use it and the mounting holes to get the panel in the right place. Remember that the fenders...
Rick's was a supplier of Model A parts back in the 70's, located in Kansas if I remember correctly. Rick's started out pretty well, they were...
Eat at least one meal at Westside Drive Inn on State Street, down on the north end of town. Trust me, it's been there since the 50's!
[MEDIA] There is a really good vid that shows some of the locations then and now.
The throttle linkages interchange just fine, the pedal and the bend is just different between the two and it makes the pedal about an inch off if...
Well you have a bit of a mismatch there on parts, 30-31 throttle setup was different than 28-29. The bigger issue is the radiator, as I'm sure...
Maybe intake manifold gasket leaking if the heads were surfaced but not at the correct angle to compensate for the resurfacing.
LocTite makes a bearing mount product for situations like this but I'm not sure it can be used with that big of a gap.
Dodge WWII weapon carriers and later M37's used a 5:38 ratio, ring and pinion could be out of one of those.
They have to be worth $$$$, just as art even if not to actually be used. The name alone would seem to make them valuable.
This is pretty much a trait of Edlebrocks, we have 3 of them, some lose all the gas in one day, others it takes 2 or 3 days. There is one...
Separate names with a comma.
