The Jalopy Journal
Today on the Mecum Auction from Arizona there was a cool '37 Ford PU called the Fomoco Freighter. It was pretty awesome, I'm surprised I haven't...
Well I searched but couldn't find what I'm looking for. I took a Rochester 2 barrel off of a '66 Chevy pickup with a 283 and put it on a 1970...
What's different on a T10 trans, Ford vs. Chevy? I've been looking for a 4 speed to put behind a SBC, and it seems like every time I see a T10...
I have a lever type shock absorber which says Heco on the back. It is super smooth operating and I'd like to find a full set. I'm a Model A guy...
I have a 8.5" 10 bolt out of a 75 Firebird. When I got it apart it turned out to be a 2.41 ratio which won't really work for what I had in mind....
I've been spending quite a bit of time making adapters to put the entire Buick hub, drum and all onto Ford spindles. I have the 59 Buick setup...
Has anyone ever put together or seen a comprehensive chart showing all the different front spindles with the bearing surface diameters, distance...
I see the Lakewood explosion proof bellhousings for sale occasionally, usually cheaper than a stock bellhousing. Are these ok to run on the...
Just like the title says. I know gassers (pretty sure anyway) were required to run fenders. So did they ever run a similar class fenderless that...
Do late 60's- early 70's Buick-Olds-Pontiac manual transmission flywheels interchange or did each make have their own bolt pattern and quirks?...
I know there have been a million threads on coupesters but I wanna go the opposite direction and put coupe roof panels on my 29 sport coupe....
Does anybody have good pics or plans for a T bucket frame made out of round tubing instead of rectangular? The double layer type with top and...
This economy is totally weird. I see more old cars and muscle cars and cool motorcycles and stuff for sale on CraigsList and other places than I...
I have a '65 powerglide out of an Impala. It was a floorshift so the shifter rod went toward the back, and then there is kind of a Rube Goldberg...
Never been too big of a fan of this mag and I'll have to admit I didn't even know who Carrie Keegan was, but this issue is making me a fan of...
Why do people TIG weld DOM tubing? All the specs I see on it they call it a mild steel so it seems to me like MIG should be fine. What I'm...
I'm trying to build an X member in a stock A frame similar to the Dagel's crossmember setup. I haven't nailed down my engine-transmission choice...
I have a complete set of '59 Buick brakes and I've seen several articles on adapting them to Ford spindles, but I've seen axles for sale for 49-54...
I have a nice T spring I think I'll use in the rear of my A roadster. I know that 6 or 7 leaves is about right for an A spring on a roadster, but...
My 20 or so CFM shop air compressor couldn't keep up with the sandblaster so I broke out the big guns and fired up my old Joy 125 CFM gas powered...
So are you guys using flux for gas welding patch panels? My dad wouldn't weld or braze without it and I've been trying out the Harris Welco...

I have always considered the Rochester 2 barrel to be the best carb out there and I want to run one on a 283 I'm building but I don't want to be...
Are 26-27 T bodies longer than the earlier bodies? They appear to be longer than the 23 T bucket type bodies. I guess what I'm wondering is if a...
I'd sure appreciate some expert advice, I wanted to paint my son's '63 Pontiac in the original light aqua color. Went to the local paint supply...
I notice lately that it seems to be getting popular to use the 49-54 Chevy spindles. Speedway and the axle manufacturers are all selling axles to...
One of the things I like about T buckets is the long hairpins. On some the front and rear hairpins meet in the middle and the front ones look 6'...
I have a 1964 230 straight six and a 1965 flex plate, starter, and powerglide off of a 283. Will it work?
How do gasser type straight axles drive on the street? The steering geometry doesn't look right, or is that because some racers mount them with...
