These are great articles and I did the procedure in the first one that opens up the off idle/high speed passage, I may need to open the...
Thanks for the info, it always helps to get some actual data from someone that has done it and knows whats what. I'm still using the 6v system so...
The headers that I have are standard steel pipe type, not cast iron, they have bungs welded to them. The Fenton intake is designed to use a heat...
Eric Williamson on FB, Liked...A Lot!! and Shared!
I got a motor leveler from the parts store for about $15, since I was doing it by myself it helped out a lot! I had issues clearing the motor...
That's Great that you got the motor out. I used some ratchet straps from one frame rail to the other to support the torque tube while cleaning,...
I determined that my distributor is bad and needs to be replaced. It appears that the shaft is not straight and it worbles so it has chewed up the...
Thanks! Lot of work and it paid off pretty good. I just determined yesterday that I need a new distributor, I think the shaft is not straight and...
Thanks for the link! You'll have to let me know how the Holley's work out. I went with the Rochester's cuz they are cheap and simple...a good...
Hey PBRmeASAP, great YouTube video of the 54!!! Is that what you set up the 3x1 on?
I don't know how much fuel psi it currently has, it is the same fuel pump that was installed when I purchased the car and it ran great for months...
Just some updated pics. I've been trying to locate some larger jets for the carbs, no luck yet, my next option...drill them out!
Same motor rebuilt with some performance upgrades. Got some before and after pics. Still need to get the exhaust installed, and it is running a...
Just to give you an idea, I pulled the 235 in my 53 all by myself in a little over 2 hours (adjusted for breaks and about 45 min. of pre-prep...
It runs too good (if you watch the video) for the cam timing to be off. I is almost an imperceptible drop in RPM. I think we are all getting...
Have you checked it with a different meter just to rule that out? Might be worth a shot. As for rebuilding the Carb, if its a Rochester B, BC, BV...
That is usually from an excessive amount oil in the combustion chambe. Does it burn oil? Smoke? I'd say a bad valve seal or could even be a broken...
Well I took the carbs apart again put in the fatter jets (52) and drilled out the air bleed, I also replaced the accelerator pump on the front...
Just saw the video of it running, it sounds great, the vac. is rock solid (much better than I can say for mine), but the RPM drop does look a...
If you don't have any ticks, knocks, slaps, pops, sputters, coughs, shimmies, or shakes I'd say its running about as good as you can expect. If...
Welcome from Pensacola
Thanks, I originally wanted to keep the 6 to try to keep costs down (didn't have to replace the 3 spd., the torque tube and rear end) and to have...
Here is just one kit for polishing glass, I'm sure there are other ones out there. http://www.eastwood.com/pro-glass-polishing-kit.html It might...
Thanks Tim, I'm installing the heat plate before the carbs go back on. I do have the vac gauge hooked up to the manifold and I get about 16 to...
Can you polish the glass? I've seen some pretty bad looking glass come out looking almost new.
Well I got a couple of rebuild kits, two matching jets (50 down from a 57 and a 58), and a hardware kit from Mike's Carburetors. Rebuilt the carbs...
Step-pop said it was Vic Hubbards, I told him you guys said there wasn't one in Livermore, now he is not sure either. Anyone around Livermore in...
Are you going to run heat to your intake? Just curious.
Maybe it was an unauthorized franchise. I could be wrong (not the first time...and I'm sure it wouldn't be the last), but I could swear it was Vic...
