One thing to note, this is if you used the non-adjustable brake proportioning valve same as GM valve used on many cars in the 70's. For disc...
I have had this problem a couple of times, some times the after market proportioning valve has too much resistance for your master cylinder. This...
Many old cars from the factory have had the axel on top of the springs which works fine, but the last step in your build will be to be to put...
I believe what you are looking for is cold rolled steel. Most steel suppliers only handle hot rolled in 14 gauge or larger. Looking at the...
Been working on this Henry since November, put all new floors,454 motor, dropped axel ect, (see photo's before and after) one of the guys watching...
I don't like the smell of that weldable primer when it burns, so I usually brush where I can't get to later with black rustoleum, and then grind...
I stitch weld about every 2 inches and seam seal in the non-structural areas. In the structural areas, I weld it solid.

I too bought a Henry J & discovered when I got it home it was full of fiberglass patch repairs. Must have been common parctice back in the day!...

this is just my 2cents but it seems to me the way you plumbed your system, you have nothing to balance the system when you step on the pedal, your...
1964 Chevrolet Nova with a factory V-8 has it's own special oil pan, oil pump, which is shorter, and a distributor shaft that goes from the...
If that oil pump is for an early nova, it will do exactly what is happening. The oil pump on the earlier models were shorter. Just a...

try this, take your 10 lb check valve, take it apart, there is a spring like a ball point pen and a little piece of rubber inside there. Take it...
I have a very similar set up except for I did not run guide plates and ran self aligning rockers but my motor has 100 thousands over push rods...

the pulmax uses two tool holders, one offset for shearing, one centered for metal shaping, the centered one usually sells for around $800.00. If...
I've got fittings to hook 2 lines together but I don't think I have any that have the bolt hole going thru them, banjo style, but I will look...
I have a 1 foot square box full of earls fittings I got 20 years ago from a closed speed shop, If I knew what it looked like, I maybe could help....
