I tried to post my car for sale, it says I don't have enough permission to post to cars for sale. What do I do to change that? Thanks. Art. Sent...
Andyd, thank you for the info. By the way you talk about the cast iron intake, you're really encouraging me to use my cherry picker, just so I...
Thank you for responding. Yes, it is out of a '57 Fury, and the numbers line up with a 318 "A". It is the one with the foam gasket in front and...
I hope I'm not in trouble... I have noticed, over time, that I lose coolant. I could never really put a finger on the cause. The engine...
I drove around the block. Nothing changed. I'll try that, k9racer. Thanks. Sent from my LG-H631 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
So, I changed the ring gear on the torque converter. Obviously there was trans fluid loss during the task. After reassembling it all, it started...
Finally got one in. But not before I went looking for a 7/16 20 thread flange nut. Apparently, they're such an oddball, they looked through 6...
So it's a 5/8 nut. I'm not home to try anything yet. But the tape idea does NOT work. There needs to be pressure applied to the nut for the thread...

Jalopy Joker, haven't tried the long screwdriver trick. I'll try tomorrow. I need to step away before I start throwing and breaking sh@t. Sent...
Thanks Gene. I'm starting on the lowest one, at 6 o'clock. I can't even get the first one on. Sent from my LG-H631 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
There's gotta be a f@#&ing tool for this kinda sh7t. My daughter couldn't do it, said her hand doesn't fit. It's a 3/4 inch space. I tried the...

I'm reinstalling the torque converter (318 Poly). I've spent at least 5 hours, in 1 1/2 hour increments, trying to put the nuts and washers in. My...
So...I guess it wasn't as hard to find as I thought. It's hard to find individually, and especially separate. But, found a local shop that said...

I have a 1954 Dodge Royal, original 2-speed automatic transmission. I did an engine swap a couple years ago, and put in '59 Poly, out of a...
I know it took for EVER but, finally NAILED IT! It was the 50 year old wire that lead from the ignition switch, to the solenoid. Don't ask me how...
O.K. I made a heat shield. The engine is cool and doesn't start at all now. Pulled the heat shield. Still doesn't start. Unbolted ALL grounds and...
I haven't posted anything, cause I haven't had time to do anything. I've been working a lot, and like I mentioned, it starts right up in the...
I did use the insulating grease. I think it has to be something that is just worn out. I didn't disconnect ground wires, or tamper with the float...
It DOES have an insulator.
Never heard of a carb insulator. I'll look in to that.
Two shabby- yes, apparently. Roundvalley- plugs look ok, not wet or dirty. There is fuel at the carb, I doubt it's flooded. I can see and smell...
I have a '78, 302 with chevy HEI style distributor, 2bbl carb. It starts right up when cold in the morning, and after about an hour of sitting...
Motorcraft carb. Most smog crap is still on it. I want to eliminate it all but, maybe as a future project.
It's fixed. Unfortunately, I don't know what the issue was. I just started all over again with the old module, removed all the vacuum lines, and...
Limped home. Replaced all vacuum lines. Same result.
Cleaned out the carb and replaced HEI module. Idles great, it ran well, then, it shut off and ran like crap after restarted. Obviously, very...
I checked every vacuum line leading to the carburetor, none are cracked or torn. Checked pcv valve and it seems to be in working order. Anything...
