I did some research on this for mine. I haven't gotten to it yet but the 425 oil pump looks exactly the same as the special chassis pump.
Once you find a color, I would paint the valve covers to match the engine and just leave the tops of the ridges aluminum.
The bolts go through the starter up into two threaded holes in the bottom of the rear of the block on the passenger side and there's a bracket...
I didn't mean to steer anybody wrong. It looks like the setup in a 55 Chevy I just bought. The shop owner that was restoring it said it was...
I vote make a new lid or find a replacement. I wish I had one on my OT GMC with a busted AC. The best I can do is stick my hand out the window and...
There's a lot of stuff in this post that I don't see in the thread but it showed up when I quoted it. I couldn't find a good picture of mine, I...
Then again, my 48 is a Pontiac that had space for a straight 8 so I've got room to move the engine back off of the cross member. Those wholes...
The oil pump looks like it has an attachment that would allow you to run lines to a remote oil filter. I haven't heard anything good about doing...
Even if the engine has been run to break in the cam, it doesn't hurt to do it again and know its done right. It won't hurt anything to do it but...
The special chassis oil pump on CAD500's page, the one they make it seem like they specially designed and probably want too much for, is the stock...
The rear sump off of a 68 to 76 Eldorado 500 is preferred. The sump is all the way at the rear of the engine. The next option is the mid sump off...
It's a good thing you didn't get caught in Albuquerque, the cops there would shoot you.
It's going to be a few years before you can let the kiddo work in the garage with you and maybe a couple more before they will remember. My mom...
You can put a couple of them in series with a few dummy switches with them: boom - anti theft device. I've used them a lot for times when the key...
We might have already met then. I'll have to come buy some time. It would be good to meet a fellow HAMBer. I'll send you a PM. From the stories...
In Alamogordo just the down the hill from the cool of the tall pines. You?
Then there's parts everywhere. Fenders, hoods, bed steps, grills, bell housings, you name it. It took three trips in the truck after the yard was...
The last one is probably the one I'll start with because it is mostly complete and all in one piece. It just needs a little TLC. [ATTACH]...
A friend of Doc's came over while we were loading this one and said that they drove it to the spot where they took it apart. You could see that...
This one he had in the shop. Someone was restoring it for him. It's got IFS and R/P steering, disk brakes, an Impala rear end and motor mounts for...
Here's another with lots of parts missing but still rolling. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] It does have all of its glass and not as much rust as some of the...
This is probably my favorite out of the bunch right now. It's almost complete and it practically put itself on the trailer. Put it in third gear...
It really is. I can't say enough nice things about him and he was one of my wife's favorite clients.
This one has a really solid body, all of parts are there on the interior, the doors, windows and hood open and close very well. It has the usual...
This one has a decent frame but the front wheels felt like they were going to fall off the spindle. It's full of extra fenders and hoods and has a...
The first one on the trailer looks solid from a distance but is missing a lot of parts including the engine and transmission. It rolls and steers...
A couple months ago, my wife came home and said that one of her clients had some old trucks out behind his office. After discussing the Pontiac...
Buy a human bone online, dig a little hole and tell the cops you found the bone in the hole. It doesn't need to be Jimmy Hoffa. We found a leg...
I agree with not needing the warranty. Half of what you pay goes to the salesman as a commission and you'll usually never get the other half back...
Just not black. I thought I wanted black on my 48 but its just too plain. I like the smoke grey with the mile deep shine in your photo bucket. It...
