Oh man, I'm super pumped. I will be heading to Radioshack later to make this happen!
Is there any way to dampen the gauge movement? I've just been gauging it on how low the needle gets, during acceleration, but I would like to make...
'53 was the first year of 12 volt. The gauge pointer is bouncing, and as I said it is a new sending unit. The gauge seems fine, I wonder if I can...
Anyone?
Oh mighty Hot-Rod collective, I recently ran out of gas, in my 53 Cadillac. No surprise, as my gauge was sloppy. As the gas would slosh in the...
I did notice a fair bit of shake at 65mph, probably all the bushing are toast. Me and a friend greased up the front end (lost count at 22 zerk...
Okay, so I went with my original (and much cheaper plan). I put in an inline low pressure fuel regulator (Mr Gasket Special). I set it to 4.5lbs...
If these are the same guys that powdercoat Wolfe Racecraft's roll cages, I remember their work to be pretty laughable.

So, got it restarted, and found actual measurements for resetting the floats. Reset both top and bottom limits using a caliper, they are dead...
yes, a Wix filter.
Im already doing research into which regulator i want, however, that doesnt really solve my dirty fuel pump problem...when it rains....it pours
brass floats
So, after testing everything and resetting the floats, I think I've narrowed it down to the fuel pump. Here's the theory: The fuel pump...
So over the weekend, torn down the carb, cleaned it, and installed the new needle and seat. Also reset the float levels. Ran a new 3/8 soft from...
The tank and filler neck were boiled so I feel that might contaminate them again. The car now has 1 inline 3/8 filter between the pump and carb...
Old line is out, it was defiantly the culprit. Out of the couple drops that we caught when we drained it, half of it was trash. I wonder if the...
Should be fine if I used Fuel Injected rated line. Surely the line is rated for Ethanol since the additive has been used for years now.
Thanks Mikey! ;)
Me and a friend have decided to tear down the carb, clean it and install new needles and seats, hopefully the gaskets aren't toasted. This weekend...
Tank and filler neck were boiled at Ideal Radiator in Denver. Was not too happy with their service BTW.
This is a factory remanufactured carb, reman by Edelbrock, purchased through Jegs.

I did not replace the needle and seat, as when I took them out they looked pretty clean. I will replace them with the new ones from the rebuild...
First, let's please not turn this into a carb alliance debate.<HR style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #d1d1e1; COLOR: #d1d1e1" SIZE=1> <!-- / icon and title...

I've ordered the upper assembly gaskets, need to order the piston, rings and rod bearing next... Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!

Gentlemen, Pulled the oil pan from my 53 Caddy to do a rear main and found parts of a piston skirt in the bottom of the pan. Piston #6 is...
