That’s not true at all. A thermostat regulates engine temperature, just like a thermostat at your house. Engines have an operating temperature for...
I just had a conversation with my buddy last ight about meguiar's #7. I am definitely using that on the 39, but I kind of wanted to try this new...
Yes. 12X2.5" to make full use of the buick drum surface I learned about it here from neilswheels. He linked an article on this thread somewhere. I...
Shroud it. My 57 ran 200 all the time, then I put a Danchuk shroud on it and it settled at 185 even in the SoCal desert heat. My 56 Imperial ran a...
No. Looks like that though. It twists a bit, but has plenty of flow
Just an update of the shenanigans she has been on. Grand nats, Antique Nats twice. What a good little car. Chalking up again, so I think it’s time...
I have done a bit since my last update. Fuel line is finished and the rest of the exhaust is nearly done except for the tips. Decided on 56 F100...
1963 Dodge Dart ragtop. Original paint. Subframe rail is still straight, needs attention to the control arm tabs. My intention was to convert my...
The slits are on the same side of both plates. In a 56 the only dif is the primary and secondary shoe. So the adjuster is pointing the other way....
This is the best tip yet! I asked the Early Ford Store about bendix to oem 39 fittings and they told me I needed custom lines. Thank you, thank you!
If it’s Ontario and we’re looking North, it’s the San Gabriel range. I live at the base of it just north of Ontario. There used to be Ontario...
I also just realized I used the right side adjust kit on the left backing plate originally and that’s why it’s on the primary shoe:mad:. I was not...
LOL There it is. The offset windows still bug me on the driver side, but that’s my ocd and not an actual issue. My ocd is why this car isn’t...
Perfect Perfect! As soon as I put it together I thought, “what the hell am I thinking?”
Bingo! That’s what I figured. Thank you
That’s what I saw as soon as I put them together. I put the adjusters on based on the adjustment window location like a stock 56. Then I realized...
Maybe, although it looks like the other brake fit just fine, so maybe I just screwed this one up. I like the idea of squeezing it down.
I’m putting together the backing plates for my 39 and I have run into a couple issues I need help with. 1- in the first two photos you will notice...
Sorry. I put allthread where theshoxks go and adjusted the control arms to be in the same position. Then I measured the front a arm bolt to the...
I replaced mine in my 56 from one I bought on ebay for 300 bucks. it was pretty easy.
Was waiting for the app to work again♂️. Next door George knocked out my coil bracket for me and the boy wanted to assist in a few repairs to...
I crossed the buick drums to be the same as all pre 72 Pontiac dimensions (other than bolt pattern) and am having trouble even finding those...
So I think I decided to go with the F2 brake setup. I wanted to source generic replacement buick drums since I don’t care about fins and I found...
Finally finished the headers and the pipes. Got a trick up my sleeve for the outlets. Haven’t been on here in a while after switching phones, but...

I thought so. Neighbor George and Evel Jake were making headway on them yesterday while I tried to organize and clean for bigger surfboards and...
Mine will be equal length, too! Not really. I won'tmake enough power to notice. [ATTACH] Sent from my SM-A505U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
