The truck is coming along nicely. I noted the cooling fan close to the radiator you pointed out. Was this due to the different water pump you...
The use of hose clamps as motor mounts. Worked well on drag cars. Made pulling the motor easier.
She needs 2 1/2 wide whitewalls. Please put the original hubcaps back on. The car will be perfect then. Beautiful car!
The heat riser in the exhaust you can remove if you can not free it up making it function. The heat riser helps warm the cold started engine.
When the last drop of gas dries up will the hobby die. ;)

Yep. I concur.
Yep.
Gear oil on the clutch plate. I ran into the same with my Buick 264 3 on the tree. First gear shudder. If I feather it and high revs I can avoid...
It exudes different, odd, awesome and cool all at the same time. Yep, paint her flat black. Larger rubber on the rims. Drive it low and slow....
Just incredible these cars contained bodies and possible answers to disappearance of 5-6 people.
Diesel truck oils carry zinc. Zinc additive can be purchases as well. The zinc is beneficial to heads with tappets. Not so much required for...
That car is screaming for a set of thin line red wall tires. No question.
Just some hackers looking to compromise easy unprotected websites.
More importantly, a nailhead was saved!
They all have a surface behind them. Ford with the plate as you know. Chevy has the plate with two pipes either side entering and exiting the...
Oh it is quite fun on washboard roads. By and large the bias ply was a tire for driving comfortably/safely at 40 mph. Beyond that you are on...
Here is the deal, 32 psi in one tire can handle 1970 lbs. That is getting close to supporting the entire truck on one tire. :eek: Not necessary...
I believe the AC cars had an additional fan blade as well.
Running at 25 psi was probably what the car/truck manufacturer recommended. I run mine at 32 psi per the sidewall instructions. This is what the...
Bias ply tires and radials are night and day. I run 6 year old bias. It is nothing short of an adventure on some roads. Drift, rut pull,...
Good point. But, I run my 264 nailhead without a stat. I have no issues. Well, it is not quite warm from the heater in the winter.
Electric fan may not be enough. Not always a good replacement. The original fan might be required.
Last but not least, is the fan close enough to the radiator? Can a spacer have not been reinstalled?
Baumi is onto something here. Does the replacement pump have the same number of fins as the original pump that was pulled? I have seen reman...
I would say you are right. If the chome looks as good as it does and the seats clean up you will have saved a bundle.
Looks new! Now we are really seeing a gem under the dust. :)
Quite possible and if asked I would say you are. The cars then were built about last about 5 years. I can remember my dad wanting to turn in...
There is no substitute :D Good Lord, she sat for that long? I guess so judging by the tree. Amazing. Glad you are bringing her back to life.
When you have to cut a tree out of the way to pull a car out there is no doubt she has been there a long time! :eek:
