Super cool! Wonder if you can find some Grant rings an Isky cam and Wynn filter for the Pontiac, and clear coat those old racing stickers? I...
Years ago we (Dad and I) put a 4-spd saginaw in a '55 1st series Chevy truck, with a 235. We had the same problem. The nose cone OD was too big on...
Well, I don't, but thanks for posting! I'm very familiar with Chevy/GMC (235 and up cu in) and your pic is bad ass! 12 port Wayne heads are one...
Starting and headlights. I've run several 6V starters on 12V, and the engine is much easier to start! However, as the age of the pieces and parts...
Its either the cable, the speedometer, or both. you can drive the car with the speedometer cable attached to the trans and disconnected from the...
what you have is the same thing that is pictured at AppleHydraulic's web site for 32 Ford:...
yep...those engines are externally the same from '35 through the end of production in the 70's? (they were used in industrial applications, fork...
Couple months back I did a lot of research looking for one of those, the ones I did find, guys were asking $300. And yep - $100 for the cap is...
Don't do it.... but don't take my word for it, draw a side view of the axle and split wishbone/radius rod, then trace out the arc the axle will...
I don't have a stock '32, but I see the spring has it's eye reversed, so that's about 1". It's also an aftermarket spring because ford leaves...
Great find! I agree - get it running and have some fun with it as is. But if you're going to rebuild it then, for what it's worth, my $.02 is:...
Awesome! I'm glad to hear the stabilizer is working because the look of your rod is killer. I'll keep a mental note of your work and your...
pooch2, I made the rear suspension into a "4-bar" using the radius rods as the lower links and fabricated the upper links from 3/4" black pipe. I...
To answer your question about radius rods breaking; yes. My '35 radius rods snapped at the welds where the tubes are welded to the forged part. In...
First, absolutely beautiful work and craftsmanship! The T bearing cover, use of rebuildable drag link ends, etc, etc, just perfect. But.... I...
Pasadenahotrod has the key to all of this. Bottom line, the more the shackles are parallel to the ground, when the suspension is fully loaded, the...
Although mounting it like Laroke did is visually more impressive, my first thought was the same as what Squirrel said; mount it sideways and as...
I agree....400HP, small things that could make it more than 400hp are: Is the tunnel ram properly ported, polished, and port-matched along with...

really cool hot rod!...I really like the old hot rod vibe, full fendered with dropped head light bar, looks like something built in 1975. Pls keep...
Use the '40 box, MACs has rebuild kits along with new worms and new sectors. You'll want a panhard rod as well (if you don't already have one) Kipp
For my '34 and '39 Plymouths, I use Hagens out of Puyallup WA or Andy Bernbaum's out of New England. Andy Bernbaum specializes in Chry,Ply,Do 30's...
From a quality / pride in workmanship and pride it what you bolt to your hot rod, I agree with everyone's comments. However, to answer your...

With cross steering, including rack and pinion only using one side of the rack, you should use a panhard rod for the reasons given by flamedABone...
Update, Thanks Tony for sharing your program, I emailed you directly, look fwd to hearing how you went about your cam program, etc. Nothing...
