Thanks Aaron.
Thanks guys. So other than a vintage Chevy (I'vve reached out to CharlieNY from fordbard about these), and a vintage Mallory, are there any other...
Thanks guys. I'm definitely fouling the plugs with a lot of soot, but it runs pretty cool, 180-190 all the time.
Engine seems to run fine. Have a couple hundred miles on it around town so far. It's a gas hog though and the plugs are sooty black. I'm new to...
Hey all, I've been doing quit a lot of reading about 8BA distributors, how they work, upgrades, etc, and trying to figure out what I've got in my...

Using a self made halibrand style cap. [ATTACH]
What pitman arm are you using? I have a similar setup but using a stock arm and its much longer.
Because there was no 1932 VIN to start with, CA sees it as a Kit Car. Its registered as a 2020 SPCN (specialty constructed vehicle).
Fees were about $400 based on my receipts of around $30k. They ask for the receipt of the frame, body, engine and trans, then one other line item...
To be honest, I could've pointed to anything and said it was the pcv. He said he didn't know anything about the old engines. I didn't want to...
I had the frame made by Classic Street Rod Mfg in Ontario. They didn't put any VIN on it that I know of. That might've been useful to know when...
With the shutdown it probably only delayed me about 3 months. That was how long the DMV was closed for.
I recently finished the arduous registration process for a new build here in CA and I thought I’d share it with everyone that may go through it as...

Funny, but I actually look at that route. I just don't have room for it. My lathe only swings 12"max. Sent from my SM-G973U using The H.A.M.B....
I'm working on the Buick drum conversion. Everything I've read says any brake shop can cut the relief on the back groove. I'm in south...
So you're saying adjust it before I tear it apart? Sent from my SM-G973U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

Thanks Chappy. Mine is mechanical too. I can hear it with full engagement if the clutch (no pressure on the clutch pedal) I have to press it...
Thanks. Yes I can take the floor out and get full access in there. This is what I was thinking, just wanted to check with everyone to make sure I...
I have a T5 behind my 8BA already mounted to the frame of my 32 with everything attached (exhaust, plumbing, etc...). I'm hearing some knocking...
Haha. Yes I figured old Henry did it right the first time and didn't plan on some guy needing to fix it 70 years later. I wonder if I should go...
I assume the pegs are supposed to fit under those clips on the backside of the bearing, right? My TO bearing isn't quite like this one in your...
Thanks! Got some things to dig into this weekend!
The two lugs on the fork had a flat on it that pushed on the bearing. It's not wear, I just ground the flat off it to get better engagement on...
No, it's actually in a 32 with a new linkage setup. The fork came with the housing, but the bearing came from Wilcap sized to fit the T5 shaft....
Hmmm, now I wonder if I'm pulling on the linkage arm away from the tranny instead of toward it. I'll have to look at that. That could be enough...
Heres a picture with the wilcap adapter plate in between the trans and bellhousing. The bellhousing has that L shaped mount riveted in that the...
I'm mating up an 8ba flathead to a T5 using a 50 shoebox bellhousing and wilco adapter. I'm having problems with the clutch fork staying engaged...
