The Jalopy Journal
Thanks, Mopar.
Mr. 48 Chevy coming through again. Thanks.
I appreciate that, but I'm looking for one that accepts 3/8" line w/ the orifice. I think that one's 5/16" on the inlet/outlet.
I'm thinking of hooking up a return line on my '56 Chevy to help with vapor lock/hot start issues before the Texas summer hits hard (it's running...
Thanks for the info, Mike.
I'll see how it does. Holley's max rating is 7.5 psi and I can clock it. I get that these levels can fluctuate.
Just following up: Edelbrock wasn't available; my Advance does stock the Holley pumps. YMMV. Thanks again.
Thanks for the leads, sunbeam and 67. I never check Advance and it appears that they have a couple Holley ones (not cheap!) at a lower rating. I...
It appears my mechanical fuel pump died on the way home yesterday. Chevy 350 with a 1406 Edelbrock carb. I've read here and heard from others that...
Thanks for the all responses. Yeah, I've gone through the list. Remote solenoid, mini starter, heat shield, heavier battery cables, played with...
Good suggestion. Thanks.
Thanks for the replies. I always appreciate your responses, 48 Chev. I did the remote Ford solenoid move. Dropped to 2 gauge battery cable....
Out of curiosity: Is that ever an issue for folks? I've had some intermittent hot start issues. Is this generally not a good spot for a ground?...
Yeah, the problem seems to be that there is no real way to checkoff on the asbestos approval. 36roadster's article mentions requiring an asbestos...
Good to know. The asbestos nightmare 36roadster linked could make this process a real nightmare. I've been doing some preliminary research, but...
We'd be moving to Darwin.
Aussie A, thanks a lot. I really appreciate it. I'm working part-time at a garage, so I could do a lot of front loading here if there's a...
Damn! They really shut it down. I definitely would rather not risk importing something, no matter how much preventative maintenance was down...
There's an outside chance my wife and I might be moving to Australia in a year. Having combed this message board (specifically the pre-1989...
I saw this page pop up when I was looking to see if there was anything out there on my dad's old car club (sorry if this is reviving an old post,...
Good to know. Thanks, Don. Although I kept my handles, I used their door lock actuators for my bear claw latch upgrade and they were money well spent.
Thanks, Don. Confidence in Spal's fan (in a harsher environment), plus a way to keep/upgrade the mechanical fan I was unaware of. Thanks a lot,...
Thanks, HRP. I just passed this information onto to my buddy who's been invaluable in helping me keep my '51 on the road. Just checked it out on...
Thanks, HRP.
Dave: Thanks a lot. Very helpful and constructive advice. I'll do that. Much appreciated.
It gave work to a friend's shop (not that they need it) and I like those guys a lot. I also prefer not sweating in Austin's stop-and-go traffic --...
It cooks out here too! It's the stop and go plus A/C that's been causing me to run hot (220-230 degrees). On the freeway I'm doing great -- right...
HRP: Thanks for the response. I'd prefer to run a mechanical fan, but my engine sits a little low. The old mechanical fan was really small (13"?)...
Thanks for the feedback, Gary. That's just another option if I hit a brick wall.
Thanks for the reply. I asked the folks at Spal and they said that was the biggest/highest CFM fan set up (including combinations) they had for...
