I would look at cannon plug style connectors.
Looks like it might be a Frankland. How many splines on the change gears?
I am assuming that you want to get some bind out of the current setup. As currently built it's more complicated than needed, and you have a lot of...
The manifolds vary as to what, if any, as to the size of the balance tubes. I am not a fan of just running two carbs. If you have six, use them....
How did you use to cut the filter open??
Could file the round shaft into a double D configuration. Here is a old thread about doing it:...
Well, taking some precautions are probably better than nothing. Depending on where you draw the line for max RPM, consider as a minimum a SFI...
Usually you need to get into a thicker spacer than 1/4" to get a wheel register on the spacer. After you get the wheels you really like, I would...
You didn't give much info about what engine, but it may not require what you would call a custom piston. Many pistons are out there as standard...
Locally you just didn't hear much about roller cams in street engines during the '60s. Even in the late '60s and early '70s you would see a lot of...
On the same cam, you can get about 20 degrees of additional valve duration with the 1.6 ratio vs 1.5. Common to do on exhaust valve on SBC. But...
Just curious about your distributor advance all in RPM. How did you arrive at that choice? Seems very late.
I think the big hurdle in the case for trying to fix while assembled is that the OP doesn't have the broken off piece. So if that has to be...
Cast iron is weldable. It is also a bit porous. To weld requires a lot of cleaning and sometimes pre and post heat. I can't see anyway that you...
If it's just the shift lever, just take it out of the tower. You are going to need to the rear at least 8", but having 10" or 12" would not hurt...
Yes, lots of memories. As a young teenager I would go to the Sanford, Maine drag events at the airport with my dad. Especially when the dragsters...
In my opinion that big stock car rear end would look too big and out of place in a dragster.
Well, as you probably know the initial hot rodder fix was to cut the handel off a bunch of table spoons and weld the spoon on. I actually brazed...
How did the mains mic out? If it's just a street type rebuild and you use the original crank no real reason to balance the assembly. I would get...
Lloyd, I guess we will never get back to the "good" old days. Picking up on your comment about not spraying isocyinates without a respirator. I...
Really admire the research you put in to work out all of the parts and modifications. After doing all of that doing all of that I am not sure how...
Not the cause of your current issue, but years ago I was taught to disconnect the negative cable first and install it last.
From a comment back in one of your earlier posts, reconsidering your machine shop might not be a bad idea. You mentioned some machine work had...
For a street car I can't think of a reason you would use anything but a rubber trans mount. It doesn't take much to crack a transmission tail...
Sorry for the loss of your dad. It's hard in the short term. You have a garage full of very nice cars by the looks. And the fact that one was...
Yes, the original bypass assembly that attaches to the block with two bolts that was used with the canister filter is retained and used with the...
I'd view it as a two part problem. Short term, it would not be that much of a project to fab one out of a piece of aluminum to get back in...
It's true that over time copper tubing can work harden, but it takes some time. You have the good size loops for movement/ vibration. So if...
I don't think there is a down side. Getting a decent air flow for metering gets more complicated as you add more carbs. And various manifolds...
Hot Shoe Hotrods in MO aquired LRS Inc that was also in MO and developed the '32 A-Plus frame. You can mount the A body onto a '32 style frame...
