Ya. Its not real old. Its rustolium, so im guessing it should come of with lacquer thinner. I just wasn't sure if all that would be necessary.
Ok. Ill try the lacquer thinner and a little scuff and go from there. Thanks alot!!!
So im putting together some junk, and i had to put in a few patch panels. I ground the welds down and sprayed some rattle can paint over it all to...
Its still all doable. You just have to be resourceful and crafty. You gotta keep an eye out for good deals and friends who know friends. Cant...
Well, here's what I did. I cut the arms off of both leaversand ground the remains round. Then i installed them as spacers. Then the final chunk...
I thought that if i dont weld or lock it in to the neutral position that the column "cover " would rotate loosely?
I might try cutting the arms off grinding them smooth then tack welding to keep the column from rotating. Would that be the best? As long as its...
Hey guys. So i have the column out of my 57 chevy with 3 on the tree completely disassembled, and i want to eliminate the shift levers and also,...

Well the bracing is done. And the floor is gone and the rockers are, well... pretty much non exsistant. But the old sill plates are kinda screwed...
Hey guys. So I've been bangin away an a rotten ol 57 chevy gasser project, and have been trying to avoid the elephant in the room. So the floor...
Yes. My NEW edelbrock intake doesn't have the hole for the old road draft tube. It has a hole infront of the distributor. Edelbrock said to run a...
I might come up with some sort of breather for the rear. Maybe even a remote breather. I am also running a "fly eye" air filter and would rather...
I do have a filler tube with a cap and a nipple for a hose that i could use. Couldi just run some type of breather on the rear intake hole and not...
So. Almost 2 years ago i rebuilt a 409 to put in my 62 Bel Air. 10 to 1 comp. A good blumpty blump Bullet cam and the new edelbrock single 4...
Something i ran into. I was running those typical metal inline filters from NAPA or any parts store, along the frame cause i didn't want to see...
What kind of fixture is this? Would menards or Amazon have something like that?
Soooo.... has anyone ever redrilled an intake for a different carb? If so, how did you lay it out and how did you make sure the studs were staight...
Yes will fit front to rear. I also have linkage that will work well. I will have to check out offy. Im nevous about redrilling because i think it...
Old edelbrock. TR1 if i remember right
So... i have an old tunnel ram that has carb bolt pattern to bolt the carbs on sidways, but i need to bolt them inline. I see that edelbrock makes...
Yes, a taller front tire does effect roll out. But not so much to avoid red lights. Oddly enough, a taller tire is just a bit faster. A taller...
Sounds like a well built engine. Why not send the carb in and have it converted to run E 85. Works great with higher compression, is way cheaper...
Ok, so here's what i ended up doing, right or wrong. I bought a threaded tube and heim joint from speedway. They sell the tubes in different...
So yes. I just put on the passenger side arm on. It does put the tie rod on the bottom side. So i used the original ball stud tie rod type end...
I would really like to use tie rods instead of heim joints. Not just because i trust em more, but also would fit the look better then heims....
Will that work? Having a taper on top AND on bottom?
So hope these pictures help alittle. I would like to run my tie rods UNDER the arms
