Nothing wrong with using a bungee in an emergency like that. I wouldn't use one as a permanent fix. I've seen alot of that have been done that...
Don't ya hate when that happens? hey, how about synthetics? There's a post about Royal Purple, which I saw another post say it wasn't as good as...
Gotcha.:cool: I guess I went on a rant because I'm hearing the same thing, but with stock springs/valvetrain with a relatively mild cam. With a...
Well, that's not vey nice!:rolleyes: I kid, I kid. I was only giving my opnion on the subject and relaying waht i had found by asking around...
perhaps there was a misunderstanding in what I meant to say. I meant to say that the motor oil itself is required to meet or exeed the previous...
EOS isn't intended as an additive, only as a break in suppliment. I'd be afraid of plugging the filter with constant use of that product. I...
Don't ditch that 235!! Set up right, they're major torque engines. I have an uncle that used to take out early Hemis with one back in the day. All...
Around here, most machine shops won't do drums and rotors anymore, no money in it. Hell, even the parts stores don't turn drums and rotors either.
They're not aluminum are they? Some times when you try to machine the aluminum drums, the iron insert will separate from the drum. that might be...
I agree. It won't make any difference. In fact, it'll be a more accurate turning because the drum will be centered on the hub that it rides on,...
Ansens were pretty common around here back in the day, probably not as rare as you would think. ARE owns the rights to them now, they're...
You might take a look at old farm tractors. I know that IH and Deere used lamps from Guide, others probably used them too.
Guide was an OE supplier, mainly for GM. In fact, I think GM eventually bought them out. I'll see if I can dig up some more info on them.
It's from the Flint plant. The number specify that it's regular truck, my book only goes up to 1 ton. Corvar vans/trucks use a completely...
Reminds me of what happened to a co-worker. He's into the Ricer car thing, and another co-worker and a buddie of his that used to own a body shop...
7 degrees would be fine. The main reason I said 5-6 is from exerience dealing wiht solid axle Jeeps. They spec at 6.5-8, and when set that far...
I made something similar, only I used 1/4" stainless bar stock and some stuff called RhinoHyde for the spacers. Very stong. I can hang from the...
I wouldn't go any more that 5 or 6 degrees positive. Any more, and you won't be able to steer it. Positive caster is wiht the top of the spindle...
Went to a yard today myself. here's some pik. Some are from a yard in Veedersburg IN, the later ones are from a yard in Tecumseh IN....
I don't have a Cameo, but I do have a '55 Stepside 3204. http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2556194070092261295LXjVTH A place that you might check...
Me too. I know I'll get hung for this-those Ts are too nice to rod.
If you go with a 5 speed, use an S10 T5. It'll bolt up to the stock bellhousing-no adapter needed.
15x10 might be a little narrow for that tire to give proper support for the sidewalls. A 15x12 would be better. Industry standards call for the...
Oh, it didn't look that bad in the pix. I hope you guys come out OK on finding another truck, even if you have to build it yourself.
Glad to hear you're OK. And that's NOT totalled, it can be fixed! If it were a late model truck (or any late model car for that matter) then yes,...
:confused: I was always told the 6.2 was derived from the 5.7, and the blocks were the same. Perhaps the info I was given was wrong. Sorry for any...
A son of a guy I used to work wiht had an '83/84 Chevy truck that was originally a 6.2, when that swapped to a 350 gas engine, the trans pattern...
What the cam grinder probably meant was 261, which was a big truck engine (1 1/2 ton and bigger). Use the stock pushrods, they were the same ....
The fender he's selling is for a '47 2nd-'55 1rst. It looks a little rough to me for supposed NOS, plus it's been painted at one time!
:eek: Watch out for the rivetts, they get hot on sunny days!!!:eek:
