Guys - I've got an older F150 with the 300 c.i. straight six in front of a trusty NP435 four speed. Oil pressure is great and I'm sure...
Great stuff, Guys! The '55 Chevy has always been a favorite of mine, however way too expensive for a turn-key car. Maybe one day a barn...
Oops, sorry. Next time, I guess..
I hope this qualifies as an "old" project. She's an '85 vintage. The other day I suddenly lost first and third gears, in a trouser-chili moment...
Thanks, Rocky!
Dumb question ahead: In adjusting my Edelbrock 1406 for best performance, by vacuum, I know she needs to be warmed up but do I disconnect the...
Thanks for the answers! Yes, I'm the only driver - wife won't touch a three on the tree. My luck! :-) I'll do the straight edge test.
This is the "old" clutch & disc I removed from my '59 Rambler six. It was slipping. Only less than 500 miles since I installed it and bone dry...
Yeah...you might be right. Slip under load climbing the driveway to the garage. Either way, I have to take the transmission out and with a...
Oh, I drained & inspected the rear end, pulled the axle shafts and greased the bearings and with the car on the lift, the wheels spin fine with no...
I have been driving close to home since rebuilding my '59s OHV 6, and began experiencing what seemed like a clutch slip. Got her home and on my...
Guys - I've got some issues with a hard-shifting old Borg Warner T96-OD manual transmission from a late 50s Rambler and would like to find an old...
Beautiful work, Nick! That battery ain't goin' nowhere!
COOL! Now that's an air cleaner what IS an air cleaner...to paraphrase Larry Fine. :-) Looks like a 40s vintage when there was room under a hood.
All great stuff. You guys are the best!
Makes good sense! I'll try that first, thanks!
Great idea, thanks!!
Too funny, Billy!
Guys - My old Holley 1 BB carb was making me crazy, so I bought a Carter YFA knock-off that works like a charm. However, it's taller than the old...
Thank you all! Very helpful stuff.
Sorry, I should have mentioned I'm using a Pertronix Ignitor instead of points.
Guys - I just rebuilt my '59 Rambler's 195.6 OHV inline six and have been prepping for the restart. Today I used my pre-lube pressure tank to...
Guys - I'm rebuilding an old AMC 195.6 OHV inline six, hoping these Fel-Pro valve seals will be okay. What came in my NOS gasket kit (from the...
Update... I removed the fuel/water separator for the filter with the 'third' port for a return to the tank. Ran 1/4" brake line back to my filler...
The fuel pump is by the tank (rear) and the separator is up front. The Walbro is low pressure, of course. My cheap-o fuel pressure gauge reads...
In my ongoing move to end my heat soak issue, I'm taking the good advice of many and installing a fuel return line to the tank on my '58...
<<Does that engine have a heat riser valve in the exhaust? If so, have you checked if it is working? >> Yes, there's one where the exhaust...
<< I have been drilling extra vent holes in 94s and 97s in places that will be less likely to spill fuel out or be in the path of the fan>>...
Thank you, guys! The choke is manual, BTW, and she fires up fine at first. I don't mess with the choke, except to open it once warming up. I...
You guys are the best. Thanks so much! I use a Pertronix ignitor in the distributor and yeah, 10% ethanol from costco. She didn't overheat with...
