The Jalopy Journal
I've used these with some success. I extended the "fingers" out a little so you can see how they would engage the grooves in the tap, the collar...
Yep, it seemed like a toss up but the car was supposed to be ready to go anywhere - probably will get a real once over and new heads when it gets...
Thought I'd pass along the positive experience I was involved with today - one of my customers bought a '49 Ford with a flathead in Chicago and...
These guys are going out of their way to get the '49 back on the road, and once more the HAMB comes through. What a resource it is to have guys...
The guy driving it back, CJ, sent me a message with pics of new head gaskets that were in the trunk stash that came with the car. Bludice, I...
Thanks, rjones 35, looks like they may be able to help - we were beginning to think it might be a U-Haul rental and bring it here to Taos....
One of my customers is bringing a '49 shoebox back from Chicago to Taos, he's thinking it might have puked the head gaskets - can anyone recommend...
Caught this episode myself - I was impressed by Aaron's passion for both hot rods and the kids. Going to the site to order some stuff.
Finally got them ordered by using the "check out as guest" instead of the registered info they (Fastenal) asked for.
The 50 Chevy windshield divider strip ones are 6-32 and about 5/8 long. If you buy the kit from Chevs of the 40s, you get 3 of those nuts - $22.50
Well, the latest is that Fastenal has them, part # 0123391, but I can't order them online. The nearest Fastenal store is Alamosa, CO (only about...
Gary, thanks - yeah "sex nuts" is the correct nomenclature for lots of this style fastener. First time I saw that I laughed.
Damn, Jim, I just barely got this posted and you've got the answer - thanks as usual. I was (or still am) hoping for a stateside source, but this...
[ATTACH] The doors of the '30 Plymouth 2 dr sedan I'm doing for a customer have screws that hold the front side of the garnish moldings in place,...
The aftermarket filter units I saw last week are from a company called II Much.
kinda reminds me of this little unit I found somewhere - it looks like it might have used some sort of clutch unit on the drive. I think it was...
I was watching one of the weekend car shows on TV last weekend and one of the new products they showed was a line of aftermarket vapor filters, I...
Eddie, the flow in most chevy engines (at least before '92) is as follows: coolant is pulled into the pump through the lower radiator hose,...
[ATTACH] I was sorting some of my Dzus stuff this morning and ran across these two that are what you're looking for - these are marked PANELOC...
Eddie, if the pulley is turning CCW, then you should be using a reverse rotation pump - basically, the vanes are the opposite of a standard...
The Camaro serp setup on my 355 in the 50 Pontiac uses a reverse rotation water pump (and fan) [ATTACH]
And just to help out here on the standard / reverse rotation issue - the fan has to be the right rotation, too. An engine like the ZZ4 use a...
I was just searching through Southco's site a couple days ago trying to find info about some Southco 1/4 turn fasteners I picked up at a local...
That Hyde 50450 Industrial Hand Knife looks like the same tool, but everybody uses the same picture and I can't tell if the blade is the same...
the wood chisel was just in there to pry a little - the main tool I was asking about was in the first pic. Like I said, it's only .085 thick.
Zooming past the "hey.....who cut the cheese" jokes - I figured that it was possibly some cutlery related thing- I'd buy another one if I could...
Somewhere I obtained this tool, and since one of the cars in the shop is a '30 Plymouth that has a full wooden inner structure, I have found it...
Jim, I looked at Borgeson stuff on Summit - guess I missed it. Thank you, you're always very helpful.
Jim, I think I have a GM tilt wheel column down at my other house in Reserve, NM (610 mi. round trip) but if I remember, the tilt wheel setup just...
I'm building a cowl steering setup and need about a 12" section of 3/4" dia. shaft with the GM steering wheel splined end on it. Does anybody...
