UPDATE on wheel leak, cleaned and scrubbed inside of rim with a scotchbrite pad, sprayed 3 coats of clear paint and haven't lost any more air....
Yep, same wheels
I know exactly where its leaking. sprayed soapy water on the whole wheel and found a little fizz dead center of the wheel. I just need to get the...
Thats the best , vacuum impregnated glue or sealant, used to be a few local foundarys but they are probably in china now
good point on elasticity. shouldn't crack from heat and cool . maybe I'm making a big deal outta nothing but I would rather dismount, repair and...
I read a lot of good stuff about POR 15. spray paint would be much easier but I don't know if I would be able to clean the rim good enough for...
good thinking ;)
I would assume I need to paint the whole wheel inside evenly so there isn't a balance issue ?
Happy New Year to all..guess I'm not the only one sitting around on New Years eve
paint is what I was thinking but I wasn't sure if it had to be a certain type , like epoxy or something else
I have a set of Halibrand wheels and one has an annoying slow leak right in the center of the wheel. its not a rim or bead leak I'm assuming its a...
Good lookin project ! Rarely see plymouth or dodge. I have a 33 plymouth 2dr sedan great lookin cars. Parts are pretty hard to find at reasonable...
Well thats what it is, cheap chrome that u really dont see anyhow. Squirrel is right, need some early 70’s parts.
Yeah i did have a bad condenser,you helped me out with that. i cant seem to hit a sweet spot and and keep it that way. Went to a cruise today, by...
Yeah not sure with stock set up if im trying to make it do something it doesnt like. Kinda like my mom telling me you like liver and onions and...
Well i adjusted timing yesterday, took it for a ride and it ran really good. Till i got a couple red lites and it started getting hot. Got home...
36* is all it will do. That happens at about 2900 rpm. At idle its 12*. With vacuum at idle its about 26*.
Your right ! I tried setting timing with a vacuum gauge and it was advanced a lot ! So I’m just backing off a couple degrees at a time till it...
Thanks squirrel
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: I’ll try bumping it up a little more and go back to port vacuum all i can do is try. I like fall...
I had it on ported and it does idle better it just tends to run hot in traffic. Would 14* hut it if it doesnt ping and starts ok ? Im trying to...
Im losing a battle with a sbc 350 from a 70 caprice. Engine is stock as far as i know. Eddy 1406 on a offenhauser 360 manifold. How much initial...
Can pressure regulators be mounted on the engine block ? Or do they have to be somewhere cooler. Dont really want it to look like a big wart !
Can someone recommend a fuel pressure regulator that wont puke in 6 months ?
Wow ! I guess i aint alone. I hate buying more parts to compensate for parts that dont work right ! If pressure is so critical then build a...
Well as luck would have it I’m at 7psi. But if ya look down carb at idle theres no indication of overflow or gas slobbering out of the venturi....
Yeah I’m sure a tee is the better choice. i dont have a lot of room to add anything permanently but I’ll figure something out.
Your right. I did spend a lot of time rebuilding the carb. Cleaning was the hard part. I was very meticulous with float settings etc. Engineers...
What kind of carb problem ya thinkin ? If i go 1 step richer in cruise mode the car runs really good. But the gas gauge falls really good too....
