Not at all, LOL. Yes, this thread and your specific conversation with me is immensely helpful; thanks for taking the time to share your expertise....
Wonderful. Thanks for the help. I have a couple last things to review: The car originally had two brake and two reverse lights. For better...
Thanks for the input, @Crazy Steve. I'm following all your points in your response. After spending the day going over the build with my...
@Crazy Steve, I'd appreciate your feedback on a question and two rough schematics I drew up. First, after doing all the calculations you...
No more room available. I'm heading out to pick up a new project car and wanted to offer a parts or car ride to anyone in need. Heading out early...
LOL. I concede, you know exactly what you're doing diagnosing the problem, obvious from you assuming a valvetrain issue and pulling the intake and...
Thanks.
SOLD I'm posting this for a good friend up in Denver. I've seen and driven the car and can vouch for it. This would be a great project for either...
"You can't give away those cast iron factory 4-barrel intakes," as in no one will take them even if you try to give them away? 4-barrel A block...
I've dug through the thread and didn't come up with any solid answers. Has anyone physically tried to fit a 1956 Plymouth front end on a 1956...
After spending a couple days gathering info and discussing the topic in another thread, I want to share my research for posterity. For those...
Thanks. Skimmed it and saved the thread for when I start dialing in weights and go to order the springs.
o_O I'm not running a Jaguar IRS, just the two coilovers with a Ford 8".
I'm confused. My original question wasn't about whether coilovers exited by 1967 but about people's experience running 1961 - 1967 (corrected from...
Any chance you still have the Jag springs/shocks to take measurements of the i.d. and o.d. of the spring or retainer?
Great lead. Spax's website is absolutely screwed in functionality no matter what browser I use, so I can't get to their catalogue/products pulled...
Thanks, Steve. Your comment about OEM Boge springs backs up what I've read on a few Jag forums. Ride quality isn't a concern for my build, but if...
Interesting. The catalogues I've seen show the '61 - '71 Jag coilovers being the same with '72 + different. That photo explains the difference,...
Thanks. Yes, I'm aware of the spring/shock angle effectiveness but appreciate you checking. That was actually a thought of mine to help take out...
As I explained in my first post, this is a period-correct build using parts available in 1967.
Thanks for the details. A deuce Tudor comes in at around 1,400 lbs rear weight, so if they worked on your setup, maybe the 1,200 lbs. on the Model...
Correct, Jag IRS uses one fore and aft of the control arms, but they are also designed for a sports car working on independent suspension whereas...
I searched the forum but only found threads about installing complete Jaguar IRS, which I'm not interested in. I'm curious if anyone has...
If you find a 25-spline yoke to match your transmission, I wouldn't hesitate to run it. As I said previously, you'll break the tires loose before...
Sounds like a plan on boxing/x'ing and the 8". Have you looked into whether another toploader output shaft with the splines you want will...
A 401 in a '33 Chevy coupe traditional build won't require a heavy duty manual transmission. Not being sarcastic, the car will never get enough...
SOLD - I have a Holley 26-25 carburetor banjo swivel fuel inlet fitting for sale. New in an opened package. Never installed. Includes the fitting...
Welcome to the '40 coupe club. Since you already purchased the coupe, I won't comment on your buying price and how much you spent on the donor...
The panel is fastened down both sides and across the bottom with rivets and via the top corner brackets with either rivets or machine screws. Did...
I'm not sure what you've done to the block so far, but you'd be wise to have the machinist do a proper sonic testing before buying pistons and...
