Not super technical but I fixed a transmission cooler problem I was having. I had originally mounted the cooler with the ports facing down and...
I used a marine fuse when I installed a Powermaster alternator on my '64. I used a Blue Sea fuse block that I mounted directly to the alternator...
These Cragars have been on my Plymouth since my senior year in high school (1985). The car sat neglected for 9 years in backyards and barns after...
This '66 was my daily driver from '86 to '95. I went overseas (military) at that point, put it in a relative's barn and didn't go back for it....
I would suggest trying another water pump. I just replaced one where the impeller was loose and spinning on the shaft. I had installed it during...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Not sure if this is what you are interested in, but hopefully this helps a little. This is the 9 inch in my '66 F100...
Out of the clear blue one day when I was 10 years old, my mother had me jump in behind the wheel of my dad's mid-70's Chevy crew cab long-bed...
Roland Osborne passed away recently and he was a key person in having those manifolds cast. Hopefully somebody will keep this effort going for...
One time, I was at a light on a one-lane offramp after exiting the interstate. A car behind me exited when I did, and then pulled around onto the...
Fort Riley
I used some cardboard concrete forms (tubes) to ship my poly heads one time. I got a long one from Lowe's, and cut it to the required lengths...
'40 Fords had a steering column lock??? Learn something new everyday....... How does it work? I mean, wasn't the key (ignition) switch on the...
Never rebuilt an engine, but I did prep and paint (rattle can) some parts one time in a spare bedroom (it was the middle of winter without a...
I saw something similar several years back. I needed a lower control arm off a '64 Dodge that a yard had. It was a recent addition and was...
Have you tried starting it up a second or third time to check the transmission? I had a '67 Coronet that did that exact thing one time. I pulled...
The easiest way I've found of doing this requires removing the pan. If the '56 trans is the same as my '64, the neutral safety switch screws into...
OK, I was walking thru a junk yard, and saw a '55-ish Ford. I think it may have been a Fairlane, but I'm not really sure. Anyway, it still had...
Any chance of posting a picture or two, and the parts list? I use the dimmer switch/extension cord setup for my die grinder. But if there's a...
Yes, I was very curious about that as well..... Never seen one, if that's what it is.....
Will they allow fuel to pass thru easily if they are not on? I need something to prime my Carter since the fuel evaporates out after a few days....

LOL! That rocks! Makes me want to learn how to weld too........
I've built a headlight harnesses for my '64. I wanted it to mirror the original, but to incorporate relays, an additional ground, thicker gauge...
Still got my high school "hot rod". Well, it's wasn't the first, but it is the one I drove the year I graduated. Bought it for $100 wrecked and...
I believe brakes up to '79 F100 will swap. The spindles will mount to the '66 axles. You just have to get kingpins for the donor vehicle...
Could you do a draft tube setup? My '66 F100 had one stock. Not the greatest thing at idle, but might work OK at highway speeds. Just a...
This is one I've had my eye on for a while. A little pricey though..........
I'm running one. It was going to get replaced with a big block at one time, but then I decided I liked the "oddness" of the poly. [IMG]
I actually had this done on my '66 F100 several years ago. A local welder just added in the required length with regular bar stock. He beveled...
Nothing like the first story, but I do have one self-induced snowball-effect story. One time I pulled the Poly out of my Belvedere to replace...
