Hey there, I'm going to ask something about this carburetor that I already know the answer to. So I did the quickie carb rebuild, new needle and...
I'm looking for suggestions on the next place to look to track down a drain on my battery. The car is '31 roadster with sbc / alternator. I put in...
Hey there Bosco, Could you give me some more detail about your comment in shortening the axles if installing a factory posi? I have a stock '55...
This was a year or so ago.
Does anyone reading this post have any RPU cab dimensions that they can share? I want to leave ours looking original but thought I would stiffen...
Here's a barn find that my son found last year and asked me to store for him until he can get to it.
I welded a short piece of 10 gauge steel to the head of a pair of square nose pliers. The steel was the same width as the head of the pliers and...
Late '31 body on duece rails
I'm all set now. What kind of a moron would put a 20 amp fuse on a 60 amp circut? That would be me....... Through an evolution of trying this...
New symptom. The third alternator didn't fry, but the fuse that I put in line on the main lug to the starter wire keeps blowing. Alternator...
Hey guys, Looking for help on alternators also. This is one of the most informative posts on alternators and it confirms that I have mine wired...
I've got a similar problem to this post and looking for more ideas. SBC, brand new Holley 4 barrel. Mechanical fuel pump For the first 500 miles...
Things have changed in GA folks. The inspection that you're talking about is for all out of state cars. You might be able to skip the inspection...
Thanks for advice guys and no, I wasn't serious about selling the truck. I'll try the tarp and bomb tactic.
OK, I'm not proud of this, but I'm that guy that squeals like a little school girl whenever bees or hornets are around. Well, maybe not quite that...
'57 gmc
I think I need a bigger garage!
2 x 4 and some pressure and they close SOOOO much better now. It's a little scary to put that much pressure on it, but it seemed to do the trick....
You guys were right. It's a vacuum leak. The starting fluid around the intake told the tale. I guess I know what my next project is. New gasket...
Hey guys, Any thoughts on what would cause a carburated SBC to surge intermittenly? It doesn't do it all the time, sometimes it's slight, and...
Thanks Rusty1, Can you feed me a few more details about the wood thing? Like a whole 2x4 or thinner? How much pressure? Would I want to actually...
Belair, It pretty much has no door rubber. She's a brute of a work truck that I just got, and options like door rubbers and molding and stuff just...
rodknocker, You're scaring the hell out of me. I'll have to try that and see what effect it has. It makes sense that it could affect both doors...
This should be painfully obvious, but I can't seem to find the cause to this. When I open the doors on this pickup, they fly open a foot or so....
I'm running the original tank on my '30 as well. Adapted it to feed my TBI motor 10 years ago, and have not had an issue with it at all.
I also chased a starter problem for ever!!!!. I'll bet I pulled that starter out, shimmed it, jiggled it, banged it, and swore at it over 100...
I'm running a Corvette rear end behind my '30. Took a little creativity, but fits fine.
I'm sure this is a repeat question, but I couldn't find previous posts. We've put a '31 Roadster body sitting on top of aftermarket '32 rails. We...
I'm running a mid year Corvette rear end in my '30 Sedan. Not sure what I have for backspacing, but it fits well with no clearance issues.
OK, you guys have scared the hell out of me. I had no idea that the urethane based product was so dangerous. Now that I've started priming my...
