You need to know and compute the following; Max throw of MC, pedal ratio and length of arm needed to fully stroke the MC, Bore of MC, Stroke...
Matt, from the picture it doesnt appear as though you have enough lever below the pivot to fully achieve the 1.5" throw available at the MC. Using...
Matt, put down the pipe and answer the mans question. Your answer doesnt make any sense!
I drive a 94 Gism (Geo + Prizm = Gizm) I bought in 2000 for $2500. 38 MPG with a 5 speed stick, AC and power everything, love it. I call it the...
It seems like Roy Johnson of Johnsons Speed here in Lansing bought a truck load of those things. Can't hurt to give him a call at 517-321-6460....
Wire speed makes a HUGE difference.
I agree with the first part, too cold. For sheet metal on a 110 welder turn up the amps to about 3/4 throttle then adjust the wire speed till you...
Why mention it then?
I subscribe to R & C, Car Craft and Hot Rod, together they cost me about 35 a year, and I think I'm paid up for the next three years. Just looked...

The post 65s are better as they have the 6 bolt bellhousing rather than the 5 bolt. Going with a 289/302 just makes everything easier, unless you...
Drill and tap (NPT) a spot on the intake that directly accesses the lifter valley. Go to Autozone and get a threaded PCV valve. Screw it into the...
28 and 50oz only, no 0oz. 28oz would be anything prior to about 1980 50oz after. The first 50's were the 255cid in 78? All 351W's are 28oz,...
Had a couple of friends over yesterday, pulled the cab and box back off. Will now do all the plumbing on the chassis, exhaust, brakes, fuel,...
Use 2lb for MC's that are mounted under the floor, this prevents siphoning, and 10lb for drum brakes, this keeps the cylinder pistons out against...
Opinions are like assholes...everybody has one and they all stink. Hotrodders have always used the best available, why would anybody use stone age...
Kraz, In order to "properly" convert you will need, proportioning valve, metering valve, possibly a residual valve. You will need to know the...
Kraz, I did a search for your MC problems and I see it was about 15 monthes ago that you posed your questions. If you are going to work on your...
What are the MC issues? There is so much information available to set up your own brake system it shouldnt be that big a deal. As long as you have...
I have the EZ, just wish I had more experiance in this aspect of the build. Experiance makes things so much easier.
I did this search not to long ago and the overwhelming choice is the carter street pump sold by summit for about 80 bucks. I have a mallory 70 for...
Large or small bearing?
My 40 pickup has a 2001 explorer 5.0 converted to carb. Those engines come with a torquer grind hydro roller cam and the GT40P fast burn style...
Plowboy, Shouldnt your avatar have a UM flag somewhere in the background?
FE = Fucking Expensive! Love them though.
Are you sure you are not screwing an inverted flair nut into an npt female fuel pump thread. That will never seal. Look into the fuel pump and...
I dont think thats the problem. There are some real physics issues to be dealt with here.
Also remember that originally you had a given single MC bore size pushing 4 wheel cylinders now you have a dual MC only pushing 2 cylinders each....
Probably the result of mutiple problems. First could be not enough pedal ratio, should be about 6 to 1. Second would be too big a MC bore relative...
That is a very nice piece of info, thanks!
