OK thanks for that. Blocker ring worn out? well, that sucks but I'm sure your right.
I have a Model A with a 292 and a T-85 /R11 transmission. I'm having a problem down shifting from 3rd to 2nd, the up shift into 2nd is smooth and...
I run 3 94's on my Y block and I have a slight stumble just when the two end carbs open up. I noticed that there seems to be a little wasted pump...
To tell the truth, I gave up and just looked at the photos.
I have a question or two for the group. I just picked up a 346 motor, well, part of the motor. Block, crank rods, pistons and cam. No valves,...
For what it's worth, I have found two different water pump shaft sizes on Y blocks. One with 5/8" dia and another one with a larger shaft. Bolt...
Now that is a great idea!
As an equipment mechanic for 45 years we had a saying also.... Equipment mechanics have big tools.
The thread is 6MM X1.0 and yes I could have just run a 6mm tap into the adaptor that is on the gun but who couldn't use a little lathe practice?...
Someone suggested I look at Tractor Supply so I did, no good They did have many of the .23" thread dia tips but none of the .25". I also e-mailed...
KevKo, what is the brand ? Edit, I found them, Hobart number, but that does not look like what I have, those threads are a lot longer and look...
Thanks to all that responded . I also have a small Lincoln and it uses a .230" or so dia tip with slightly finer thread than 20 TPI and a Hobart...
Wondering if someone can help, I'm looking for some 0.030" mig welder tips that will fit my old Hobart handler welder. The tip that fits has 1/4"...
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they are too weak or that all of them are too weak. Just passing on one person's encounter. I do think they...
This is true, sorry I don't have any other info it has been years since I have talked to him and even longer since I saw the photos of the damage....
I bet so!
Well, that may be. But what happened is that someone pulled out into an intersection so I don't think it would have been his fault anyway....
How strong are they? A guy at work (when I worked) had a Model A truck with hair pins and in a panic stop they collapsed. I don't think they were...
Are you dropping these axles yourself?
it may depend on your rear tire size.
I see it now, they explain this inside the circle. Thanks! ok so now that Fordors got me straightened out, it looks like the Mummert cam...
[ATTACH]This is something Ted posted on the Yblocksforever site. And it brings up my concern, see how my cam opens the exhaust 10* latter that...
Please explain the degree numbers next to the valve open/close points. I don't understand the numbers in the brackets ( ) .
You got that right, the worn out motor that is in the car has the same cam and has low vacuum at idle. But some of that (I was thinking) could be...
I read this or something like this before I installed this cam because for some reason I checked valve position at each cylinder. Thanks
Well, I can easily advance the cam, that would be easier than replacing it. I think my compression is more like 9:1 now with the G heads. I think...
I bought this set up for super cheap knowing the intake was a poor performer. I have been on the look out for a better one.
I started a thread on Y blocks forever
So I'm thinking about swapping in my rebuilt 292 Y block into the '30 sedan. This motor has been together for about two years now just waiting to...
Squirrel and Steve are right, I have a T86 and a "Ford" trans from a '52 or '53 Ford pick up truck in the shed and the side covers look exactly...
