Those fitting look big enough to cover a 'real' steering shaft. Could you have been 'had'?
To Ryan: sorry to hear that you had hit some speedbumps; best wishes & hopes for a complete & speedy recovery! While i cannot completely damn the...
While i can understand the general view that billet parts are usually just used to add a bit of 'bling' (a term i find repugnant), with ZERO...
Another comment, that pretty much agrees in concept w/ the rest: Good workmanship (much better when the guy says "i did it MYSELF" Novel selection...
Thanks for making me rethink! Still like the idea of the quad-gauge; don't want the dash looking like a clock shop window. The AutoMeter has a...
Looks good! I'd like to thank you, i've been thinking 'brand X' quad gauges. These look way better!
I note that S-W also makes the quad gauge. Anyone have feedback on these?
I'd bet valve guides, with valvestems going in the smaller ones
i agree! anything more critical than a cup-holder needs post-plate baking after any form of electroplating
i just picked up a couple of 'jet' tanks; larger than is customary, but a 6-71 blower atop a big-block will fit neatly inside, & it's really...
The picture i remember best had a tiny grinding wheel to do those hollow flanks; the guys trying to grind one must've invented some new words. Add...
Bravo, A 292! Those progressive deuces from WEBER might be worth a look.
thanx for the cheap shot. & what? start all over asking the very same question, gettin the very same answers? Thought the thread was about...
I'll admit it: i'm a newbie. Have also already seen some guys dumped on ' that's already been asked, didn't you search?' As more people enter,...
NO HARD DATA HERE; What broke? What is "abusive"? What gear?
I'd love to see any pix/info on this!
Have heard several folk refer to them a "side draft",; while nicknames come from strange places, these are technically downdrafts, just as the...
I've always referred to this type as a 'duplex' u-joint, & the guy @ my driveshaft shop always knew what i meant. They are available in many of...
I may be a bit hard-headed, too! (i'll take that as a thing to be proud of) I guess i'll go forward w/ the Jeep xfer adaptor +WCT5'Z'...
as a followup: how do the strengths of the various years relate to each other?
used to work w/ a guy that wrenched on the modified referred to on previous post; will query him directly, asap, regarding actual hardware run....
Years ago we did some testing; i think it was ~ 10% xtra mileage w/ the V-8 spiral bevel replacing the 10-bolt saginaw. Ford's 9" is way worse, still.
Seems like i'm hearing 2 completely different story-lines here. From one source i hear: Circle track modifieds on 1/4 mi with injected 427 on 15"W...
Of course not! They think tiny engines that can't breathe are COOL!
Interesting... Was just last week told that "the Ford joint lasted 3wk, & the "Lincoln" joint went 5 wk, maybe lubrication was short". This car...
Could you do it like an old inboard? Engine/tranny/xfercase in backwards; spool in xfer case, driveshaft down side of motor. Will have to have an...
Are GM 10-bolts common there? Should be strong enough, & consume less power to turn. Downside is that crownwheel changes must be made in the housing.
Maybe so, but the only flathead i ever had to 'put out' was wearing a pair of 92's
Edmunds made heads & a 2x2 manifold for this (4 bolt flange; 2GC Roch, WW Strom, 885, 1901 Holley) Nicson did a 2x2 for 3-bolt carbs The trucks...
As usual, my vote is: "less is MORE"
Separate names with a comma.
