Lots of good info here. As others said depends on head design as much as anything else. So a SBC I would expect anything from about 32 to 36...
I could never understand going to manifold vacuum. At idle the spark is advanced due to high vacuum signal. You crack the throttle, the manifold...
I had the honor of meeting Clyde in the late 70's when I was building a TQ midget. Spend many an evening at Associated Gear bench racing and...
Yes the VIN number is stamped on the frame (usually in more than one place) and there should be a VIN plate on the inside of the glove box door....
Just wondering - How can you tell it's a Deluxe body? I wasn't aware there is any way to tell once the grille/hood/rear fenders are changed.
The plastic may be from the cam gear?
I got a turquiose and black 55 Chevy Belair convertible for towing it away, the engine was seized. It was a 265 Powerpack and all I really wanted...
The intake manifold is built on a slight angle to allow the carb to be level while the engine is tilted the 3 degrees or whatever. The reason for...
I have to agree. I'm not gonna get over it either. Screw this idea that companies that go offshore have our best interests in mind. What the...
I gotta call bullshit on the "we had to go to Mexico to survive" crap. You can't tell me that "it's the same workers and now they have a shorter...
I'll be there looking for cheap 40 stuff ;)
67 Volvo on a S10 chassis - LMAO. This guy's got some of you steppin' and fetchin' for sure ........
Wayne 12 port for sure - Or just a 292 Jimmy with a couple three jugs.
Blair's in Pasadena, CA. Used to go there and buy used stuff. One day I spit the driveline out of my car street racing and Don Blair kept the...
Here's my project that I will probably never get to. I probably should trade it for something I need worse, but it is so darned streamlined ...
Been there, done that.
Punched the ex-wife once. Stupid thing to do - She got the house AND the tools. Live and learn.
The Leece Neville alternators were a heavy duty unit, used to see them on Ford and Chrysler cop cars and ambulances a lot in the late 50's early...
Pearson's junk yard is gone? Is the race track still there?
A '34 Ford sedan delivery - Used to have a picture of it but don't know where - I was 15, my older brother tried to buy for me for about a year...
I wouldn't worry too much until you can get it to run long enough to get the temp up and make sure the rings and walls are oiled up. Otherwise...
That's kinda what I was thinking, it's like waaaaa - waaa, I changed my mind, gimme my money back. Or so it appears to me.
I agree with the others re a mid sixties 8" five lug from a V8 Falcon, Mustang or Comet. Easy to find, reasonably priced and good selection of...
And that is the truth - For several years, the oft-repeated Jimmie Oskie story was that he had never flipped a car, even though he had been around...
Man. I'm glad I only buy real bodies. That way I can pick them up at the time I buy them and not have to wait. Seems like ordering the...
Ubermustang - Thanks for the So Cal rendering - Brings back memories of friends long gone. Very nice job.
Nice work - Like the 40 dash, but where ya gonna throw your butts?
Ahh, the good old days. Used to sit at the end of the front chute on Saturday nites and read the numbers on the LEFT side of the sprint car tails...
