Thanks for the memories!!! When I was a little kid in Milwaukie, Ore I'd ride out with Dad to the Bomber on Milwaukie Blvd. When it first opened...
I have spent my entire working life in the road, building and maintaining traffic signals. In 38 years I've seen a lot of bad driving and clueless...
I'd suggest keeping the bore to 3-5/16. The power difference between 5/16 and 3/8 is virtually nil on the street. 3-3/8 is max, no room for...
You can take it from a guy who loves '35's and owns a damn nice one, that is THE finest '35 I've ever seen. You sir are an artist and that is pure...
Put a thin layer of modeling clay on either the piston crown or the combustion chamber, bolt down the heads, turn the engine over, remove the...
HRP- I LOVE that Ranch Wagon! It was worth the time and effort. Took me 7+ years to reduce my 35 from a running amateur resto to a very large...
Ever put stuff in a "safe place"? I've got a lot of things stashed in a safe place and if I ever find that place it's gonna be like Christmas. I...
While I'm no carb expert I have fooled around witha few. The BG Speed Demon 750 w/ annular boosters was the only one I gave up on. POS came full...
Ran all 4 wheels of the 35 up on ramps to get it high enough to get the floor jack under so I could lift it higher and get it on 4 jack stands. I...
The Potvin Eliminator is a bit much for the street. A Harmon Collins 408 #6372 worked nicely in my 286 ci flatty, but that was with pretty...
"I really don't give a flying eff if you like it or don't like it. I didn't build it for you, I built it for me." I don't give a flying eff if...
I've had a 200r4 behind a stout (around 450 hp) for a couple of years. As mentioned, better gear spacing and smaller than the 700. Needs at the...
A guy that likes '56 Fords AND Boston Terriers is cool in my book. Congrats.
I built a Traction Master style setup for my coupe. Before I installed them I couldn't keep the thing on the road if the tires spun. Car launches...
Porknbeaner, my dad used to tell me about pouring piss out of a boot all the time. Your post made me feel all warm and fuzzy. 160+ posts about...
Hey Jim, could you crank up the tunes a little?:D Sorry about the valve issue but what a cool idea to stream live. Also, you might want to tuck...
Does that mean you could run 1/2" line and adapt it down to 1/8" line 2" ahead of the wheel cylinder to increase cylinder pressure? Kinda like...
I'm another guy that spends a lot of time here but I don't post often. On this site, like any forum, there's wheat, chaff, and popcorn. Lots of...
Hey Model A, great thread! You're getting good advice from some great guys, what it's all about. You've inspired me to get my '35 to the track and...
I gotta say, the "Ford in a Ford" rhetoric gets a little old. Hot rodding didn't start with a bunch of guys worrying about a matching name on a...
Lots of advice here, I don't see too many posts saying hell yeah, a 304 is the way to go on the street. I agree with 48 Chubby, if you're going to...
You need to do a lot more reading and research about flatheads. The guys here are trying to help you out but you need to know enough to make your...
Read post 16 again. If you have a fire and the new circuit you installed does not meet code insurance will not pay. They are looking for these...
As posted earlier, make sure air has good exit from under hood. I use 2 - 10 inch push fans. They never come on as long as the car is moving. At...
I used the CE springs on my 35 and also had to use lowering blocks. God help ya if you tried to launch it, axle wrap and rear steer like you...
Highlander, RTFO! If ya wants ta play, ya gots ta pay. How hard do ya wanna play?
I LOVE that '41!
Hey Danny - we share a last name, sure wish we shared your skill level at metal work. Looks awesome, love the headlight treatment!
Have been considering a set of their wires for my 35, am now reconsidering.
