Some good ones, thanks. Any more?
Hey folks, Im trying to add to my hard drive collection of oldschool racing art - in particular straight on or mostly straight on shots of cars in...
Its floor shifted, dont know if theres a safety neutral at play - doesnt crank in P or N.
I mean, Id rather not "play it" any other way than the correct one. There have been more than a couple relevant replies of places to start...
Thanks for the replies, lots of directions to explore
Part of the problem is that many of the parts on the car are TBD as it was modified by multiple owners over the last 30-40 years...its been quite...
Thanks for the quick replies. As far as the battery goes, I had it on the charger last week and voltage is maintaining mid-12's. Lights stay on...
Hey folks, I've got a '53 Chevy with a 350/350 and a few other mods. Usually takes a couple tries to get her running smoothly (work in progress),...
Awesome, thanks for the info. I was told it might be out of a late 60s/early 70s Chevelle, so I suppose its probably true. It's already installed...
Hey folks, anyone have an idea what rear end this is?
Its got a mild 350 in it, so not stock but not a monster. I agree - even if fluids look good I think its still best to start with fresh and know...
Making progress on a '53 Chevy project I just picked up, but I have no idea what type any of the fluids are currently in the car, so looking for a...
Yeah like I said earlier - this would primarily be for cold starts, tuning and farting around with engine...anything where I'd be giving it juice...
Down the road I'll likely replace the whole exhaust system including mufflers, so this will all be moot when that happens. But for the time being...
Back when I lived in Philadelphia a dude down the block had an old POS Lincoln town car that he cut the exhaust off. He'd blast down the street...
This is generally what I was imagining too. A cheap and easy-to-install/remove option for the brief period it needs to be on. I guess it just...
I feel like this is a bit of a wacky inquiry, but here goes... New project is a slightly rodded out '53 chevy with a 350 (bored, mild cam,...
Took the heads off last night...ugh, gnarly [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Almost lost my lunch when I saw/smelled that ecosystem. Pretty bummed. What's it...
Oh good to know, I'll have to see what the word is for the 401. Thanks for the heads up
Excellent, thanks - sounds like the next step is to pull the heads, dry everything, cover everything w oil, and inspect cylinders for pitting...
Yeah, thats my guess too...the intake has plenty of rust as does parts of the carb. Had an air cleaner sitting on top but for all I know it was...
Picked up a 401 nailhead. Was a “running” engine (of course), but purchased only having seen pics and the price was comfortable for a...
Thanks. I was figuring there was a reason why I've never heard of something like this being done.
A buddy is getting rid of a huge, old junked up tent and it got me wondering... I have nowhere to keep my car at my house so it's over at a...
Saved this one from the cool pics thread... [img]
My dad said that I have more crap from the 40s and 50s than he did when he grew up back then... Some old firecrackers and salutes [IMG] [IMG] I...
Very sad to hear this....Rip Billy Lee Riley "She's my baby" by BLR is, imo, one of the best rockabilly tracks out there. Wish I had the...
Tight man, thanks for that (as well as the other replys). I've wondered what the rear would look like without all the chrome....and yeah, the...
Out of curiosity I'd like to see what some of you can come up with as far as a custom look... [IMG] [IMG]
I wish the best of luck to all those who have lost their jobs. I was laid off last June but was rehired just last week by the same company that...
