The Jalopy Journal

I think that deltoid design was used in Vietnam era Navy river boats.

Those look like nice pistons BabylonBob. Is there a part number for those? Can I ask what was the price? There is a very active Poly group over on...
Well, I'm hooked. I've always been a vintage electronics guy as well as car nut, so I think I just have to get one of these old engine analyzers....
Well, I liked it!
Yes, I know you didn't post any pictures. That's why I made my original comments, to try and encourage you to post some photos. We may have been...
After looking at the pics you posted, I can see why you think it looks like a cobbled together mess.
I think you will find lots of folks willing to listen over at slantsix.org if you are willing to give them a chance. I think one reason some guys...
I wonder if going to a 4.00" bore would open up some additional, less expensive piston options.
After you remove the rocker shafts, pry out the plugs from the ends and rod out all the built up crud inside the shaft. New plugs for the shaft...
That is a radio chassis. The controls were remotely mounted under the dash and connected to the chassis via cables. Don't toss it. Do you have the...
That speedo looks like it is from an early '70s Mopar. Duster, Dart?
I agree, PLY 46. I think some additional diagnostics with a vacuum gauge will help nail down the root cause. I am also suspicious of the intake...
That makes a lot of sense! Get back to some basics and check the simple things first. Low cost too. Just takes a little time.
Ok, that makes sense as long as everything is running true. It doesn't leave much left but the torque converter, unless you find some loose...
I would also carefully check the crank hub, crank hub adapter and any indexing pins to make sure nothing is munged up with any burrs, high spots...
What's the history on the torque converter, flex plate and transmission? It almost sounds like you have a flex plate intended for an externally...
Use it to kill fire ants. About a half cup per mound does the job. Also good for killing yellow jacket wasps.
I like the look of that floor mat and for $17.00 you can just toss it in the trash once it's too dirty to hose off.
The 637 was a 60 degree V8 and shared the same bore and stroke as the GMC 478 V6. Bore and stroke of 5.125" - 3.86". The 637 replaced the 702 Twin...

If you come through South Carolina along the coast, be sure to stop in Hemingway, SC for some barbeque at Scott's Barbeque. Real pit cooked...
Dan, What wheel/tire combo are you running? Scott.
Dan, I really like this build. I especially like that you didn't do anything very radical. You updated the driveline while still staying...
They show up every now and then on ebay and at swap meets. They seem to be most common in slant powered vans. Nice to meet you by the way. i too...
Chrysler used an aluminum adapter to mount the slant to a 727 auto. Commonly found in vans, trucks, and taxicabs. Slant fans like finding these to...

Thanks for organizing this. I will try to make it to the show. I'm just across the river. Since I don't do facebook, can you tell us which Sunday...
