I managed to score a Sun 506, along with the cabinet. It has a xenon bulb, and will spin a dizzy 6000 rpm. The bulb was burnt out, and some...
Most of my stuff is OT cars, circa 60s and 70s. It's rare that any parts store in town has what I need. The last time I looked for anything was...
A good read from a jeep site, jeeps and AMC seem to use whatever they could, and often cross bread parts...
The HEI was the worst main stay factory electronic ignition system from the big 3. Why put your module so close to your high kv coil?! Why is...
I worked at a few parts stores in my younger years as the big chains were just getting into my area. I worked at those stores... Flat out they...
I've been doing some research, and I haven't really found any correct answers. I'm looking at finding some Ansen Slot rims. What I am looking at...
390s can run good if the right guy is building them. We've got a local guy at the track with a 390 in a mustang that runs low 7s high 6s in the...
How about had a good motor and never used it? Two buddies I know that rent a shop together both had this happen at the same time. I built a 460...
Back when I was in college working at a chain parts store we had an analog starter/alternator tester, the one with gauges. After doing some...
Oh use a little spray bottle when the engine is idling and squirt the headers on both sides and tell us what cylinders are cold
Spark plug air fitting can be found at the auto parts store pretty cheap. A vacuum gauge should tell you if you have a loss in vacuum at whenever...
yup sounds like vac leak somewhere. You could do a leakdown test to rule out bad cylinders, you'll be listening for air exiting through the crank...
Are you running the torker, or the torker II? The torker II isn't worth the aluminum it was cast with. The original torker was decent for...
[IMG] Sometime in the 30's Title: Gunder Rust's snowmobile near Alkobo N.D. <table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0"...
I've got a few rare things, but not impossible to find. CJ 429 block, mexican 302 block (some people think they are special) etc... BUT my...

Don't sweat it, they are not hard, and require no special tools. Did my first one at age 18, out of necessity in my parents garage. I got a B&M...
Make them. Making and repairing plug wires is pretty simple stuff.
I rarely ever look at a car at a show with a SBC. Boring, and overdone
I think teledyne still makes parts for them. I rebuilt a 4 cyl continental engine for a early '50s towmotor forklift. About the only thing I...
We use to have airport drags in across the river from Bismarck ND in Mandan. From the stories I have been told was that the first one had to be...
Mallory pumps are quiet compared to many others, I've been running a comp 250 on my street/strip car for 5 years, lots of miles and drag racing,...
Siamese Allis-Chalmers Dozer used for the Garrison Dam construction. Possibly built by Buster Peterson for the project. [IMG]
I don't doubt that it runs better. You had a problem with your ignition somewhere in the system. Two things that I have run into, one on a Non...
Tough question, if your ignition box was giving you problems then yeah, you need something that works. A little background on what I've been...
I second this, for what you get this is probably the best for a serious hobbyist/pro fabricator. I bought mine when they first came out, and I've...
So are we talking earth HP, or up in the air theoretical digital HP? If you want 500hp pump gas earth HP, you set up some real tight guidlines....
Gonna have to go big or go home. Small blocks = big squeeze and aftermarket heads. Best bet would be a big block. 460 Ford will do it with...
He wants you out. That's his way of making you go without an eviction. If you are a good renter and pay on time all the time, he's got other...
My optima just quit on me, well not quit but it was getting weak, it was installed in September of 2002, so I got some decent life out of it....
Separate names with a comma.
