TLB has been in heavy rotation for me since I first saw it at an underground drive-in movie event in SF 10 or so years ago. I just remember...

Cam looks good. Put in new bearings and for god's sake get that broken-off piece of file out of there. Yikes.
Put half a quart of ATF into the oil. It'll help with a crummy lifter.
Been in contact with the OP about another Orange '55 out in the hinterlands of Oregon. He made some calls and it's not the same car, but he dug up...
I remember seeing Scoobie's truck at paso right after (like, the day after) it was painted. The sucker was off-gassing so strong you could smell...
Check out the Royal Joker's blog for some shots of Scoobie's truck. Also pics of "Fun Sunday's" @ 17th and Mariposa. Those were some down and...
I heard this story like, eighth- hand, but here goes: Javi had his ridiculous '60 Chevy down at Paso. The car was bright. A bunch of people...
Those coupes are cool. I've seen that on CL and been tempted, but without a title it's probably not worth a grand. Also, a buddy built one of...
Don't eff with your lift. The life you save will be your own.
Idaho's chock full of yards like that. I have a place out in Weiser, and you can't believe the stuff that's sitting in farmyards between there and...
I'd like to introduce you to my friend, Carson. :D
I went and drove one in Berkeley about 15 years ago, a '47 I think, that was stock as a clock, but had a 401 nailie in it. Truck was rusty so I...
Flows remind me of living in Oakland. I really like the Purple Hornies that are on the car right now. Old-Timer told me once that he used to get...
I just had PER do a bunch of block work and assemble a bottom-end for me. They are friendly and knowledgeable, and it looks like they did a...
You're right, dude, North County San Diego is for sure ground central for west coast car culture. I'm trying to ignore you and your shitty...
I think it may have to do with the distributor drive. I'll know more tonight. Thanks man.
I DIG late 50's/early 60's cars done 60's/70's street machine style. Keep the mags.
Oh, man. Good looking car. That top color isn't so good, but I do like a contrasting color on the tops of '64/65's. How 'bout boat glitter...
Hows the setup work for you? I really liked the way this worked. No monster, but really smooth, workable power. Good call on the rocker shafts,...
Thanks guys. I have an idea-- I'll get over to the shop tonight and see if I can't figure it out. I'll post when I get home.
1- No adjustment. This is an hydraulic setup. 2- I pre-oiled, both with a pump-drive shaft, and spun the motor with the starter. Plenty of oil...
I like. I like. They kind of remind me of a dog I used to have.:)
Hey guys. I Just finished buttoning up the motor on my OT car, and am having an issue. It's a 1972 Dodge 360 block, .030 over, 10:1 pistons,...
I love where this is going. Really cool. Chris, it looks like you and I are about the same age. That timeframe looks pretty familiar to me.
Weird is Good. But you already knew that, eh? I love it.
I've been thinking about this for awhile, and I'd like to see pictures of the men who preceded us, with their cars. Not just pics, but tell us...
Kirk Jones, you are no fucking joke. Good work, man.
You ruined that car. Now it's perfect!:0
I love it. That is a nasty looking motor.
