Thanks! It looked a bit like what was on my '40 pickup years ago but not quite right.
I'm sure a couple dozen of you know what year and model this is from. I don't, but would like to know. Thanks! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Not Buick, and I'm pretty sure the Pontiac and Packard straight 8's were both flatheads.
What am I looking at here?[ATTACH]
@J.Ukrop Great story! Thanks for sharing, and more so for caring enough to make a good impression on that youngster!
I'm not sure I understand your locktite question? Are you pressing a new fan hub on the existing water pump? You should have a real tight...
@Scrappy’s designs Did you happen to get all the fancy stitch cams with that sewing machine? I started out with a Kenmore like that. The cams that...
I'd not alter the wheelbase. It'll ride better and be less prone to being pushed around by the towed trailer. Use the length between the cab and...
A young buck could sure pick up the hotties with a car like that. The hot chicks dig pink.
(Note: Amounts not accurate, simplified for an example.) I 've handed a young cashier a $20 bill plus two $1 bills for a $17 purchase, because I...
Beautiful! What do you use for a spindle and abrasive for the engine turning? I've done small aluminum pieces with a pencil eraser and lapping...

It's not a crossover. It's a hose from the rear of each head (actually from tapped intake blockoffs) to the radiator.
Sorry for the late reply here. I always have someone slowly rotate the crank while I'm running the priming drill. Even a wife or girlfriend will...
Resistor is part of the ignition circuit, not the starting circuit.
Those damned chickens! Probably got fired for slacking off on the egg production. :rolleyes:
Doug needs more of that stuff for the estate sale.
O/P said "Replaced negative battery cable to a freshly sanded off place on head, same results.".
When I was a senior in high school our neighbor across the street raced a 66 Mustang with a 300 straight six in it. He knew I was a junior...
Damn, nearly the Holy Grail of long roofs. Photos please when you can.
An increased rocker ratio will increase lift, but not duration.
Prayers for a complete and speedy recovery from here. Sounds like a painful fall. One of my fears is that I trip over something in the shop and...
That sounds like one wasn't fitted correctly if it continued to make noise for that long. Hence my previous comment "the assumption being that the...
Yep, but instead of a "ticking" sound that loose valvetrain makes, it's more of a heavy "clacking" sound like every piston pin is loose, but it...
A little hammer, dolly and trim work on the dust cover should rectify the issue. Might have to elongate a couple bolt holes but.....
O/T Nova I had in the 70's, 350, forged TRW 11-1 pistons, pink rods, steel crank, 4-bolt bottom, ported 462 castings, Torker intake, Holley 3310,...
There is a Dymaxion house in the Henry Ford Museum, another of Fullers creations. Dymaxion is a term coined by architect and inventor Buckminster...
