Checking in
Thanks Jim

 

Also checking in

 

May already?

 

Im here

 

Interesting battle going on at the Fordbarn site regarding hydraulic brakes on A's.

 

Starting May right... Just picked up a low milage diamond block last used in a farm truck in Kansas.

 

Thanks Jiminy, checking in

 

didn't know "checkin in" was important

 

When you "check in", it makes it easier to see posts on this thread when you're using the mobil app and the "participated" heading.

 

This is what happens when you start to make some torque.
Not too bad for a valve in block Banger.

 

Wow! Torque monster.

 

Thanks for the link!!!!!

Here is a Little something I am working on this weekend

 

I gotta stop looking at that header, Bill...makes me want to rethink my design

What size primaries are you using? Looks like you're building up a steady transition to 2" (or so) at the outlet. Too cool!!

 

When you "check in", it makes it easier to see posts on this thread when you're using the mobil app and the "participated" heading.
im not that techy ........... thanks

 

Gwhite...
15/8" to 2" on this one....
I an thinking upping it up to 21/4 or 21/2 on mine.

 

Here is a Little something I am working on this weekend
still at it I see . this guy does good things ............... steve

 

Very cool! Thanks for the visit the other night...will be calling you soon

 

Nice work BCCHOPIT. I would ask you to make me one, but the shipping to Oz would be a killer

 

I ship flanges over there 2-3 times a year. You can make your own.

 

Bill, do the pipes go thru the header plate and get welded on the back side also?

 

antique ford help !
does anyone know the url for "antique ford" in so cal ? have the phone # but not the web site ......... thanks .. steve

 

When it's done I weld both sides. The out side I use Sillaken bronze. Nothing is welded in that pic it's all just sitting in place

 

I have looked before, I don't think they have one?

 

Is this what you're looking for? Early Ford Store of CA - Antique Ford Parts - Used ...

 

Bill, Looks nice! I've got to drop by. Still pluggin' away on the wagon.

 

antique ford ?
found out he only has a phone . thanks

RussTee, I bought this Nissin dissy at a swap for $8 does it look like the one you are using? Are the early Holden carbs you are using grey motor carbs?
