I put a new motor in my model a, and somehow ended up with a pair of holley model 92 carbs, which are the holley version of the famous stromberg 81 carbs. I can't find any information on them, especially regarding stock power valves or jet sizes. I plan on running them on a gear drive intake on...

Coleman lantern fuel doesn't have any of the additives normal pump gas does. It doesn't leave a sooty residue, and is very low octane

I drove my stock 30 coupe almost daily when I first bought it. My average was always around 16 mpg

I found one at an estate sale. It was cracked but repaired. Also 12 thou had to be taken off due to warpage. I have It on my coupe with a stipe cam, vortex dual updraft, and light port work. Runs pretty hard. It's much thicker than a stock head. I ended up having to make my own distributor drive...

that thing is SaWEET! I have a 28 rpu and their tiny huh? Im 6'2 and its a tight squeeze

i imagine so yes. Im not too studied on the differences. Its a 30' standard.

Hey rock, pm sent. Tom, im gonna need alot stouter engine before i go thinking like that :P Joe, as far as i can tell, most parts are original, but it appears someone has had it apart before ie: mismatched bolts. all of the rivets sheared off the u joint. I picked up a rebuilt transmission...

so i got back to work on it. Parts ordered from synders should be here thursday. Rearend is shot. Missing teeth on a spider and locked the pinion up. That in turn broke the u joint, transmission case, sliding gear, and the clutch is shot too. Whoo!

Got my spare parts and started tearing into it. Ill keep this thread updated as i go along. Also, heres some pics of my pre - 1950 traditional rpu in progress. More a Hamb canidate, but its gonna be fun. Dont worry, ol Maybell is gonna stay stock. Broken case right by the clamshell

Hey tom, still have yet to pick up my rearend. Waiting on payday. Once i have that ill start tearing things apart. Dont like to tear things apart till i have all the parts

Thanks to JW, i now have a transmission. Kinda waiting till i have all the parts to really tear into the old girl

I was driving along in high gear when it happened. The rearend is toast. Up in the air, only one tire spins. Spiders are gone. Wedged in the pinion and locked it up, broke the case on the ******. Had to use the tractor to lift the rear up to get it in the shop.

Driving along in my 30 coupe today when all the sudden it made that sound that costs money. Far as I can tell, the rearend locked up with no warning, which in turn broke the transmission case. So now I'm on the hunt for replacement parts. Whoo!

So my dial in time was 28.070. Just looked at my licence plate. 28-070. What a neat coincidence

What a hoot! Managed to pass tech inspection cause the tech guy was laughing so hard. Dialed in a 28.07 at 45.7 mph. Made it through 2 rounds of eliminations before i broke out of my time running a smoking 27.89. It was a hoot, and i was such a crowd favorite that they had me run an exhibition...
