The larger resivor is for disc brakes because there pistons are bigger and need more fluid

I put a dual master on my 34. The important question is what diameter master are you taking out. If the diameter is smaller it will take more pedal travel to push the same a mount of fluid to stop the car so diameter is a big fact. Second I put residual valves is both lines at the master to hold...

Does anyone have pictures of how the frame and covering go on the roof of a 34 five window coupe Thanks Pete

Thanks I was shooting for a 40’s - 50’s East coast rod Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It had pretty tall tires that’s why I think I can get away with the lower gears Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have 4:11 in the rear now with Strange axles and a power trax posi unit I think I may go a little lower maybe 4:30 or 4:40 Than when I flip the gears I’ll have like 3:80’s for highway Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What rear end gear ratio are you guys running for red light bandits with built engines? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There is two ways to hurt a Engine Number one detention will melt ring lands or knock out rod bearings Number two Late timing will kill performance and overheat the Engine and exhaust Both can take out head gaskets The last flathead I did when I degreed the cam in using Cloyes timing gears and...

So here is my question When the Engine was built was the cam degreed in , over the years guys have complained about performance with aftermarket cams and gears but have never checked cam timing. An advanced cam needs retarded ignition timing , a retarded cam needs advanced ignition timing. If it...

If you know the bore size and the ring groove diameter call Hastings rings and if you want to run gapless rings call Total seal. Both company’s will help you out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I spoke to Jerry at Schneider cams about cam wear and he assured me they have as much trouble with flatheads as overhead valve engines. And I don’t feel like being a hero and experimenting for a $10 bottle so for me the zinc is in . And it goes in every Engine I build or no warranty . Everyone...

With all the money we have invested in our cars why would you want to gamble on putting a $10 bottle of zinc in at an oil change. All the cam grinders that I know say cam failure is way up since they pulled the zinc out of the oil. Roll the dice But for my money I’ll drop a 10 and be safe Sent...

The Lodge R49 or the Champion L62R would be great because of them being a retracted electrode but I only found them in England I wish I could find them here in the states My heads are so worked I need a retracted plug for clearance Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
