They make even more then that. Spark plugs, filters a whole assembly of stuff. Almost non of the cars down there are restored and most have had the motors swapped out for something agricultural and a little more fuel thrifty. Might be a few cool cars to drag back here. I have a Canadian...

Darn. I could really use a box with some better syncro's/

I actually have a T5 World class in the garage. My Tbird is pretty much 100% original, not restored or pretty, other then the radio so not really looking to do much beyond maybe change the rear gear and find out if anyone ever made a fully syncroed box that would look stock and fir in the car...

THANK YOU. I could not remember the code to sve my life. Getting old.

Is there a common name designation for the three speed manual in a 1955 Thunderbird. I would like to order different gear ratios or swap the box out for a four speed manual with overdrive. But for the life of me I cannot remeber if there is a specific tranmsission or name for the three speed...

It is supposed to be a 1/4 Isky. I have run it on a few different carbs that I know are good. With a tri power setup i get 10in/mg with a single 97 I get a bit more say 13.5in/mg. Same rough idle though. New points and dwell was set to book. With the gauge on manifold vacuum I get the...

Quick question I have a 312 y Block that has ~1500 miles on a rebuild. Only problem was it was rebuilt built in ~1983. I have been going through the motor and it runs just fine with a rebuilt carb and a F100 distributor with the proper vacuum advance. Only issue is at idles at ~600rpm the...

Maybe I am a bad guy but I paid 3$ bucks for a hour of parking yesterday and I parked outside there little flagged off parking and walked around and took a looked at the car's. Mind you I do not have a stock model A by any stretch of the imagination so I am not MARC type of guys but I did get...

Maybe I missed it but where is it going to be shown. I would love to putter out and take a look as well.

Man I want one of those things. Guess I am going to to look into how much more I have in the sock drawer.

Final gear is a 1:1, tires around 28 inch would be around 2400. I know that I quick change is really the best option or a overdrive but its not in the budget. Was hoping to keep it under 750$ total. 3.27 and moving my tires up to a 31 inch would drop me to 2200ish range at 60 which is much...

Does anybody have a source for 3.00-2.75 gears for a Ford Banjo rear end. I have only seen one company offer a 3.27 and at 849$ it seems a little excessive. 3.00 gears would put me at 2300 rpm at 60. 2.7's would put me at ~2000 at 62mph. I cruise on the freeway around that speed. This is...

Do you know where in SD he is moving?

It has to do with adding mass to the center of a panel, as you get closer to a seamed edge there is less ability for the metal to distort or make noise. 20% coverage in the center of the panel tends to be enough, then use the savings to buy a good closed cell foam sound mat that you can apply...

http://www.lindertech.com/bhrs/flathead_chev.htm This is Bubba website. I just ordered one today so I had it on hand. I have tried futzing with the loadomatic and came to the conclusion that without a ventri vacuum source I would never get it to run right.
