What is the size and thread count for the block side of the head stud? Thanks!

I replaced the old head with a 5.5-1 and installed a new gasket. Everything is tightened to 55lbs. I noticed some coolant pooling around the nut on the rear driver side stud. I don't see coolant in the cylinder and the exhaust doesn't look as if it's burning anything. Ran the car a few times and...

Is it normal for the engine stud in the center of the driver side to have a sleeve around it? I am in the processes of removing the old studs to install new ones with a new head. Just have a few that don't want to go.

I know stuck heads have been covered a bit, but my question is about making a puller. I have my plate drilled and now need to hollow out the spark plugs. After a few broken drill bits and a large hammer not get the job do how do you knock the porcelain out of the center?

Well I did it again, I snapped an oil pan bolt head clean off after my torque wrench decided not to "click" when I reach proper torque. This is actually the 2nd time I've done this, I know how dumb. The first time was a few years ago and I don't remember how I removed the threaded shaft. I...

The other day I noticed a little noise coming from the motor, but it was faint and quieted as the rpms climbed. I pulled out of the garage today and popped the hood. Noticed the gasket on the water neck was torn and a few drops coming from around the bottom. The knock was back and it almost...

My battery died the other and so I charged it and tried to start the car, but now I have no spark. The car was running just fine before the battery died. I have power every where that I have checked but it doesnt throw any spark when I crank it. What should I look at? Could it be the condensor?

I installed the kit on the front and plan on doing the rear next week. After installing the kit I relined the shoes and took the edges down. I got everything put back together and I have been playing with the wedge adjustment. The right seems to engage and stop strong which causes the car to...

I drove my A around today and when I got home I parked it to work on it and noticed a decent oil puddle under the car. When I opened the hood and checked the oil I saw that there was a whiteish coating in the oil filler tube. I know this milky look is a good indication that coolant has leaked...

What is the best gasket to use for the Snyders 5.5 to 1 or the Snyders 6 to 1 head? Looking at getting one or the other and know this was discussed but don't remember which gaskets work the best.

I have a stromberg that runs great at idle and decent when its warm but when its cold or under mild acceleration it seems to spit and sputter. Im pretty sure I need smaller jets. What is involved and where can I find then. How do I know the size that I have?

I just installed a new carb, intake and header. Is there any problem with running around in it with an open header since there is no back pressure? Ill be doing the exhaust next week but want to drive it around this weekend. The rest of the motor is stock.

Just got my holley in and was wondering how to hook up the choke linkage and what fittings to use for the fuel lines? I know there a quiet a few people out there running holleys, what are you using? Any pics would be great.

How do the Smittys mufflers sound on an A. I am getting a Stromberg with a burns intake and looking at getting a header as well. If I do get a header I will be doing the exhaust and was looking at the smittys mufflers. How do they sound in comparison to the original A muffler?

Went and looked at a 30 tudor. Its been sitting in a garage for 12 years. Looks like someone somewhat retored it in the 90s. The radiator and tires are shot couldnt see into the tank because i couldnt get the screen out. motor turns freely with the hand crank. A few downsides, paint obviously...
