Just a quick note to let everyone here know that I am still operating and don't know why Google lists my business as "Perminately Closed". I can assure everyone that I am very much open and working. So much so that I don't have much time for message boards so, to get in touch, you will have to...

I would like to know the axle position on a 34. Is the axle in front of or behind the spring? I know it is not directly under it like a Model A.

Just want to put this out for consideration, all beware. In the recent weeks I have had 3 motors come in with leakage at the rear and once the pan was removed, the failure was clear. The babbitt was broken at the thrust and the bearing cracked. Also, the center and front main were not bonded...

I recently obtained a 33 truck 4 cylinder and have rebuilt it. I get a lot of calls for these B motors and will sell this one if anyone is interested. You can call anytime 8-4 M-S ( no Sunday please) eastern. The number can be found on my website. Price by request only...

Along with the price of the cars in my first post, I would like to offer here a motor. I don't know if this would be the correct forum for this motor but here goes. I recently obtained a 33 truck 4 cylinder and have rebuilt it. I get a lot of calls for these B motors and will sell this one if...

Just thought I would come by and see if anyone here could help me with a price estimate for a car. Some here know me from the A side so you will know this is a little outside of my wheelhouse. I recently had the opportunity to see a 1934 tudor sedan that had been a barn for about 60 years. This...

I finally got around to measuring the fixture today. Mine was made from a solid piece of stock 2.5 X 3.5 X 4.5. The holes for the bolts that make it a clamp were drilled first. Two are offset from the other two. The hole in the center is .8900 and was drilled after the clamp holes. The block...

I spent most of today and yesterday in the shop chasing vibrations in an A motor. Not just any motor but a fresh motor going to a customer in St. Augustene. Not that his motor has anything wrong with it but I see lots of people on here complain about vibration at 45 mph or so or their motor just...

1. Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet. 2. To the optimist, the glass is half-full. To the pessimist, the glass is half-empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to...

For everyone who has been to my shop to pick up and to all in the future, I am moving. Previous customers will be happy to never have to drive up my driveway again :D. I found a building 2.5 miles from where I am now and has a great highway presence. The price is right and the owner is great ...

For the first time, I have occasion to need the compression height and spring pressure for the valve springs in an A engine. I have always used new springs and never had a problem but I have a performance engine in that needs to have the springs checked.Les Andrews book states the springs are...

I took this picture 2 years ago on Christmas Day and Bill Stipe blew it up last year. For my birthday, my wife had it custom framed and gave it tome on the 20th of last month. The spot for the hanging was her idea.

I am getting ready to put a set of 94's on a 4 banger and need them rebuilt. I had the card of a fellow in SC that does this but lost it. Can anyone here help me find him?

Got a stumper. I drove the Cabbie yesterday to the station to get some gas because it was about empty. I showered down in first and shifted to second. With the throttle floored in second the engine cut out like it was out of gas so, I just let up thinking it was about to run out of gas. Shifted...

I have a customer that is looking for a B high compression head. He cannot use a Model A head since the engine is going in a stock truck. Anyone here know where I can get one?

I have a B engine that a customer wants re-built. The engine had a Model A flywheel on it. I know the outside perimeter of the B flywheel is smaller than the A but is there a reason for this difference? I have an idea but am not sure of my notion. :confused:

I found the wood in my Cabbie rear belt is dry rotted and has to be replaced. I need to contact Steve Cannon at Classic wood in Greensboro,NC. Anyone here have his number?
