I know it's been discussed to death, but for me it's been awhile. Got two new Stromberg 97's from Max and straight linkage. I've read that one should use the rear carb for throttle linkage idle control and have the front idle screw all the way out OR removed, and have the rear carb and related...

The last time I ordered Ross Pistons, they came from Red's Headers and well, that's not happening now. Pistons & rings are about the only things missing from my collection of "next engine" parts. I'll be looking for pistons of an as of yet undecided oversize along with metric ring set. I seem to...

I see H&H announced availability of Eddie Meyer 8ba heads, they look great but have a premium price compared to others like Offy, Edelbrock, etc. Just wondering how they were regarded back in the day and well now? Just kind of an opinion question. Thanks.

I have some nos early rod & main bearing inserts which I will not be using. The best descriptions are the info on the boxes pictured here. I'd take $50.00 for everything plus shipping but if someone has a particular need for something, I'll break up the bunch. I just want to see them go to...

I have some rod & main bearing inserts that I will never use and will be properly listing them in the Classifieds. I would like to see them go to someone who needs them or one of them. Just wanted to open for any comments or info as I'm not fluent in the pre '49 stuff. Thanks.

Last year when '39 Merc windshield rubber seal became available again I bought one even though mine are OK, just to have it. What I do need is the seals for the rear windows. It appears that Steele has them available however they're round, is that is how they are prior to installing on the...

I have a pair of aluminum heads that I may use on a future engine build, I've already invested in professional repair of the thermostat bolt holes, and now I have a more cosmetic fix to do.

I'm using NGK B7ES-11 plugs in new Offy heads, ignition is a GM dist-points and a Bosch coil. I was curious about the -11 designation and looked it up on an NGK spec sheet, it relates to gap, calling for .044, seems excessive, my gaping tool doesn't go that wide. Wouldn't something like .025...
