    Dragging brake shoe

    Did a round trip of 120 miles saturday, stopped for petrol about 30 miles from home and when I slowed down near the bowser there was a scrapping noise from my back wheel on one side. I felt the brake drum and it was hot, when I took off again I could hear it, almost like a brake shoe...

    Edelbrock heads

    Have got a set of new Edelbrock heads for the 39 Mercury engine in my 36, also the longer studs and new head nuts.

    Edelbrock Slingshot manifold

    Anyone tried the Edelbrock Slingshot manifold yet, my past life (before flatties) I ran a red hot tunnelrammed windsor in a hiboy and it did like to have the revs up around town due to the height of the plenum, just wondering if the same characteristic is shared with the slingshot manifold. I...
