If I want to install new front drums, is there a way to separate the drum from the hub, then install a new drum with new studs, with home tools? Nothing in the "Green Book" about this. I don't want to damage the hubs as they are hard to find. Thanks in advance.

The impeller to housing clearance is .003" on the Ford pump. It's .050" on the new one. See photo. Just wondering if this will affect the flow and how.

Could the crossover pipe and manifold heat valve make the left bank run 8 to 10 degrees hotter than the right? Stats are tested and system in proper shape afaik. Also, how should the weight be orientated when the valve is open? Are the arm and butterfly in the same plane? Thanks.

The first new vacuum advance control sent for my stock 8ba loadamatic distributor would not hold vacuum when applied by an Actron hand vacuum pump. A replacement was sent and I pump it to 15# and it slowly bleeds down to 0 in about 15 seconds. Is that acceptable?

On a long smooth slight incline, my stock 8BA, with Ford Holley can start to stumble like it's not getting fuel. I flip on the auxilliary electric fuel pump and the issue instantly goes away. Otherwise she runs perfect. This happened before and after I rebuilt the carb, which is in great shape...

Saw a '50 with the rear plate bracket upside down, which drops the plate a bit. Does anyone know if this was a "thing" maybe to make the car appear lower?

I bought two different BA9s LED bulbs in hopes of brightening up my '50 gauge cluster. Seems the retaining pins are too short and the bulbs will not anchor in the sockets. What am I doing wrong? Might try wrapping the bases in thin copper sheet.
