Well after 12 years of tooling around in primer, with the help of a good mate I managed to paint the roadster. In just under 2 months for solid work, she's now done. Now to finish off that big stroker will all the good bits over winter and knock over the top for which Ive already fabbed the...

Hey guys, I scored a semi fresh 59L flathead recently, it has a Weber F4 cam, adjustables, 4" crank and as BIG 3 7/16" bore. Everything looks good and I was wanting to give it a fresh hone and fresh rings. Anyone know where I can get a set of these from ie Brand and supplier ? The pistons...

Just curious guys, is this intake a single plane intake? And if it is, can it be run with one carb blocked off ? Of course it will run, but how efficient will the cyl to cyl distribution be and of course will there boe more vaccum/throttle response with the one carb only? Also, will there...

Hey guys, I've disassembled a crab dist which was internally rust free, but find the advance weights are moving in their slots much at all - barely 1mm of movement there. The advance plate is stamped 11A-12181. The slots themselves have a slightly raised "nub" in them which prevent the studs in...

Hey guys seems to be a common issue with our cars :( I went for a run in the roadster about a week ago - ran Ok but them progressively began to run rougher, less smooth on the rev up thru the gears and the odd backfire. Barely made it home. Knowing about the condenser issues, I swapped it out...

Hey where can a good quality .35 MFD condenser be bought online these days? I need some spares. Alternatively, what chevy/mopar alternative will work as a replacement? This is for 12V (not from what Im told) that it should make any real difference? Can anyone help? Thanx ! :D

How is this done guys? These dissys are newer to me than the 8BA type. Id like to try a little more initial timing to sharpen up the throttle response after a cam change. Can a few more degrees initial timing be added? Thx BFD

Hey guys, I was chatting with a mate about which linings are better for fatory mech brakes fitted with floaters. Which lining work better; the woven type or the other "moulded" type? Any why? Inquiring minds....:o Thanx !!

Hey guys only played with 8BAs so new to this engine. I have a quick question re this; do 21 stud head gaskets only go on one way onto the deck? I did a swap using new copper sandwich head gaskets and its getting hot REAL fast whereas before it ALWAYS ran cool. Could I have screwed up and put...

Guys my cam card says a HOT adjustment of int .012" / exh .014" What should the cold settings normally be? Is there a .002" difference b/w the two? If so should it be set cold int .010" / .012" exh ? I usually set em hot on the 8BA. Thanks BFD

I did a search but did'nt turn anything up. Does anyone know if a thicker than stock 21 stud head gasket can be sourced? Something around .070-.080" uncrushed or crush down to .060" I know about thee Best copper gaskets but have no idea what they typically crush down to...

All, Im in the process of swapping my old worn 37 21 stud cam out for a new one ground up for me by Dave at Cam techniques before he shut down. The old cam has a bolt on gear driving a helmet dist, the new one is a press on gear deal which will drive the same dist. The new gear was installed...
