Man, talk about culture shock! I'd say the same thing to somebody from KY contemplating a move to CA. I'd sure find a way to try that on for size before making the jump. Any way you can go live there for a few months before you just pick up stakes?
if you don't like the look of the connections between the functional pieces of the gasket, install them and then cut the offending parts away. IMHO, I absolutely cannot imagine installing those manifolds on heads with nothing in between. Wouldn't any little imperfection in surface and...
Welcome to the wild world of Classic Auto Air!!!!
I just hope that a few years down the line (of trouble free cool air) we will both be able to think this was a good investment overall.
Yes the original photo (post #1) linkage uses a spring from the kickdown slot to the bracket at front. I think that it functions (using that term loosely) as a kickdown return and throttle return. This means that the function of the slot in the kickdown is completely negated (keeps the...
Newbomb Turk - I have a variety of tests (some that may include oil, or not) that I could suggest to you at this point but we like to keep things friendly here... :lol:
Can't you guys have your (to most here) esoteric engineering battles some place else, perhaps an exchange of PMs. This really isn't helping the OP with his very straightforward request for advice. You have really hijacked the space.
so if this is my choice: loosing 5 hp vs having the engine last 20,000 more miles, I'll pick the more miles... bring on the zinc! I've been using Penn Grade in all my motors since the whole zinc thing came to light.
Well, back to the OP's question. Both of the cars are primarily street driven, correct? If I were you I'd stick the 750 Eddie on the crate 360 and drive it for a while, see what it does for the type of driving that you do - you already have it, you might be surprised. Don't screw around with...
There must be somebody on here in the Atlanta area that would meet with you, take a close look at the warts and drive it around the block and help you price it. You can sell it right here on FABO - lots of folks looking for a base to build something nice, and I've seen lots worse than this...
A friend that deals in Mopar parts found this at a swap meet covered in 30 years of shelf dust in a banana box, with this fancy belt driven fuel pump. All the hard parts say Hilborn. Anybody ever seen a set up like this or know anything about its use???
Remember you only need one buyer...
Don't sell it cheap if you're going to be kicking yourself every time you think about it down the road
How long have you already held onto this stuff?
An ideal buyer would be someone restoring a race car to as raced condition from the era when W-5 stuff was...
