Not by a long shot. LOLOL

Never mind moaning..........if you can manage to piss or **** yourself , that will add an easy zero to the end of the check. :rofl:

I am curious how someone would disagree with this sentiment. The insurance company is not getting paid to settle claims fairly..........just cheaply. There is a significant amount of damage and there may or may not be an injury. But trying to get them to do the right thing will either take...

That is how I have mine.......Tank , filter , pump at the rear of the tank. -8 to carb with regulator past the end of the carb , and gauge and return plumbed off of the regulator. The return line runs out of the bottom of the regulator , the gauge off of the front port. Not a great pic , but...

I had a .484 lift hydraulic and it worked great.............right up until the pushrod punched it's way through the shitty stamped rocker arm. I had no idea of their life in terms of age or style of driving. But I got a set of Harland Sharps , measured and got some Smith Bros. push rods. End of...

I remember the early days of 10 1/2 " tire classes............the idea was to keep it affordable and the logic was that you could only throw so much power at this size tire. This was 2005 or so , I was at Houston Motorsports Park spectating. 632 inch Gene Fulton BBC's with four stages of spray...

Huh ? You can float them with a roller cam and a rev kit if you have no regard for parts or the laws of physics.. With a solid cam , the springs will let you know when your right foot needs to go on a diet. The only valves that cannot float to my limited knowledge is the Ducati motorcycles with...

The " calling cam experts " title of this thread is also the answer. I had an unground lobe billet for my 48 degree heads and called Bullet. It's been a couple years , but I seem to recall Ken as being the guy I spoke with. We spent at least 20 minutes on the phone as he interrogated me.......I...

That is not a job that is to be taken on lightly. If you have the tools , skills and a high tolerance for frustration , I'd say yes. Know that at least one tube a side is going into the wheel well in most cases. The reason most of the shelf headers for these bodies are 1 5/8 " tubes and 3 "...

My 65 dart stock steering wheel has like a 4 1/2 " dish in it.........went to a smaller diameter wheel with less dish and gained a bunch of room. My seat is fixed and as far back as the roll cage will let it be , so long story short , I screwed up with the build. I should have un-assed the back...

I run the same size as famous Bob.....can't remember the brand for the life of me. I found tires with an S rating , tested to 112 m.p.h.. That is the highest speed rating I could find in this size and they work well.

Thanks for this........I was just about to post the same question. I have ET Streets ......295X55-15 and with SS springs I did some monster burn outs , but never got a hint of hook. I changed over to CalTracs and adjustable shocks. It has an AlterKtion on the front and I know that it will not be...

I do the procedure detailed above......set the exhaust as the intake starts to open and the exhaust as the intake sets on the seat. Doing it cold , you want to compensate for expansion when the engine is at operating temp. O.K. , true confession time. I had to edit because my memory failed...

This is how I do it on mine and it seems to work.

How in the name of Buddha did you get the lash set correctly ? With a hydraulic cam I have done this and given them the 1/2 turn past quiet , but that was with stud mounted rockers. Shaft mounted has to be an adventure.
