As I read through the thread I was wondering if any one had had this experience. Some guys will angle mill heads to gain compression when you bolt up the intake the bottom of the gaskets will not seal (unless the manifold is milled to match) They will often not leak until after or during a heat...

My 51 Studebaker pickup still here, was also my nephews first car. I graduated to a '60 Dodge "Dart" Phoenix 2dr. Hard top. 318 Poly. The first Dart, though it was a big car weighed in at 4,200 lbs. Have the Stude' in a hot rod version too, been a rod since 1994.

but it smelled divine!

You guy's have about said it all, and very well, If we (Mopar guys & gals) were attempting to fit the mold that has been cast we'd all have red or blue Camaros or Novas, or a tri 5 Chevy. or one of the few Fords that have somehow become iconic. There are the odd other Ford/Chevy choices that...

I put a tilt column out of a '68 Camaro in my Valiant, fit like a glove up top, I also have rack & Pinion steering so how the bottom will fit up to the original steering box I don't know. But I doubt it will be rocket science. I suppose those columns are pretty hard to come by, I just happened...

I've been through all that working in the dirt stuff when I was racing. I am fortunate to have a great shop to work in... That does not mean I want to spend the time & energy on my parts chaser. Rather on the current project. '63 econoline pick-up I will consider the "pill" idea or one of the...

Yup! I wish I could somehow make it be evident someplace else.

I have a 2003 Ram 2500 with a 5.7 lt Hemi. It has developed a coolant leak that seems to be coming out between the block and the bell housing. I assume there are core plugs back there but have never had one of these out of the vehicle. Is my assumption correct? or is there someplace else...

My first car was a "stripper" too... but I think all '51 Studebaker pickups were. That's all my dad would ever buy, at least while I was a kid. The list is very short as he was a mechanic in a Chrysler Plymouth dealership,during all of my growing up years. A '47 Plymouth coupe, '51 Plymouth...

Lot's of great advice shared already. I tried several different oils in mine, and finally landed on Red Line MTL. It's on the spendy side, but I found it shifts noticeably better with it than any of the standard choices. Knowing that the clutch is working properly is a must as well.

I learn a LOT from the words people chose to use in their posts. I learn about their character and the amount of respect they have for those who read what they write. How else will I ever know who I should search out when I need something special. "No matter what you do or say, you are teaching...

ahhh! In-n-Out has really good meat. but give me a "Riverside" (locally owned) they have GREAT burgers. If you're in Southern Or. you can also try: Barneys Burgers, Or if you're in the mood for Emu,Ostrich,Kangaroo, or some other exotic treat go to Jaspars. I didn't know I had it so good...

What he said.

The world is changing much too fast for us old guy's to keep up. I had used the local Carquest store for years and was very happy with the quality of their parts, My store sold out to NAPA in a different location and then within two or three months became Carquest, But alas not the CarQuest I...

we're not in Kansas any more Toto

I hate B/J. That outfit has done more to ruin this hobby that anything I can think of. After watching it some rube that has an old bone out in the field automatically thinks it's time to sell the old rust bucket and retire. The day's of being able to find a project and then afford to build it...

Oh but they do have the talent to spend 30 billion of your dollars. They just can't spend it wisely. If they had wisdom, they would not require $30 billion

And they vote!... that answers a lot

I'll chime in, If you're concerned about the cost and weather it's (the car) is worth what your spending, re-think doing it. We who have been at this for a while know that you have to enjoy the build, and the ride and place a priceless value on the things that have no price tags. if you are to...

I think that's illegal, I Hope this guy knows just how much of a commitment he's making. It goes waaay beyond giving up a kidney. And how fast the "happiness" of owning a race car can be overwhelmed by reality. What a world!!

I have a Holley 4777 on my 360. I can't get the fast idle screw to raise the idle speed. I've tried using a longer screw but that didn't work either, I know this must be a simple fix, or I'm missing something. But I need help. Also the fuel always drains out of the fuel bowl after sitting for a...

The car is about 2 miles from me, I don't think it's run for years, if you're interested get it in writing.

IMO, If you lower the car more that one inch lower that oem spec. the front end geometry goes out the window. Was it all that great to begin with? NO. but with that a fact. you need to be into changing the upper control arms and or pick-up points to achieve more castor, and correct the camber...

I'm down in Medford, I have Small bolt pattern wheels with ???tires on them. welcome to the site.

I have a whole new appreciation for living out in the country with no close neighbors.

And we wonder why the country is in a mess.

try a 6 point socket, or perhaps a metric one that you can drive on. A a good hard smack with a cold wrench. Heat.

Might want to convert the generator to LP. Safer to store, and has a much better shelf life. I don't know of a down side.

'67 autocross has good counsel.

WOW! What a lot of information. One area that has not been mentioned is; How many wheels were actually adding traction to the equation? If the only rear wheel that was on the ground (or had weight on it) was the same one that hit the manhole cover, what did we think might happen? somehow all the...
