    Shout out to Howard’s Cams

    I’m sticking in a cam in a 318 this weekend and I’m cleaning parts in preparation. Needed a set of lifters and decided on Howard’s 91711. I disassemble and clean any lifter that goes in an engine I put together, and I just finished these. Gotta say, other than some light machine oil, these were...

    Well, I drug home another one

    I didn’t really need another Dart, I have two and this is the third. I really wasn’t even looking for another Dart. I’ve actually been looking for an early D series shortbed truck lately. But I saw an add, noticed the seller was a friend of a friend, and made a few calls. That was Tuesday, I...

    Paging Mr Rat Rod. Mr. RustyRatRod your carburetor is ready

    @RustyRatRod I dug out the Weber that’s been sitting here at my shop for at least the last 10 years. It’s yours if you want it.

    My new CSU blow through 750

    This post is not necessarily to brag about my new carb, (although I am really excited about it) but more to commend a great builder supporting our hobby. I ordered this carburetor from CSU a while back for the turbocharged big block Chevy I built for my boat. I filled out his build form and...

    Hey truck guys, is this a home made deal or did Dodge actually build these at some point? It was kinda cool looking but at the same time kinda weird. Sorry for the crappy pics I was driving.

    What tolerance do you guys use for setting up the installed height? Comp and Lunati both say +- .020 is acceptable but I’ve got shims down to .005 so why not get them closer?
