These are always fun for the investigative reporting so many members here are known for. It never disappoints how fast a car can be identified and...
I saw this listing this morning out of Mass. I knew I had to post it here. I would bet there will be plenty of opinions as to its validity....
Nope, just make your own hole and make it easy for yourself. I did it with both of my cars. It's a lot less work than dropping the tank. I did it...
This thing was posted as a 1960 Ford Ranger regular cab. Just for kicks, because I figured it was a scam, I sent a message and I got a reply that...
Happy to hear you found and fixed the problem. Many years back I had an early S-10 pickup that had the exact same issues as you described. It was...
Look at the coil. Run it in the dark and look for sparking. It sounds like your coil may be the suspect.
The inline has gears, no timing chain. I bet it turns out to be something simple.
You may need to adjust those valves again. Be sure you're bringing number one up on top dead center. See that both valves are closed and the...
There is no need to change the original starter. It will be fine on 12 volts. My 235 and many others here, have been using the original 6 volt...
Just rewire the car for 12 volts. What you're trying to do is practically impossible and not worth the trouble it would cause you.
There should be a Grand National Chopped Merc Show! :)
If the motor works in one direction, it should work in the other direction. It is a DC motor that reverses when the polarity of the 12 volt source...
Roadster?
It has to be the gauge or the wire to the gauge is grounding out. My 235 has never, ever been near 180.

[ATTACH] [IMG] Yep, it isn't a coupe. It's a Styline 2 door sedan. The coupe roof is smaller and the catwalk is larger. The rear windows would not...
That doesn't look like the coupe either.
And they all have Corvette engines!!
It is a nice 54 not a 53. Also it's not a Bel Air. It looks to be a 210?
Like others have said, there is nothing wrong with the pad where the numbers and letters are. They all look like that. The 848 head was a common...
Hey Jerry, thanks for that Major Award! I'm a humble guy and like to look for a simple solution to something that shouldn't be so complicated. I...
It's been years since I've changed my plugs, but, I believe they might be .045 for the the electronic ignition. The plugs are extended tip for...
You did say you have an electronic ignition? Is the coil, plugs and plug gaps correct for the ignition? I have a Mini HEI Chevy distributor in my...
To be sure, and if you have the rear out of a car, turn one axle one revolution and count the number of times the end of the drive shaft turns. It...
How did you set all your valve lash? There is an easy way to be sure by bringing number 1 up on TDC and setting both intake and exhaust lash. Then...
Sanderson make a block hugger for a small block in the 50s Chevys. I believe the stock steering box will not interfere with the Sandersons block...
Could you show a picture of where these clips will go on your car? I have some parts kits for 49 to 52 Belt Molding clips. Maybe they can be used?
Isn't that Templar? While I sit here with my cup of coffee and oreo cookies...
Was the new master cylinder bench bled?
