The Jalopy Journal
I saw a local one done up, maybe a '51 or '52 wagon. It had a 318/360 in it plus a Volare or Diplomat front stub under it. Quite sanitary and all...
I'm using a 3-point retractable system up front from Wesco, 2-point in the back seat. The 3-point is tied well into the b-pillar. I had to get...
You are in a tough spot. With my wife's ordeal, I saw life going on all around us, everything with us came to a screeching halt. Spring went by...
Like mine, the trim is tight in the gasket and impossible to move after the fact. I'd say that the whole dealie has to come out.
Carter was making "new" Quadra Jets years back and they were excellent. Rebuilts were more miss than hit. I would get 3 before I got a good one.
This is it, at Jegs. I looked at Summit, they mainly have Speedmaster stuff. https://www.jegs.com/i/Dart/301/01311111/10002/-1
I had the shop do my short block assembly, money well spent and freed me up to do other things. I gave him my flywheel (I reversed the ring gear...
Is the square-bore pattern the same as a Holley? I recall the day when even the lowest of parts store had a wall of adapters to paw through.
Scattered tools, welcome to my world. I recall stock car flogs, tools everywhere and had to be gathered up before going to the track. My Ford...
Amarillo Micro Midget Speedway - Amarillo, TX - 806-335-1053 No Known Web Site 1/8 mile Dirt Low Banked Oval Track Friday Racing: Modified-midgets...
Does anyone have an old Speedway Directory? I do but that is a scavenger hunt in itself.
Not too many years ago, we all laughed at those Life Alert commercials. Now I'm living inside one. I keep a kitchen stool handy to help me get up...
My BIL made up some music discs for my wife to listen to while in hospice. I'm still not sure she was able to hear them at that point. But if it...
Well beyond that... gotta live on the edge. I am X number of days without sharting myself....
Usually in crowded elevators for maximum effect... :cool::cool::cool:.....
How about a hollow rivet? It gets set on the side that does not readily show. PEM also makes press-in threaded buttons that I have used many...
Can we get a side shot of the car, other views? It has to be truly a work of art.
I had a ton of leftover cups and springs from my brake days, I'm down to very few of them left and finally tossed them all out. The Fords of the...
My Uncle Al drove one up until around 1970, no frills black and it had the flathead 6 and the 3-speed. Most of my uncles were diehard Mopar fans...
I have 3-point (retractable) belts on my car, from Wesco. The B pillar is surely strong enough. I bought extra floor plates and re-purposed some...
Update on my condition: The TENS unit wasn't much help. I start out doing pretty well during the day, make coffee, feed the cat and birds outside....
I used to add a pint of MMO to noisy-lifter conditions before doing anything else. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. I would drive it...
I went with NO booster on my car, it would have chewed up valuable real estate. Plus I may have had a vacuum issue with the cam. It stops like a...
How does the car "see" with the eyes covered up? Obviously I need to get out more... :D
Most shops have a "standard" service rebuild package, then it goes cafeteria style for add-ons. Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go? I...
With the stock cars, we needed a cam that flew under tech radar. So it was "cheater" cams with likely a LSA of 114. I found out then that the cam...
Do a search under the OG part number B8A-9002-A. I did that with my car and came up with the best price possible. Which was Rock Auto in 2014.
I run Hankooks from Tire Rack. I have about 13k on them and the car is always garaged unless I'm driving it. They still look like new. On my OT...
I drive my OT cars under 70, my last speeding ticket in 2019 ran me $900 including the lawyer's fee. The Ford I do about the same since I have a...
If mine sits for a few, I set the manual choke and give it the usual pump job. Once I'm driving it on the reg, it starts easily.
