The Jalopy Journal
You mean my photo of a '20s Dodge bucket that was deleted because of radial tyres might be allowed? Heavens to Murgatroid. What's the world coming to?
He should be on a restorers forum, not a hoodlums forum.
Am I glad we don't have to use antifreeze Downunder. We do have a recycling facility for politicians. It's called government.
When you're ready to run it, let me know and I'll come and watch. About 35 years ago I was at the Gunnedah swap meet. A bloke had a fuel injection...
You're a good man Harv to do that with those carbys (I like to piss people off calling them that). I hope they put a note with them where they...
"They've gone plaid". Loved Spaceballs, the movie.
If it was me I'd get it, get it running good, even if only in the 9's, and then run it till I was comfortable especially money wise. If I wanted...
We will. You know it's almost criminal to leave that languishing in a shed and not running down a dragstrip.
I don't know how you feel Squirrel, but the rest of us are sad to see it go down the road. Life goes on.
If he did it being a dickhead, fire him. If he did it because he hadn't been trained in the dangers of the forklift especially on slopes, he...
What about aluminium (Australian spelling) for the injector stacks? Should able to get it in the required thickness (or thinness (if there's such...
That looks like a Corvette lover's wet dream.
My 2 cents worth is the springs are there to take the weight, the shocks are there to soften the rebound, not to take some of the weight bearing....
I didn't notice you doing 'Vroom Vroom' noises while sitting in the cockpit.
I'd be asking the neighbour if HE has insurance to cover the damage to your property if the tree falls onto your place.
I'd like to be there when some kid spots it at a garage sale in the future. "Hey Grandpa, what's a spark plug?"
Now that's car racing.
Let's not forget 'Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey'.
My uneducated guess would be someone had it disassembled and dropped it. If it ran good before, don't worry about it.
Run Bosch in my avatar. Haven't changed the plugs for about 2 years or 60 or 70 dragstrip runs. Gapped at 48 thou, clean them every couple of race...
I'm going to ask a question. In Australia our power points have an actual on/off switch as part of the unit, whether it's a single, dual or even...
The engine in my avatar is basically 70 years old. Holden didn't use them after 1963. I think originally they were 6.5 : 1 compression ratio....
Here in Australia you get 91, 94, 95 or 98 depending on where you get it. Yes, we have PETROL because GAS is what comes out when you fart unless...
Maybe the engine hasn't got as much Hi Compression as you think? Could be a bit tired.
Getting shit in your eyes is traditional!
When my brother was an apprentice boilermaker he would have to get up in the night to put cold tea leaves in a wet rag and put on his eyes to ease...
At the moment on a 5 cd player in the shed we have Best of C.C.R. , The Tractors, Status Quo, Jim Croce and an Australian band that wasn't around...
This is probably not applicable to the thread but in Australia you would have a hard time getting insurance on a vehicle that has a roll cage...
I looked into this a few years back when doing a '39 Chev. The glass people said no problem but their advice was not to use clear in the centre,...
These are not recommendations on what to use and what not to use. Make up your own mind. My father died last November at the age of 92. He rode...
