BINGO! It may be a doucebag-sorta thing to do, but it sure made me feel better. I "learned my lesson" gettin' hosed by a machinist... That is...
Well, I hope I have as good a luck with them as you guys have seemed to have... I picked up a good rebuildable core with the 1.23" venturi size...
I can't think of any engine that came with a FMX that I'd want to put a C6 behind... C4's a different story.
The recent post about superchargers and carb cfm's got me thinking about what sort of carbs I want to run on mine. 4-71'd flathead, so I can't...
OK fellas, riddle me this... I'm doing a 4-71 on a 255CID flatty. Alot of the flathead blower rigs (including Roadrunner Engineering's) use a...
I was about to say, check the lawbooks.... In WV it says your vehicle must be equipped with a windshield wiper. Nowhere does it say it actually...
When I was putting together a 393C-4V, my 2 piston choices were Probe and SRP... I don't recall reading anything about the Probes that even was...
Damn dude, that's rough... Mine just cleaned out the bank account, but she's too damn dumb to realize what anything in the basement's worth....
Yep, you're right, the stiff ones need more vacuum to keep them compressed/rods down, the light ones need less vacuum to keep them compressed......
Agreed with alot of what's said, if you run more than 5 PSI the Edelbrocks get pretty pissy. That, and they do seriously suffer from heat, I...
PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T DO IT! You'll be sorry. They're CRAP, very bad port mismatching, we used to sell 'em and they always came...
I totally applaude (sp?) the older fellas goin' back for their degrees. Like I mentioned earlier, in my degree-specific classes the actually...
Anything requiring more than 1/0 needs serious inspection as nothing should require more current than a 1/0 cable can provide. As previously...
I got a son I'd do anything for. Including sellin' off my gear or knockin' over a bank (they've got you're money insured, chill). At certain...
I've only dealt with a handful of 'em, and to my knowledge mine were all late 60s early 70s, but I've not seen one without a modulator. They're...
It might get me lynched since it's from one of the "other" sites, but here's a nice illustrated write up about early FoMoCo steelies... Helped me...
If it's not been rebuilt, use Type F tranny fluid and stay away from the Dexrons/Mercons... I've read plenty about what can be interchanged with...
Go get yourself some 1/0 welding cable, it's about a buck a foot, and it'll be more than enough for anything you'll throw at it. Always bought...
You can check easy, on an FMX the modulator is on the drivers side, pointing towards the back of the car, directly behind the pan... I don't...
Hell, if you're lucky! Half the time the wholesale cost is more than what the big boys sell stuff for....
Have to respectfully disagree with that, there is a difference. I've never used a reg with a mechanical pump as I never needed to, but I always...
I've not seen a mechanical that needs a regulator, but that don't mean there aren't any out there. I had one of those little dial ones before and...
The Cleveland didn't get the run at it in the US like it did in Austrailia/New Zealand, only 5 years and after the first 2 they got dogged out...
I plan on using it, too. I've been doing lots of reading about it and read someone mention that they though the color coat came out so smooth and...
Unless you had it totally rebuilt for a pressurized system (I don't think recoring is enough), no, it won't work. The A motors didn't use a...
I have AAA, so if I get in trouble I just give them a buzz and let them take care of it, so really the farthest I've walked maybe is a half mile...
After all this you better have some damn pictures! :p
WV makes me want to jam a steel spike through my temple. Other than that, it's OK.
Wow, that really is a fanastic price on a teriffic example! Killer deal on a beautiful "core", congrats! I see you're from OH, I know in WV a...
For the record, I taught myself to MIG weld... Practice, lots of Googling, practice, some instructional videos on YouTube, practice, and a few...
