The Jalopy Journal
That's certainly taking the long road for what should have been a quick trip.
The one I have on the build I'm doing now is 2º negative on one side and it looks like ass. Before I put it on the road I want to get the camber...
Nope, not Sid. Okie Joe is the guy who sent me the ugly axle.
I need to get another axle dropped, because..... ......a couple years ago I sent off a real nice stock axle to a fella in the state south of me....
Maybe try that again? Click on "Thread Tools" as circled in the below photo, then "Edit Title" and make sure you save the changes.[ATTACH]
In a lot of the GM cars of this era, the front brake drum IS the hub. I guess it wasn't obvious enough, eh?
Thanks for the tip @alchemy. I'll send him a PM.
With points open (or not making good contact when closed) you'll have the same voltage on both sides of the coil. If the points are closed and...
Many years ago I bought a Spalding Flamethrower for short money, from a guy who was selling his stash of parts. I had no immediate need for it,...
@Kiwi Kev Great collection, thanks for the virtual tour! Does the pickup have another radiator hidden somewhere? The water pump outlet hose seems...
The only issue here is if there are "irreplaceable" things that are destroyed, be they cars, trucks, family heirlooms, etc. In some cases no...
For '67 - '84 318 New .040 over cast EngineTech 1516-8-040 flat top pistons with used rods. Brand new pistons, no rings. One rod cap missing....
@Desoto291Hemi I like the old distributors too. My old New Yorker had a dual point distributor from the factory, and it's still doing what it was...
The Johnson radiator that I bought for my '31 Model A is stored in the box it came in, but I did unpack it just to have a look and make sure it...
Don't see a link in your first post. Can you add it? Thanks!
Keeping you in prayer Larry! We're going through this with my mom, physically fit as can be at 89 years old, but the memory is slowly going away....

Thanks! It looked a bit like what was on my '40 pickup years ago but not quite right.
I'm sure a couple dozen of you know what year and model this is from. I don't, but would like to know. Thanks! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Not Buick, and I'm pretty sure the Pontiac and Packard straight 8's were both flatheads.
What am I looking at here?[ATTACH]
@J.Ukrop Great story! Thanks for sharing, and more so for caring enough to make a good impression on that youngster!
I'm not sure I understand your locktite question? Are you pressing a new fan hub on the existing water pump? You should have a real tight...
@Scrappy’s designs Did you happen to get all the fancy stitch cams with that sewing machine? I started out with a Kenmore like that. The cams that...
I'd not alter the wheelbase. It'll ride better and be less prone to being pushed around by the towed trailer. Use the length between the cab and...
A young buck could sure pick up the hotties with a car like that. The hot chicks dig pink.
(Note: Amounts not accurate, simplified for an example.) I 've handed a young cashier a $20 bill plus two $1 bills for a $17 purchase, because I...
Beautiful! What do you use for a spindle and abrasive for the engine turning? I've done small aluminum pieces with a pencil eraser and lapping...
Looks like that bell also has the Chevy and BOP pattern.
It's not a crossover. It's a hose from the rear of each head (actually from tapped intake blockoffs) to the radiator.
