I have a friend I grew up with in northern Minnesota that has a 1950 Lincoln with a 337 CI flat head that Lincoln used in cars from about 1948 through 1951 and then some truck applications. Last year he noticed a lot of coolant leakage and is sure he has a block problem. He tells me these old flat heads are kin...

I need a set of rocker moldings anyone have a new set laying around that they don't need ? Roger 612 483 4827

Whats the verdict? I've read some posts and most recommend metro. Steel is quite expensive, around $150 for a set. Metro about $110 and soft seal about $90.

I've always wanted a better tool for installing control are bushing, pieces of cut up tailpipe were just a pain. So with my new welding skills that still need refinement, I made this tool. The handle allows for smacking it with a hammer for removal after the bushing has been pressed in. It just makes th...

So I wanted to check the overall health of the mystery 350 SBC motor in my Chevelle, and checked the cranking compression of each cylinder when the engine was cold.

When I built the shop I used 4ft Fluorescent lights and as time has gone on they have burned out ballasts or gone dim. So along with the smoke and dust from the years shop is getting dark. Of the 16 lights only 3 are working with both bulbs, 4 completely dead, remaining 9 only have one bulb. Cash is a bit tig...

Never seen this one before but I like the fact it uses vehicle speed and a throttle position input to control when the TCC comes on and off. Never used this kit myself but I see their are a few guys swapping in 200 transmission in the near future. Might be something to check into if you are keeping the TCC. ...

Welcome Gaston Lee to the family. Mom and baby are both healthy. He is named after a driver who won both the Indy 500 and the AAA championship in 1920, and the younger brother to Louis and Arthur Chevrolet.

If anyone has a need for some of these, let me know. I needed some for the Blazer project, and the only way I found them was a box of 100 Au-ve-co.
