I might not run the car for a couple of months if that makes a difference. I also read about jacking up the car on one side to let the gear oil run down to the bearing. Do I pack th3 cavity between the seal and the bearing with high temp bearing grease. Getting close to finishing the rear axel build. -- Edit...

Haven't posted for awhile since we've been on a 3 month long journey selling our place in the 'North' metro and buying one in the 'South' metro just 5 miles from where we used to live, and where our daughter, son-in-law, grandson #1, and grandson #2 due in March live. That's the main reason for moving si...

Hi everyone. Thinking about powder coating the axel housing. Is there a possibility of getting media in the housing? Will I have to wash the housing out. There is a company in Wabasha, near lake city. I want to leave the pinion shaft in place. I hear that the pinion flange seal will melt and have to be...

I have been looking at gauges as I just have the lights. I want to keep those functioning. Water sensor will go in the drivers side head. Voltmeter will go to battery. That leaves the oil pressure sensor. I don't want some kind of mess around the rear block standard location. But maybe that’s the o...

This car has been around a couple years, but I got to see it in person last week. It is absolutely magnificent. In the video he mentions a few things, but look at the door jambs, where the fenders meet the cowl, and the quarter to tail area. So many little things were changed. https://mothers.com/blogs/...

Late model dodge 4x4 crew cab dually. We usually only use 2 hoists, however, was easier to just hang the drivetrain on one and roll frames around.

On my way to ky, just in to Il on some bak roads. By the time I turned around and made my way back to them. 8 police cars had the place surrounded.

Each year at MCACN there seems to be one car that really stands out to me. This year, it was this unbelievable 65 300 sedan with original paperwork to prove it was factory COPO with solid lifter 425hp 396.

Don't know if this was a rerun, but a fellow FFR builder sent me a note saying Carroll Shelby's "personal" 427 car sold for $5.4 MILLION.

Thought this seller was in USA. Payment went to someone with a bunch of slash mark. Don’t really need the product until next spring.

Good morning all. Just thought I'd share that I'm heading out for one last ride sometime on Saturday due to the nice weather. If anyone is interested in joining, shoot me a PM and we can set something up. Not going to be a long haul, maybe a short tour through some back country roads around the Otsego/S...

Trying to find out if this will fit a 350 SB with a 4160 Holley with a 66 winters intake. Not sure how the closed vent tube will line up with the valve cover vent hole, clearance with the hood, or accelerator rod. I also have a 3/8” insulator for the Holley carb.

Has anyone had any experience with resonators to reduce drone on an exhaust system? Looking to reduce some exhaust drone at constant speed and this is one thing that has been recommended to me. -- Edited by Jon H on Tuesday 2nd of November 2021 08:09:01 PM

Nott a very goof photo. I think I have solved th other leak. Is there a way to clean and seal this up? Thanks.

Where does everyone store their cars for the winter. Im looking for storage close to the cities. Also what is a going rate per month. Thanks

Is this necessary? I would like to run 66 valve covers that aren't designed for a breather or to be vented to the air cleaner base. Thanks

jim larson · jim larson

Well I test fitted my BB air cleaner assembly on the SB this morning.nn looks like everything will work for a closed system with a 3“ filter and cover just like my 66 BB. The other option I am looking at is a dual snorkel cover with a 66 base. I can probably run a pcv to the oil fill tube or the drivers side val...

Last weekend I ran the Chevelle at Road America near Elkhart Lake, WI This track is intimidating, but it's a challenging 4.4 mile course where all the legends of the sport have driven...

I must have done something wrong when I installed the wiper motor and linkage. opperates correctly in both speed; but when I turn it off it comes to rest vertically, help.

Just went through all my 4160 parts. Have about everything. No stud. Might you have one collecting dust in the garage? Now I must look for a Air Cleaner gasket and wing nut. Thanks

Well I cant figure out where this spring came from, maybe my Chevelle maybe not. It was on my bench near some parts from the wiper motor. I removed the wiper motor to clean and paint and replace some of the mounting bushings. when I put the wiper motor toigether and back on the car. Or maybe it came from s...

It's that time of year again... I pulled the trigger and did a VIP entry for the Roadster. Sometime in the next month I've gotta get under it, do a "bolt check", and change the gearbox fluid (5K on it now from "out of the box")

jim larson · jim larson

Has anyone done this or helped someone? The only think I've found so far is a universal kit from Shiftworks. It just a rod that you bend with a bracket for the trans and a bend to hook up to the column. I didn't find anything on the Loker site. classic-performance-products-universal-column-kit
