    e-brake

    I intend to use the 9" pinion e-brake that out there. Seems like the simplest way to get past inspection.

    Need opinions on my rear end

    79 454 3/4 ton GMC truck engine. I'm assuming peanut heads, all standard except for a 280 something degree Crower hydraulic. 635 Carter Comp AFB, which, believe it or not is what Carter recommends if I'm not going to spin it past 5,000. The Carter is on top of a Performer RPM. I picked 5,000...

    Need opinions on my rear end

    It's not often someone gives you goofballs an opportunity like that ! I'm converting my old altered into a street car, and I have to ditch the 4:88 spool. I bought two 9" fords for the pumpkins. One is a 3:00, 31 spline, good, that's what I need for my MARK WILLIAMS rear end. Good thing I...

    Adding leaves to front spring.

    Ron, I've been wondering if I was trying to fix something that "ain't broke". I've looked at many T-buckets in this area with both big chevies and big fords, and all but one of them had a typical bucket spring like mine. When this car was in it's prime, before it came to live with me, it was...

    Adding leaves to front spring.

    Uploaded with ImageShack.us When this car was a race car, it had a small block, and the front end worked fine. Since, I have added a big block ,which means an extra 75-100#. I know, the shocks need to be stood up, something I plan to do when the chassis side of the build comes. My question...

    O/T, but I need your help/knowledge

    Uploaded with ImageShack.us Shapes for wood bracing are all made, all the rest will be simple 1x2 hardwood. The local home store gives me a choice between birch, and red oak (much more expensive). I tried a bit of glassing yesterday, on the panel behind the dash, I don't think the instructions...

    Uploaded with ImageShack.us I'll probably have enough room in the door jamb for these screw heads. If not, I'll countersink and use 1/4x20 flatheads. This side took all of twenty minutes. The other side will take less time. Thanks, Mike

    O/T, but I need your help/knowledge

    Uploaded with ImageShack.us I'm proud of myself! I bought some bear claw latches, and they came without attachment plates. I could go to Speedway and get some, most all these latches are made by Tri-Mark, so they would probably fit. But then It occurred to me that part of this journey is the...

    Wiring Tips

    Thanks, I'm going to build my own as opposed to buying a pre-made loom because I want the freedom of deciding where components go. Besides, part of this journey is the learning process....Thanks, Mike

    Wiring diagrams for a GM system

    tfeverfred, Where do I get the distribution panel? Will the electrical supply store have the different colors I will need? I've done some motorcycle looms, this shouldn't be much more complicated. Thanks, Mike

    We learn this by doing. What seems hard at first glance becomes routine after doing. Mike

    I don't understand. All the posts I've done since I signed up have had images, no problem. There were two that I changed the size on so I could get two images on one reply, is that what you are talking about? Mike
