    Frame mounted fuel filter

    I'm looking for a good frame mounted fuel filter to put before my Carter p4070 fuel pump. I'm looking to put a valve before it. I have my pump on the frame before the engine mount and would like to do regular maintenance due to ethanol gas problems [ E-10] and winterizing etc. What do you guys run?

    Fuel leak question

    I put saran wrap over my air cleaner and gas cap. Keeps junk out like moisture and keeps fumes in, its not a total seal if there's pressure it will let it equalize.

    $20 dollar Power Bleeder

    I read the instructions from a commercial unit and they say about 10-15psi is what you need. Im going to put about 2 quarts of fluid in. I can always pump it back into the containers when done. If I think I can use it within a week or two. I had it up to nearly 20 psi so far.

    $20 dollar Power Bleeder

    I built a power bleeder out of a 12 dollar garden sprayer and a barbed Milton fitting. I used the stamped steel master cylinder cover that I welded the vents closed and then welded a stainless steel bung onto with super missleweld. The bung is threaded with 1/4 npt fitting for the male end of...

    Getting IN your T

    Im almost 47. I can see myself putting a door on the passenger side of the bucket. Also, one of those bathtubs with the door for home like you see on TV doesn’t seem like a bad idea either....

    Front Calipers stuck

    The spring is a great Idea. I might have to do that. The pushrod was creating an over-center type condition that wouldn’t let it return fully. Also while down underneath the car I noticed the pressure brake light switch was a little wet with brake fluid. I have it on the rear circuit. I...

    Front Calipers stuck

    Its the pushrod. I think the geometry isn't right. I shortened it some more and will go from there. I might have to fabricate a new one.

    Front Calipers stuck

    Both were stuck. I let it cool and there released. I'm going to look at the pushrod. I messed with the pushrod a few weeks ago. I will start there.

    AHC Coating

    I’m going to fab up some zoomies over the winter. I have been looking into the eastwood coatings. But might go with LO-KO superkote if they turn out great.

    Story Time.. (long post)

    So in 2018 I parked my nearly complete T-Bucket in the corner of my garage. Work and house projects took my free time away. This past spring I resumed work on it knowing I had a few issues that needed to be ironed out. The first problem was a spongy brake pedal. I have my master cylinder under...

    Auto trans lockout switch.

    I could very well do that. I got a relay for the brake light already.

    Auto trans lockout switch.

    Thanks for the responses guys. I searched for 35 minutes for something like that summit part. I guess I had the terminology all wrong. My column doesn't have that feature. I could install it but it would require tearing that whole thing apart and putting it back together so the signals cancel...

    Lesson learned

    Chrome is very hard. The good stuff anyway. Use oil on the die.

    Auto trans lockout switch.

    I got a Th350 trans and the state wants me to have an automatic transmission lockout switch so the car can only be started in neutral and in park. Chevy or gm ever make such an animal? I got a column shift without ignition. The key switch is on the dash. Any ideas?
