Even drew blood…impressive!

Went to a local show yesterday and took the A12. Normally we would drive the car there, but instead decided to haul it with a recently purchased vintage ramp truck. Kinda took me back to when Minnesota Dragways was around. Would have fit right in!

Well…I’m goin’ old school! The A12 guys gave me some sh!t…but I don’t care! Sportin’ N50’s out back with a ‘rake’! The masses love it!

Sure looks like a 1310 to me. A 1310 joint has a 1.063” cap diameter not 1.083”. I’d say that’s within .010” of what your wife measured. Yes, I agree by the picture, that it looks offset unless it’s the angle in which the pic was taken. Get rid of it if it is…no reason to use one of those. I’m...

Measure cap diameter and then determine if the caps have inside or outside retention. Pass on the results of your findings.

Slow tension with a strap probably won’t work. It’s going to take a very large slide hammer or ‘shock’ to remove it. Quite frankly, If you’re able to see the housing is bent from just eyeballing it from the out side and not using a line bar once the axle shaft is removed, it is probably bent...

The cap diameter is different, that’s why when sitting flat on your bench, the 1310 caps don’t touch. 1310 is 1.063” and 1350 is 1.188” cap diameters respectively. The trunions of the u-joint will share the centerline of the u-joint…they have to. I understand you bought a 1350 yoke for your...

I guess my question could have been taken two different ways…sorry. What I meant to say was “how much power without the bottle?” Did you dyno the engine?

Nice build and welcome to the board! What kind of power off the bottle?

So do any of you guys know what determining factor led to a car having the bright molding on the lower valance vs. not? Was it part of a package or did it have its own option code? I cannot seem to figure out a pattern on the cars that have the bright molding vs ones that don’t…

We had issues with the internals coming apart. Teeth breaking and chipping. Seemed to be a metallurgical problem.

Clearly, the fake block stamping was done without using a ‘gang’. The numbers are all out of line and jostled. Hell, the spacing even varies from digit to digit. The factory stamped the block digits all at once using a ‘gang’ fixture. I agree with the post above, why would someone randomly pick...

John will be missed! God speed…

Shop dog…

What is 'that place'?
