I wish you were closer, my retired uncle in Missouri has a couple acres of K cars and Horizons. He was a body man and fixed them as builders back in the day. I drove one myself for several years. Kind of the model T of the 80's

Nitriding is only one part of the issue, taper on the lobe and proper radius on the lifter bottom is the rest of it. Yes a cam needs proper oil and break-in but if the cam and lifters are not properly machined it will still go flat. I watched a Youtube video of a guy and he rotates the cam by...

Panhard bar will drag the tires as suspension goes through travel. The longer the panhard bar the better it is, I would not use a panhard bar on a big tire narrow rear axle where you have no room for a long one. Diagonal link is the easy and most common way to go, only drawback is ground...

I have no desire to move to a place that gives you diarrhea when you drink the water. Have some friends that wound up in the hospital from food poisoning shortly after returning from a trip to Mexico, and as mentioned another friend who has a place leased, and one day the owner just said you...

Where I live 91 octane non alcohol fuel is best we have at the pump. And that is what I use in my street cars, mainly because it is more stable when they sit and no corrosion or water issues from the alcohol. Issues you should be concered about as mentioned are spark knock and valve recession...

My daughter lives in Farmington Missouri, went to see the eclipse and measure her house for some windows I am going to install. Thousands of people showed up all over the area roads were a total mess. I55 south of St. Louis going south was closed for a while due to the traffic jam. Took me two...

beautiful car enjoy, and while it is not a show car to your expectations, maybe you don't want a show car to have fun in. Just from my experience you take all the time and money to build a show car and you are scared to have fun in it because of rock chips and driving it in the rain. So...

I am 68, and took what little I had out of mutual funds and just put it in the bank, 2008 really hurt my stocks, and when it finally built back to a decent level, I just took it out. And yes, I screwed myself, but at least I did not have to worry about it anymore. I want to ask one question...

I us I use some stuff from Dollar General it is called Totally Awesome I use a cheap ultra sonic cleaner off Ebay. Example of before and after. Yes in my experience the Zep products may take off the finish.

Throttle pressure has to overcome governor pressure to upshift or down shift. The relationship you want is at idle the throttle lever is just touching the throttle valve, and at WOT the throttle valve should just be fully depressed. You have to have this mechanical relationship for the trans...

I would agree that some adversity in life makes you stronger as long as it doesn't destroy you. And not just in getting a good job, but relationships, and just life in general. One of the things many people fail to do is separate what they need from what they want. And are always unhappy...

the guys talking about the converter balance have you in the right direction, the only thing I can add is make sure the kickdown linkage is working properly. 440's are a little wider and taller, will make the linkage adjustment off. Kickdown rod should just be bottomed out at WOT, and just...

I don't mean this in a bad way, but the day of the flat tappet camshaft is over. Just like a lot of other things from my youth are over. I have been building engines since 1972, my first was a small block chevy that the oil pickup fell off of. The OEM stopped making flat tappet camshafts in...

I had that done a couple years ago, walked in a boot several months, but after it healed I was able to walk again without pain, even went on some wilderness canoe trips and portaging with a heavy pack and all was good. Main thing is that you stay off of it, the bones have to heel at just the...

Lot of things could cause your issue, but the one that makes most sense is lack of fuel or running lean. I would install a fuel pressure gauge inline tape it to the windshield and do some WOT runs just to make sure supply is good. ON old cars I have had rusty fuel lines and cracking rubber...

Not really a street rod, it is going to be a nostalgia car 1934 dodge with a Max wedge. Got the engine on the dyno and it made 605 ft lbs and 596 HP , trans is done, and got the roll cage finished and starting to hang the doors.

The missfire counter in your computer operates off of crankshaft speed, if the computer sees the crankshaft slow down at the same time it sets a code for that cylinder. Or if it can't pick out a cylinder it sets a random missfire code. Often when an engine missfires it will affect other...

Are you going to the mopar Indy swap meet in Indy in March

I am in the slow process of building a 65 coronet convertible with a gen III hemi. I am doing it because I want a road trip car that is dependable and fuel efficient. Granted I like preserving the classics, my car is a plain jane 440 trim that had a 273, no air and no options but power...
