I learned about main bodies being warped back in the 70's. For sure they cause poor running and no matter what you try, just can't get them to run right due to internal leaks. When I first flattened them out, I used a single cut file. Later on I had an aluminum block made that would just fit on...

I drove the car around today. Took it to AAA, got the registration squared away and personalized plates ordered, did a couple of other errands, headed home, stopped off to see a friend, went to the post office then home. The gauge acted normal below 1/2 tank. Car was shut off at all my stops...

On my new acquisition, 67 Coronet deluxe wagon, looks like the sender needs to be replaced. There is a dead spot at just under 1/2 to a little under 1/4 tank. Was reading ok then I noticed the needle went well past E, stayed there for awhile, came back some then past E and finally stayed normal...

I'm formulating a change on their sender too, ahead of time for me as I don't have tank/pump unit yet. Its 1/4" pipe which is a little small already, to me should be 3/8" or even better 1/2",but when you put fittings in you put more restriction in to an already questionable size orifice...

When I worked at the speed shop, this is the unit we used/sold for the Performer intakes. Gives you enough to seal out vacuum leaks and not raise the carb up. Edelbrock Carburetor Adapters 2732

I'm having better luck using the TIG on the sheetmetal. My MIG just loves to blow holes through. Hopefully when I upgrade welders in the future, that issue diminishes with the MIG. As you know, you make do with what you have available. Keeps you entertained. I like your improvising with the...

Greg, as you point out, that style of filter base is set up for the Holley/Demon center hung float units. There was a spacer that Carter made, think it was 3/4" tall, that was a bandaid fix. We found that ROCKET, CP and a couple of other companies back in the day made a drop base that fit all...

As a PSA for ya'll, years ago I was using the Fram racing unit with the chrome canister. It was rated at 10 microns. I still got rust past it giving me many issues. I looked though the Fram catalog, in the back, found there was a replacement cartridge that fit that unit too rated at 5 microns...

By some of the discussions here, it sounds like there is a source for rebuilding the sender. Who does this? Also, who is making a sender gasket thats not a pos?

Thats along the line of the one I made.

In the early 80's, I modified a tool that was for adjusting points on Delco distributors. Can't remember if it was made by Cal Van, Thexton or another company. Anyway, it was about a foot long with a twist knob up top, had a 90* angle gear drive on the other end with a hex key tip sized for...

For the fellow residents of the PRC, here is some info that may benefit those close enough to an Indian Casino. A friend of mine who I grew up with near San Diego lives in Vegas and hauls fuel. I called him one day to shoot the breeze, catch up etc and see where he was at the time. He said he...

Rodents love wiring too.

I like the size of the fuel basket they put in there. The pictures on their site are deceiving.

If you have not done it yet, get the intake valley pan with the blocked off heat riser ports. Keeps the intake cooler which keeps carb cooler.

Give it a whirl. It will be interesting to see how it goes for you compared to other states with different fuel recipes. Out here, along with Ethanol in the mix, we have the CARB [california air resources board] package which further creates issues on the fuel.

I'm rethinking the a/f unit on my 65. Was originally planning to do old school NASCAR cowl induction. Already cut a hole in the firewall, started making a hat, then put it on the back burner due to moving homesteads in 18. Now I'm going to look at heading to the front instead. I may see if I can...

Some years ago I put a CAI, highly rated one with 7 layer filter, on my 04.4 Cummins. It had a box by the rh battery but was not fully sealed. Ran that unit for several years. Later on in a diesel truck publication dealing only with Dodge/Cummins, Turbo Diesel Registry, a gent out of Colorado...

Give it a whirl. As long as the hat base is flat with no notches cut out to prevent sealing and allow junk in, should be ducky. K&N made a unit called the FIPK which was a replacement package containing a large conical filter, fresh air shield and new smooth feed tube to the TB. The feed tube...
