Free Parts

I'd forgotten about that! Old age.... Now if only I could choose what to forget.

That looks more better. Wish we had a Tractor Supply close by.

Correction on the CSI flexplate shield. I can find no evidence of CSI making one for a SBF so evidently that's for a SBC - there's no top bolt like real...

[DanStokes]

Did you see my offer of free SBF parts? Worth a look - it's in General.

Dan

[DanStokes]

Dunno. Worth a phone call if someone is interested. For what it's worth it might be excellent for a street car (won't have to pass inspection) as it...

[DanStokes]

As I've cleaned the shop I can across some parts that need a new home. Not fancy stuff buy somebody might need them for the price of shipping.

The MOPAR expert Galen Govier (SP?) said that he often got in arguments with customers who wanted a "100 point" restoration. So he'd give them...

Sounds like a lack of understanding of the function of the crank fillets. Did this put the pistons wrong way to? Or were the pistons/rods assembled correctly...

[DanStokes]

Way, WAY too long! Hope to dig the ol' boy out in the not-too-distant future, The Volvo tach is out for retrofit by Redline Gauge Works (see this month's...

[DanStokes]

The goal was to maximize the pin offset and therefore "dwell" by installing the pistons backwards on the rods though some piston designs won't...

[DanStokes]

OW!!!! I know the feeling.

Dan...

[DanStokes]

At one time there was a theory that there was more power available with the rods on backwards (I think that was with a BBM but it's a fuzzy memory) so...

[DanStokes]

Another effort to use otherwise wasted space:

There's lots of room under the mezzanine that's just hanging out doing nothing. I have some...

[DanStokes]

Perfect timing!

Chicks dig scars!

[DanStokes]

The only reason I'm really concerned at all is that wheel hop is hard on parts so I want to fix it if it's not TOO expensive. I'll look into Cal-Tracks...

[DanStokes]

Why yes. Why do you ask?

The shocks are staggered front and back. They are fairly new (I installed them since I got the truck) and most of the miles are jostling on the trailer...
