Forward or reverse pattern?

One way to get around the "using" of others pictures is to ask for a current picture with their local newspaper banner with the days date. I tried this and the seller went dark and the listing was removed.

Ditto on Smith Brothers.

Welcome from another Demon owner in Texas.

In the last picture if the rockers are adjusted properly, it looks as if the push rods are going to contact the rocker arms. Invest in a push rod length checker and get the correct length push rods.

It happens every day at my house! LMAO

DM sent.

The very "first" thing I would do would be to check and correct if needed is the pinion angle. From one of the pictures, it looks as if the springs are sagged badly and affecting the pinion angle. Don't just throw parts and pieces at the car hoping for a fix, start with the basics!

Soup of the day, "Alcohol with H2O croutons"!

Those GT finish panels in NOS shape commanded a premium price even back in the 70s. I had a 67 GT that was hit hard enough to open the trunk. The persons insurance company sent me a check for the finish panel and the badge because they couldn't locate one to finish my car. It took me 6 months to...

More information needed, the link has a problem opening.

Solid or hydraulic lifters?

There are a lot of "truly" and nicely restored cars that go through the many auctions, but then again there are some that are truly "hack" jobs. You know the type, "zip it and flip it". I would "never be a phone bidder unless I had someone that I "really" trusted there to look the car over. They...

I identify as a Hilbilly, born and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. In the area I was raised, it's not a good idea to be up in the rural areas after sundown. Especially if you are driving a vehicle with out of state plates. LMAO

A guy I went to high school with built a 60's Cooper with a 273 and a 4 speed in it, along with a 57 Ranchero 9" rear axle. It was a blast on the street, light weight and very over powered for the time.

Maybe someone can answer a question about all of the wind turbines that are cropping up all over the world. Every few weeks, I have to make a trip to QC the work of some contractors. During the trip I see wind turbines on a rural stretch of highway and only a very few of the many that are out...

We are getting down to the last of the legends of hot rodding and drag racing, RIP Ed.

Always check the manufacture date before anyone mounts the new tires. There was an instance of one of the big tire outlets selling tires from after hurricane Katrina. The tires had been moved from stores that had been submerged for months in the brackish polluted water in Louisiana. The...

"Mineral Oil", it softens up the glue or paste that the old gaskets were made with. It's none etching and washes away with soap and water.

I hear you on trying to match Winchester Gray. A friend spent days adding and subtracting tints to the supposed factory aftermarket paint to get it to match some scratches he wanted to cover.

Soak the partsl in mineral oil for 24 hours and work the off junk with a plastic scraper. That way the is no gouging and chunks taken off the mating surfaces.

I had heard a while back that they did away with the trivial exchanges of monies. I think it was only if you exceeded a couple of grand or more in the calendar year.

I was at the hospital visiting my mother before her first cancer surgery the day it happened. My youngest brother was employed by a NASA contractor at the time. He rushed off the JSC south of Houston to report in.

Welcome from Texas, nice looking FB 67 Barracuda. Just keep in mind that the 67 cars have a lot of one year only parts on them. Have fun with your build and don't get frustrated.

There was a father and son shop here in my area that basically robbed their customers. The father was charged, arrested, tried and jailed. The dumb *** son opens a shop 5 miles from the old shop and starts robbing people again. The county set up a sting operation by dropping a car off and...

Offenhauser Dual Port 360* intake, I forget the part number but it is a decent low buck street intake.

Welcome from Texas, my stepson and his bride live in Poznan. The wife and I got to visit them 3 years ago during Christmas and New Years. We had a great time going to the Christmas markets while we were there.

Welcome from Texas, it looks like you have a solid foundation to start with.

I don't know if TCI transmissions have changed, but a few years back they were referred to as TCI, "Total Crap Inside".

They were the go to plce for my transmission builder before he retired. He was able to save us money over the parts houses kits and 99% of the parts were US made.
