    EI vs Points

    I run a stock mopar electronic distributor with a 4 pin hei module mounted somewhere on the car. The engine just seems to start and run better than with a single point distributor, and no big gm hei cap. It isn’t as easy as just hooking up one wire, but I’ve done this on several cars and it’s...

    Truck cab question

    Cab should be the same or close enough between 83 and 90. I have about a dozen 70s and 80s dodge trucks in my collection here in eastern ks

    Anyone ever rebuild a pressure washer pump?

    I have rebuilt many pressure washer pumps, I used to work for a company that sold and serviced them. The reason for not letting the pump bypass a long time is that it can cause pump damage/failure. Ive never heard of 30 seconds, we used to tell people 2 minutes. What happens is the small...

    Truck Dipstick Tube Help Needed

    Looks like the one from my 61 w200. It has the low mounted 3 bolt starter and several different engine bolt patterns. Mine will work with the slant six and the flathead six, and there are 2 v8 patterns… I assume the A engine and hemi but not sure. Definitely not big block. Being a 61 I think...

    413 woe's

    The 413 should already have a forged crank. I would use some aftermarket aluminum closed chamber heads instead of the old 906s. Piston selection with the 413ci might be a problem, but those rv blocks are thick, and unless it is rusted out bad you should be able to bore it to 4.25.

    Old thread on the FTE (Ford Truck Enthusiast) forum that might get a few chuckles!

    What’s so funny? Seemed like a normal thread on a ford site.

    Do I have my mounts wrong ?

    I think maybe they are turned 90 degrees from where they ought to be.

    Best Carter 4 Barrel Carburetor for a stock 273?

    I have an old competition series carter on a 400 in my rat rod. It works better than any edlebrock ive ever had. I think they messed something up when they put that shiny coating on them. Stay away from the 750 eddys, Ive had a few of those new and used... every one had an off idle lean spot...

    Slant Six Roadster Build

    I love it. Im building my first roadster type car right now. Im using an old early 30s chevy frame, a speedway straight axle front end, and an E body 8 3/4. I just got the rear axle mounted to the chassis last weekend, used leaf springs from the front of a ramcharger. My engine is at the the...

    speedway motors electric brake kit

    It looks like you have the stock type sliding caliper setup. If you havent already done it you can replace the stock A body calipers with the later model police type, they have larger pistons and make quite a difference in stopping power. Putting some kind of power assist will do nothing to stop...
