Re: 97 carb on a 51 8ba

Tubman:

I was also going to mention the same variation of the 97 with the vacuum port in the base. I've only seen a few from all the years going to Hershey, but its possible that a carb...

Re: modelA roadster seat to pedals distance

It's tight, but not 6" tight. Can you upload a picture of your set up?

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

Judging by how much of the "eyebrow" under the valve is still present, I would agree that it was a minimal cut.

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

Navarro's pop-up piston design is quite different than what we see here.

The piston was made with an actual protrusion that rose above the deck and would match accordingly to a corresponding...

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

Jack,

I was wondering the same. If you look at one of the picts, it looks like one side of the piston edge seems to be out farther than the other making me think it could have been possibly...

Jack,

I agree. I've dropped off on this thread for a bit and now I'm jumping back in.

Re: Nice forty Ford

I don't mean to derail this thread, but now I'm curious. Looking at the picture Kube posted, how much dust do you think entered through the breather on top of the oil fill tube? I guess that...

Re: Nice forty Ford

Jim,

I know nothing about '40 Fords, but I'm if curious Ford did not offer that "extreme" duty air cleaner as an option in '40?

Re: Hot rod steering box

I would 100% lay out everything before you finalize anything. The further you go forward on the '32 frame rail, the narrower the rail gets.

Use the EXAXCT exhaust you plan to run for all...

Re: Gas under carbs on manifold

You shouldn't have to, but may need to. Have you called Stromberg? Those carbs looks brand new and I know they aren't cheap.

Re: Gas under carbs on manifold

Agreed with the area by the jet screws. While running, take a clean paper towel and wipe around those areas. If you have gas on the paper towel, you found the leak.

Re: Hot rod steering box

Agreed. F1/F100 sectors are splined. F100 also had a pinch bolt on top of the pitman arm.

Re: Crank

Agreed. I just read about the ERay. It's the hybrid, still mid-engine gas powered, but has a 100hp electric motor to drive the front wheels. Knocks off 0.2ths of the Z06 0-60 time to 2.5 secs. ...

Re: Anyone else had this issue

Did the "shoulder" of the stud sink or get pulled into the block allowing it to seat deeper?

Re: Crank

Part of that money is also to get the engine to pass emission standards and get somewhat decent gas milage.

I did not read the article mentioned here yet, but I read a few others on the new...

Correct and may I add the proper ohms for your set up.

Re: Changing of the Guard. A new breed of car nuts.

I'll chime in. I'm 53 and like them both ways, but I gravitate to the ones with a little mileage on them. I prefer them with some bumps and scrapes, not factory minty fresh.

I can appreciate...

Re: Help with a recent 8ba rebuild

Got it, Jim. Thank you and that's what I thought. Maybe you can tell from my post, I don't fool around with the side mount distributors much if at all. LOL!

Re: Help with a recent 8ba rebuild

Just curious, when you guys are recommending to move the rotor one or two teeth, can you explain more what you mean? All of the flathead distributors I've dealt with just have a flat spot for the...

Re: (Best) copper head gasket and offenhauser aluminum heads

You will need to place them on your heads to confirm the needed size. All aftermarket heads are different, so there isn't one set hole size.

Ronnie suggested using a small ball peen hammer and...

Re: 8BA Bell housing

I do believe the only difference is the cast iron truck one will take a 11" clutch and the stamped steel Mercury can only fit an 10" or smaller.
