Re: Flat head back firing pop. pop over and over
I realize that I said it had to be a fuel issue but there are a few exceptions. If there is weak spark such as from a bad coil, or reverse wired coil, too small of points gap, then enriching the fuel...

Re: Flat head back firing pop. pop over and over
The chance that this is the problem is slim but nonetheless I will share it. I was recently asked to sort out a very similar problem on a ‘51 F-1 V8. In the end I found that the owner had installed a...

Re: Narrow V8 Rear Axle
I have a problem to deal with and I am simply seeking help from some more experienced than me. I fail to understand why it’s a sin to ask for help, it should not matter to you what MY car looks like,...

Alternator hidden in a generator case?
I am working on a ‘51 F-1 and the owner has decided to stay with 6V Positive ground. I like the idea of an alternator that looks like a generator. I’m pretty sure that there is at least one company...

Re: Narrow V8 Rear Axle
PS, I have a guy looking for a Maverick axle but even that won’t work unless I can get axles for it with the 5x5.5 pattern because the width added by the adapters would push the total width back into...

Re: Narrow V8 Rear Axle
Even before the Lincoln brakes I was 1/2-3/4” wide so the extra 1 1/2” that the Lincoln’s add definitely pushes it into the “no-can-do” department. Something that will shave anything less than 2” is...

Re: Narrow V8 Rear Axle
I think that I am going to give up on trying to keep the look of the banjo. There are newer axles readily available ( a 10 bolt from a S-10 is one of them) that need very little to modify to...

Re: Narrow V8 Rear Axle
I try and lay out all the information I can but things in I post get missed. I already have about 1,500 into Lincoln/Bendix Brakes. This in fact is the whole problem, those brakes add 1.5-2” per...

Narrow V8 Rear Axle
This is not my first thread on this topic but I have a bit more info now so I thought I would start fresh. My mockup is done and the combination of Model A axle with the Lincoln brakes, the 16” wires...

Re: Back end of a T-5
If you go to the Early V8 parts for sale here the The Barn you will find that Krylon 32 (Gary @ Cornhusker) in Nebraska sells exactly what you need. He’s a great guy to deal with. I have bought quite...

Re: Back end of a T-5
I believe that if you go to the H.A.M.B. Site and check parts for sale you will find at least one adapter plate for sale, maybe more that one.

Re: Back end of a T-5
Hmmm, there’s always something to get wrong but 2.8 is still a small motor. Regardless, I too think it’s the best unit for you. 4.03 was the lowest 1st gear ever available in a T-5 So you couldn’t...

Re: Back end of a T-5
The important number is 1352-234 it comes up as GM 1993 2.8L (which is the 4 Banger) strangely the ratio information is blank, I’ve never encountered that before. You want to google “T5 transmission...

Re: Back end of a T-5
Yes, for your application I think that the lower gear is best. Just for fun you should de-code that tag. You might learn something more!

Re: 1929 Ford Roadster Pickup
All the bs on terminology aside, it looks like a nice “Open Cab” pickup truck at a real good price (if the ad is legit & correct). If it were closer to me (I’m in Seattle) I would give it serious...

Re: 1929 Ford Roadster Pickup
And yes, I know that it is not a true convertible either since the top does not fold down (which I did not know before I bought it) but folk’s know what I mean.

Re: Back end of a T-5
I’m pretty sure I can see that the tag is indeed in place on the lower left corner. Any T-5 is plenty stout for your application, it’s all about gearing. I have a T-5 with Camaro V8 gears in it but...

Re: Back end of a T-5
There were a few variations in the gear ratios depending on what engine it was behind (4 or 6 cylinder or Camaro etc.) You said that it is from a V6 truck so it will not have that low first gear but...
