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...

Yes, very common and you got to get that out for sure.

I guess and I get it, but they seem to look out of place in my opinion.

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.

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

L head,

I'm in the process of doing the same. I'll found the 1/8" shaft stone set from Harbor Freight works well for this job and are very cheap. I was using some carbide bits, but these...

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

Ronnie built my motor and has advised me on many other flathead chores since. He and I spoke about the coolant holes issue with head gaskets. He does and has advised to use copper AND to open up...

Re: Where’s my water going?

Then don't do it again. The last thing you want is to snap off a stud/bolt. If it keeps coming up to spec, they are at spec.

Re: KR Wilson engine lifting bracket

Ahh. Interesting. I don't own one, but I've thought that's how it worked. Thanks for setting me straight. I've been on the hunt for one for years. They've all seem to have disappeared.

Re: KR Wilson engine lifting bracket

Yep. I believe you can flip it 180 degrees to have the motor angled either forward or back, right? The offset changes the angel the motor will hang.

Re: Flat head back firing pop. pop over and over

Check the spark plugs. Carbon fouled spark plugs can cause these symptoms. If not the spark plugs, could be valves. Run some SeaFoam in the gas and squirt some Marvel Mystery Oil in the spark plug...

Re: Oil capacity clarification

This. Does your truck have the rear sump 8RT pan with the large clean out plate? If so, find an 8RT dip stick for it.
