Re: Opinion needed on fuel pumps
The reason I like my little 12v momentary switched pump is for the joy of the instant start after it sits for months. I have the utmost respect for bone stock original vehicles and their keepers too....

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
My big valve day started out slowly. My valve face grinder came with an aftermarket electric submersible pump for the coolant. I tried it back when I got it and it whirred so I thought was good....

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
This saves me the trip to town in the suburban. With our island gas prices hovering just south of six bucks/gallon I don't venture into the big city of Eastsound if I don't absolutely need to. There...

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
Hey, It's sticky and slippery at the same time, sounds like a good choice, but I'd still have to take the hour to drive to town in the morning to get some. I'll probably use the assembly lube on the...

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
Got some nice gears yanked out for my woodie's engine. Welded up a quick slide hammer out of junk and it worked great. Pulled 2. One beauty one, one not so much. 2 good crank gears both good came off...

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
Skip, I see we were talking about two different things here. The cover I was talking about is on the back of the block and your plate is on the pump itself. I still need to take apart a couple of...

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
Maybe I should find someone who has that shaft instead of driving one out. I'm pretty sure I can get a new one in there. I have some monster C clamps, brass hammer etc. Anybody have a picture of what...
