Re: Snyder's New Catalog Came...and a Warning!
A good way to speed up the decline of the hobby is to "buy everything you need or might need" and wind up with a warehouse full of good parts when you die. Where are all the hoped-for young people...

Re: Opinion Re Differential Gear Ratio
I don’t have Brent’s extensive experience but my research aligns with his advice here. An engine with the three core upgrades (head, carb, cam) will run 3.25:1 no problem.

Re: Motor Mount/Yolk
Are the springs connected to each other? I wonder if this is the common aftermarket “beehive” spring setup. I believe those had hard rubber dowels under each spring.

Re: engine compression levels.
Isn't a contribution test used to isolate a single bad cylinder? It wouldn't really tell you if all the cylinders were equally worn.

Re: "Special" Intake Manifold?
My crazy speculative theory is that this is a 28/29 RHD intake manifold, extensively modified. The boss for the vacuum port is in the same location as the boss on RHD intakes where the bell crank...

Re: Condenser Capacity
Yeah, you can use the larger V8 condensers in an A or B car without a problem as long as they don't leak. And an A condenser will work fine when using a B distributor in an A car (although obviously...

Re: New Ahooga Horns from Suppliers
I'm curious, why would folks buy brand new horns for $325 when you can buy a well-restored original from any one of several private sellers for less than that? I'm not mad at anyone, just curious...
