    lifter noise

    Tightened the rockers (1/2 turn) while the engine was not running.. engine was warm... used a BF'N rachet to turn the crank to properly position rockers while tightening. Is this the correct way to check / tighten the rockers?

    lifter noise

    no marks on the insides of the rockers. I am going to give it a couple of weeks and a few more break in miles before I consider replacing the lifters. Is there any chance that a poor tune might have something to do with this? The carb is set up really rich right now and the timing could...

    Lifter noise

    I used the old scewdriver to the ear and the valve cover method and it seems to be coming from under the valve cover. So I am convinced it is not an exhaust leak. The rockers have a small amount of play side to side which I believe is normal. I rechecked the rockers and they are tight no...

    FIRE EXTINGUISHER

    Who has a fire extinguisher mounted in their car? I am thinking of adding one possibly mounted on the trans tunnel (no console) I really don't want to go with red or chrome. The interior has a lot of brushed aluminum (steering column,steering wheel,gauge cluster pod and glove box door) and I...

    Should I be worried? 65 hood

    Obviously it is difficult to really ascertain the true value of a car without seeing it in person. If the car is truly solid >>>>>>>>>>>>>> (frame rails/floorboards/trunk/cowl etc..) then 7k is IMHO a bargain. Based on your description it sounds like a fair price. The car "looks" clean and...

    Are you passionate about cars?

    Zookeeper, That is way cool.. I have two boys (9 and 12) and I try to get them involved in minor mechanical projects as well.. They have a couple of 4 wheelers that we change tires,spark plugs,do oil changes,adjust the chain etc... I don't want them to grow up without any mechanical...

    Are you passionate about cars?

    Zookeeper, No offense taken. I am actually envious of people that have or are able to make the time to build cars for themselves or others. I felt the need to post because there are some people out there that challenge your manhood if you did not personally build the car from the...

    Are you passionate about cars?

    Passion? I recently had a builder build me my dream car. Why did I not take on this project myself? Time... That is what I do not have right now.. I have two young sons. They are very busy with sports (I coach 3 of their basketball teams) And I own my own business. I used to turn...

    Barrett Jackson

    Over the years I have purchased many items at charity auctions.. (Nothing in this price range!) My understanding has always been that one may deduct (for tax purposes)the full amount of the price paid that exceeds the actual value of the item purchased. Obviously this becomes a grey area at...

    hood hinges

    I might be wrong but I don't think these could be made for $350-$400 :shrug: It is easy to underestimate the expense of building a specific part. What is the real cost for these hinges out the door? One needs to include: Materials labor design costs (patent/legal fees if applicable)...

    hood hinges

    My builder bought them direct from Ring Bros. www.ringbrothers.com These hinges first appeared on Ring Bros. black 67 Mustang (featured in Hot Rod Feb. 06) They were initially offered @ $800 and then they dropped their price to $600. I frequent a couple of Pro Touring websites and...

    hood hinges

    I have a set of these installed on my 65 Fastback.. They are admittedly pricey.. I really like the look and it finished off my engine compartment nicely.:nice: It is really no different than spending money on a set of high end wheels or any other quality appearance mod. Also as an...
