I have a stroked 489 Chevy that I built back in 03-04, in my 59 pickup. I used a Holley 770 truck avenger carb, and had the engine tuned on a dyno before installing it. We got 490 hp at 5200, and 560 pound feet of torque, I think at 4100. I'd have to check the sheet. That really doesn't matter...

I'm a month behind, but I have some pictures from the So-Cal second Saturday morning meeting, and from the Sanderson Ford rockabilly car show. Both were November 14th. Earthman and I went to So-Cal first, then to the show. I took a lot of pictures. Some might be bad pictures, some are just...

I decided to start a thread for Arizona shows, so we can just update the same thread. That way I can subscribe, and if something gets posted (here), I'll know about it before it happens, instead of the day after. (happens way too much) I don't check the car show section enough. Anybody with...

I have a few pictures from the 2015 Copperstate Fly-in. This is the first year to feature cars. www.copperstate.org Starting with my favorite:

I'm gonna have to try to make it to this one. http://www.cruisinarizona.com/events/102415casa.htm

What are the opinions on this timing curve? It's a Chevy 250, with 10# of boost (right now, I might go lower), and of course it's running propane. It's draw through, with no intercooler. I called NGK back when I bought spark plugs, and bought the plugs that the tech recommended, based on...

This guy was my shop teacher in high school. He's hosting this on his private property. Breakfast (free) starts around 8:30. Be there!

Okay, so I had this all written, and my browser crashed and lost it. So here is the "I'm frustrated with this" quick version. I finished putting my fan shroud together last night. I've had these fans for a couple years, and they work fine. If I hook them up backward, they run backward. They...

I'm looking around for a good fuse panel for my build, and found this. Motogadget m-Unit V.2 I won't be using it, but it sure is nice. You can do high/low beam headlights without a dimmer switch, without even a light switch, just a button. You can do tail and brake lights on a single...

I wanted to buy a couple pairs of pliers a few days ago. I wanted a needle nose, and a slip joint. At Home Depot, I found good needle nose pliers by Channellock, but no slip joint. They had the Husky brand in a package of four, that had needle nose, slip joint, an adjustable wrench, and...

I'm not restoring it. I just enjoy doing the work on it. I'm pretty much done with it now, and I'll be selling it soon. It's a 47 Studebaker Commander Starlight Coupe. It's pretty much all original. I rebuilt the brakes, and the Stromberg carburetor. I put new points, condenser, cap, rotor, and...

I tore down this old house in Phoenix a few years ago. It had been used as a mechanic's shop for a long time. I always would look through any house before tearing it down, for obvious reasons, but this time I found some neat stuff. There were newspapers under the flooring (something like...

My mother snapped this picture of me (when I had long hair) at a car show, looking at a rat. My son is holding onto my back pocket. She submitted it to Jones for consideration for a bottle label. I'm trying to get as many positive votes as possible, just to make her day. Anyway, I think it's a...

Here goes nothin. This is my '59 Chevy that I've been building slowly since I was 17. It's had 3 different front axles, 5 different rear axles, 5 different transmissions, 4 different engines, 2 transfer cases, and 3 beds on it since I started. I've built the steering a couple of different ways...

I'm gonna give this build thread a good try. [S I've been sorta hiding this project from the public. It saves me from doing a lot of explaining. Now I'm gonna put it on here in front of 11,000 some members of this forum, and see what happens. I got 98% of the pipe for free, the engine (250ci)...

Well I know what it is basically. But I can't tell what it's supposed to look like. From what I can find it's a 3/4 ton from '42, '44 or '45. Made in KC, MO. If anybody can tell more that would be awesome. VIN#5BL092001 Anyway, what I'm really looking for, is what this plate was supposed to...

I've been pretty quiet on here, just sitting back and observing, trying to learn. I have a project I've been working on here outside of Phoenix for almost 4 years. Well if I had been working on it for 4 years it would have been done 3 1/2 years ago, but we all know how that goes. I actually...
