I had a welding/fab shop for 30 years and I had a Company come down and look at our shop and they said we needed 2 units in opposite corners of the shop and the reason being is to keep the dust and the smoke in the air till it finds the filters. I thought they were just trying to sell me more...

Yes, you run a #10 gauge wire from the battery to the plus side of the gauge and then a 10 gauge wire from the other side of the gauge back to the big post on the alt. This was a common practice on a 1956 because there was not a lot of things drawing juice in the car like there are today. That...

Could you drill and tap it and put a couple of 1/8" set screws from the side?

The red bike I built for my bike to ride. I have a big Harley that I turned 70 this year and it was getting pretty heavy for me so I am selling that one and the green bike and the old BSA I bought reasonable because they were in disrepair. I fix them up in my spare time and sell them to support...

I would inset the booster in the firewall and move it over so it lines up with your pedal, shorten the bracket inside and the rod. If you need a little bit more room inside z the pedal a little bit.

Thanks Bob for posting my junk, thought I would post a picture of what is in the garage. Yes, the small block for Tator is going to be bigger and badder than last year. Just blew my budget for parts. Thanks again for bending that tubing it fit perfect in Tator.

what kind of carb is this?

Did you put the little wire clip in that goes between the float and the needle? And also check the float drop. There should be a tab on the float to set the drop. If it drops too far it can cause the needle to cock in the hole. Hope this helps.

Great job Bobby! Very respectable times on both cars!

I have done several 37 chev cars and trucks. Always using the stock frame, but on all of them using a small block chev the HEI distributor has to go as close to the firewall as you can get it and still get the distributor cap back on. That will allow you to use the long or short water pump and...

Take a 12 volt test light, hook one end to a battery post, hook the other end to the battery cable that goes there. Do not hook that cable to the battery. Take the other cable put it on the other battery post. If the light is on you have a short circuit somewhere. Start pulling fuses one at...

Do a search for V8 Volks by T&L by Bob W. Has the complete build of 1964 VW

go on e-bay and punch in trailer edge trim.

most of the aftermarket sending units I have dealt with, the stud for the wire holds everything together with a plastic washer on each side of the metal plate with a nut on top. I just change the plate with the old one. hope this helps

Most auto parts stores sell that adaptor, the O'Reillys in my neighborhood part # is MFA350 and they are $24.95 that is a milling brand part.

Even if this altenator squeals like a pig it should not put out 15.5 volts. It should be around 13.2. It has to have some kind of regulator. You can use the old style chrysler regulator on any make altenator just by hooking it to the field.

I just realized how really old I am....That Mopar voltage regulator is a 50 year old part! There is a buy it now on e-bay for $14.00 if you local autoparts don't have one:o

If you full field the old Mopar alt by grounding the field it will charge full. If you have an old style Chrysler alt they have an output terminal screw that goes to the battery. They have a ground brush and a field brush. Looking at the back of the altenator going clockwise you have the...

Been awhile since we posted, Christmas and all. We have gotten quite a bit done, the frame and floors and inside and outside are painted, rebuilt the motor, rewired the whole car, ran all the gas and brake lines. Got the gas pedal and brake pedal, transmission linkage hooked up. The drive...

It used to be done quite often when you put a 605 steering box in a 55, 56,57 chev. They used to sell an extender kit or sometimes they would just cut the long extention off of the chev box and add it to the 605 (google605 box) Terry
