The old flat flanges are welded to the pipe while the newer donut type has the pipe flared at the end for the donut gasket to fit. The clamp is...
I will measure from spring center to center tomorrow which will be what the factory used and is good. I was speaking of a rear housing that has no...
I have done this in a pinch and gotten by but ONLY when the tapered edge of the donut that fits the manifold fits a little (about a third of the...
I never go by what a book says or what another truck has. I like there to be no binding of the springs so when the U-bolts are off I raise it by...
I guess "radiusing" (? sp) brake shoes is right up there with black and white television. We used to have a very large caliper (vernier type, not...
Did not realise that a 51 GMC had a push button starter. The 6v starter with a solenoid on my 37 Buick has worked without problem for about 25...
Your slow turning starter may be pulling voltage away from your ignition system so lets test for that. Pull the coil wire from the CAP and hold...
And a few more of it further along. You can probably guess I'm a nut on panel gaps and alignment.
Hope yours is a little better starting material than one we did. We have a really clean two door Master that we cannibalized the front sheet metal...
The factory tank measures 13x13x25 inches which is 4225 cubic inches and there are 231 ci per gallon which comes out to just over 18 gallons but...
If any of the terminology or procedures seem murky don't hesitate to ASK. I know how you feel because without fail when someone tries to explain a...
Damon, The tank is a factory 47/48 one and so are the mounting brackets. The original filler hole in the tank was blocked off and a new one...
Your GMC came with a positive ground system but since you have replaced the coil with I presume a negative ground one it should work. You need...
Some of you have seen these before but since the price is right (free) I'll show them again. Just cut the seat belt buckles off a junker waiting...
What is the overdrive ratio on your transmission? They had T5's with ratios from 18% od to near 30% od. Mark your input and output shafts and turn...
Fellow brought to me a 55 Fairlane on one of those slide back car trailers. The brakes are siezed up so tied a chain to a cedar tree so he could...
There is nothing about an engine itself that can make an odor. What the engine is burning certainly can. Old gas, oil, or a crudded up exhaust...
Have used several nailheads in swaps and they fit well. Most memorable ones were in a Vega sedan delivery and a Volkswagon Beetle. Both were...
There are aftermarket boosters in 7", 8", 9", and 10" that I know of but since they're dead simple to disassemble I'd just pull the guts out and...
Might need a picture. Is the trans a standard or automatic? If a standard (or manual) then the pan is the clutch dust cover but it has no "top"....
