Welp. The fuel pump on my stock '58 235 I6 gave up the ghost. Piece of garbage only lasted 19 years. LOL.:D:D:D. It's a dual action pump (fuel pump and vacuum pump for the wiper assist). I come to find they are not readily available and may be obsolete. RockAuto has a listing for it but it...

For all y'all's information: I have a '30-'31 F*rd coupe hot rod with a flathead V8 that I built over more than a few years. Fun car. Love to drive it. It has an original style generator converted to 12V that I bought at the Hershey swap meet many years ago. The charging system on this car...

Recently took a 7 hour round trip in the truck to pick up a steal-of-a-deal professional gas stove that I have been looking for on Craigslist for over 5 years. Part of the drive was at night and I rarely drive the truck at night. I was really disappointed with the old technology headlights...

Bueller?...Bueller? Is this thing even on??? No posts since July 2??? This forum used to be HOPPING. Where is everybody? Andy

I'm thinking of putting a Holley 94 two barrel carb on my '58 235 I6. Is there an adapter plate available anywhere for the original manifold for this engine? Thanks, Andy

Or anyone else that may have the answer for that matter. There's a young fellow that I have become friendly with here in VA. He's 24 year old and has a 1951 Chevy four door survivor with a 235 I6 and a powerglide. Neat car. His 235 has hydraulic lifters in it. He complains that the 235's...

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone on this forum. I know I am thankful for all the accumulated knowledge that is so readily shared here. I wish blessings upon you and all your families. Peace. Andy

The sender is listed as 30 ohms in our hosts's catalog. That means nothing to me as no range is listed. Anybody know the range of impedance for the sender? I'm going to use it in my Hot Rod and want to find an aftermarket gauge that matches the impedance of the sender. Don't ask me why...

Hi Evan (and anybody else who might know), I seem to remember Evan posting YEARS ago how to wire in a headlight relay so the headlight switch itself is not taking all that juice (amperage when the lights are turned on. Seemed like a pretty good idea for increased safety of the vehicle back...

I have a 12 volt generator on my system 235 I6. The system is not charging. Brought the gennie and voltage regulator to the local rebuilder. A quality shop. They do all the local fire department stuff so you know they are top notch. Generator checks out good. voltage regulator was bad so I...

Please and thank you. Andy

Kind of a silly question and I'm pretty embarrassed to ask but... What jack originally came with the trucks to lift and change a tire on the side of the road? Anybody know or have a picture? Thanks, Andy

Anybody have one of these they are willing to part with? Thx, Andy

Years ago when the kids and I were building the truck, I bought a complete stock style exhaust system from exhaust manifold to tailpipe from a place called Kepich Exhaust. They are now out of business and I am having a hard time finding another supplier;ier. Any leads on a stock exhaust system...

Hi all (and especially Evan because I'm certain he's done this in the past. :D). As stated above, I'm considering retiring my tired old 235 I6 and replacing it with a V8. Nothing outrageous, just something to get me down the road. I plan on using an early Corvette 265 left sided exhaust...

So I promised you all a story and here it is...with PICTURES because without pictures it didn't really happen, right Zig?:p Meet Keri Chinappi. The butchers wife. Holding up some A-MAZING bone-in Rib-Eyes that I cooked up for a men's night with my boys last summer. Prime steaks, cigars...

Where does one find these lower gears for the rear end and all the needed parts to make this swap? I have a friend that needs it done. Anybody except Patrick's please. I have been hearing a lot of very bad things about that place over the past several years. Thanks, Andy

I have an original seat back and bottom cushion in very good condition as far as the spring set is concerned. Obviously in need of a recover but no rust out or other issues. comes with the frame if you need it. If interested, I can bring to Fall Carlisle (I'm leaving TODAY for the show) or to...

Price including shipping to lower 48. Nice chrome rocker cover, side cover for tappets/lifters and oil breather. Never installed. Not even mocked up. Been in the bag inside storage for years. Time to let them go so somebody will actually put them on a Chevy six. These will DEFINITELY make your...

I am considering the above. I have a 235 now, SM 420 4-speed with open drive and a '72 Nova rear with 3.08:1 gears. Cruises down the road really well and 65-70 MPH is not a problem. Just wondering if swapping in a SBC is possible while retaining the rest of the driveline I have and what all...
