  1. Load that baby with moonshine and let's GO!!
  2. lube to use in the rear end. K Y 90w is what my doctor uses. first over 50 exam I left the doctors office and immediately called the rape hot line.
  3. go here.... not cheap purchase but claims of 50% energy savings. http://www.tankless-water-heater.com/
  4. hope you got the chance to look at the color on the metal outside in natural light. I was going to say sunlight but I catch a lot of flack here sometimes for bringing that subject up. (it's that bright orb in the sky you sometimes see up north in the summer time)
  5. 1958- dual antennas, dual headlights(on each side),dual exhaust,dual (or split) front seat, dual armrests(fold down in rear),dual mirrors, dual spotlights,dual dice hanging from rearview mirror. basically a big fat dual beast headed your way. 4 sealed beam headlights two on lowbeam all four on high = the demise of cool. 57 chevy vs 58. 57 ford vs 58. 57 plymouth vs 58. 57 corvette vs 58. 58 was a bad sad ugly year for Detroit. Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

    Steve, go to the top of this page, click on LZOC club which takes you to the home page for this club, click on "sources", Jake is listed there with address and phone number. Just got my dist and coil back from him this last week, great transaction, don't have motor running again yet(nothing to do with dist, just rebuilding the fuel pump, carb., sending out water pumps to Skip.....) but I am quite sure it is a great job. Jake says he is out of condensers right now, Earl Brown for original housing type condensers or NAPA part# IH-200. Dave p.s. welcome and have fun with your driver.
  7. O.K. you two, go to your seperate rooms and think how to better spend your time. Go on.... no loitering....go..go

  9. O.K., I am humbled (or shamed ) into this. I too will be glad to do a similar setup here in the Orlando area. Now, who wants to give me a cherry, beautiful 55 T'Bird so I can get started on the project?
  10. Love to know more. I love to write, just don't enough about anything to write about! I'm a frustrated novel writer with no ideas or knowledge.
  11. I see you are a columnist for Mopar action. Mopar Action, is that like Military Intelligence or Jumbo Shrimp?
  12. No religious references please, keep the forum car related and above board or bored. I was about to use a big word but I don't know any.
  13. As my intake is coded 10.1.47 I would hazard a guess of 10/1/47 or October the oneth 1947.
  14. Dave, the diffenerce is relative. The big hit with anyone is overdrive which in a good case will be a .7 reduction. Apply that to a 3.90:1 ratio and you end up with a modern and comfortable 2.73 ratio at cruising speeds in overdive. To apply this to an individual situation, if your engine was humming at 3500 rpm at 55 mph with the 3.90 ratio, the above overdive would drop rpm's to 2450 or .7 X 3500. Whereas a change from 3.90 to 3.42 with the above would reduce engine rpm's from 3500 to 3045 (I think, doing this on paper, can't find my calculator) or 3500 X .87. 455 rpm is not much of a reduction. 3.9 to 3.6 probably wouldn't be worth the effort. Remember, I haven't a clue as to the rpm and speed, just picked out some numbers for comparison. Divide smaller # by bigger ie 342 divided by 390 12% decrease ( .876 ) not much. 2.73 divided by 3.90 30% decrease YEE-HAW!!!
  15. I'm sorry Rich, I must have been asleep at the switch, I didn't see the post and didn't even realize the event was here. I will certainly try to attend on Saturday, drive down in the am and back in the pm. As long as the ice and snow aren't too bad between here and there.
  16. authenticity manual as well as the chassis parts manual and repair manual are invaluable tools. Through patience and detective work you can some day sound as smart as all us smart asses! Hang in there and good luck. Go to the LZOC home page, click on sources and look for the boys who sell da literture stuff, or books as I like to call em.
  17. I'm not a recalcitrant! I have a job, over $5.00 in my pocket, am legally married and was born in this country! (that should cover what ever the Hell that thing is) OH, and I know who my parents were, or the two people that said they were!
  18. "so your maanifold is definitely a post war speed equipment item, meant to use the late postwar 4 bolt mounting carburetors" Rolf Ah contrare (sp) Rolf. I as recently as four weeks ago held a dual carb aftermarket aluminum intake in the very hands that type this message and it was set up for two each three bolt base carberators. Dave
  19. I don't know Jack about jacks, but I am impressed. Good job Robert and unlike many school projects, this one will help others for years to come. Congrats.
  20. I won one! I won one! or at least co-won one. I be soooooo happy now. Now if I could just have my vehicles look as good as Phils'.
