  1. I have a camper on site. I guess I'm all in?. but I work in the heat and live 15 miles down the road. this year will be the first time I get to do nationals after dark. they are suppose to play a drive inn style movie after fireworks.
  2. rim flex, it's real.....
  3. every time sparky saw me and my 49 royal he would tell me he wants to buy my car. he was a great man
  4. areait's a shame that sparky passed away, he hosted the rock a Billy area.
  5. I believe I meet you last year 51cambridge
  6. the Nationals are approaching fast, I will be there with my 49 royal. hope to see some other forum members there.
  7. how tight are the fenders mounted on bottom, maybe they are flexing while driving down the road and bowing outward. kinda like the checks of a running basset hound.
  8. Engine is a c45 Chrysler long block. I wrote da dizzy fo a topic but auto corrected to damn dizzy..... Ha
  9. The PO apparently just through a spring in there that was way to long out of something else. I'm assuming that one broke or something. My car has a stumble on acceleration and I know that the springs aren't right and I replaced the vacuum pod and would like to tune it all in
  10. Where can I get shims for the vacuum advance, and spring set for the fly weights.
  11. I to would assemble and fire it up. What if you had an issue and had to send it back to the machine shop. It may be another year to get it back. So that's 2 years, and carry the one. That's to long..
  12. So searching all over the web it appears the most common set up on this master is the port furthest from the booster is for the front brakes. I have it hooked up backwards on my car.
  13. What all was done to it. I just used break in oil primed the oil pump ran it up to temp a couple of times, rechecked head torque and then drove it normally. I didn't change the cam tho, and that may need more attention if done, but not sure on that.
  14. Same size ports.
  15. Equal size Chambers. I'm trying to get a picture
  16. I have a question on master cylinders. I bought one on line and now went to install a year later and have no paperwork. I don't believe any came with it. It's a 4 port style and resembles an old impala unit. It's a drum to drum, drum disk, disk disk universal. I'm not sure which port is primary and secondary. I've called and scoured on line and seems front and rear options are out there. I'm not sure it even mater's on this until. Any ideas would be great.
  17. my baby
  18. I don't even know what to say. That sucks. If you had insurance how would you have been compensated on such a rare unreplaceable object?
  19. Did this problem get resolved, I believeThe valves may be open if the timing chain is done wrong or the valve adjustment is wrong. With #6 @ tdc either #6 or #1 should have closed valves. I would check the valve adjustment
  20. What about the rear, what have you done back there. I want to do both front and rearshock/sway bar work. At highway speeds my car kinda feels like a sail boat rocking and swaying.
  21. Make sure the oil tube from side to side is in correct or it will rub on the crankshaft.
  22. Bags, tags and coffee cans. Lots of pictures. Shop manual at your side. I like to photo copy pages often used so the greasy fingerprints don't ruin the manual. I also like to laminate a page with torque specs and adjustment procedures.
  23. My vehicle did the same thing, a previous owner put the wrong fluid in the fluid drive torque converter.
