  1. Nice, Billy. Im glad you gave your GF a name. shes a sweetie for sure!
  2. My tire guy told me because of a radial design they are fat to begin (sidewall) so I would think if youre using a stock rim (made for bias tires) go with a narrower tire. I kept my bias tires on my stock rims. Modern wheels/rims will set you back. If you want to dig around the junkyard thats fine. Just my 2 cents
  3. I can see that I was refering to the engine ports on a 218
  4. Had some ss braided hoses made for oil filter can. Way too tight to fit up to inlet outlet ports and starter due to fitting sizes. I suppose you could add another 90 to get more room...but now your adding more resriction..theyre for sale
  5. I absolutley love it. What a great thread going back 8 yrs!. heres a pickup version courtesy a 12 pack and a sawzall. circa 1970
  6. late to the party here... but I had some ss braided oil filtrer hoses made to replace the hard plumbing for ezier access to disposable add on filterer as it turned out not enough room to fit up on stupid too close together ports on 218 block! turn this fitting one way? turn an elbow that way? that restrictles flow. its only an 1/8 line with 40# pressure staying with what I got for sale 1 8" hose and 1 12" hose
  7. If I were you slap the air filter on, (that noise might go away) some fresh plugs, and drive it. Compression is awesome. put some good gas in it
  8. If I remember right the 216s had a brass shim (no bearings on the oil dipper rod cap). so a beer can would have made a suitable hillbilly shim. I think they killed off the 216 in 51 or 52 for the 235 thriftmaster. but thats a great story
  9. got gas at the carb? dosent stay lit? now carb comes into question with clogged jets xcettera must have fuel filter somewhere in line before carb. crappy corn gas kills carb parts and sitting for a length of time everyones skill set it different. flex gas hose is pretty standard, ask your counter person Sniper?
  10. boy that woke up a few people in here. I always do engine tear downs with my Crescent wrench. flip flops ? hell yeah... at least get out the spray can and paint the damn thing
  11. when he hammered on the harmonic balancer..is when I lost it. he gets an A for effort and I dug it
  12. Sniper is losing his mind... But how can you not like this"Neck"? please get a pressure washer
  13. stock mats are impossible to find. I went with carpet. check out StockInteriors.com
  14. grab that 49 Marcel Bon jour!
  15. that thing is primo. youre on the right path
  16. all silliness aside thats a damn good looking model. do kids put plastic models together anymore? they took my glue away
  17. wow good topic. my eyes never stray far from my gauges who doesnt have a jug of water in their trunk?
  18. Some great cars on Fargo S4 check it out if you get the right streaming channels I have no idea what the storyline is. Chris Rock is good
  19. GM makes no sense. more than not its a B&B D6 xx
  20. had same problem with air leak with carb to manifold gasket. cant seem to find metal/felt gasket. made new one with felt/ copper /felt sammich gasket. no air leaks
  21. I like those Sam. I was just about to add I have a put togethet sammiches of pt 2x6s I drive wheels on. No ramps or jack stands. and wear glasses..sheesh
  22. Booger

    At first glance at that bridge crane I wondered if you had enough clearance, Clarence. But a nice piece of engineering. Da vinci got nuttin on you, bro
  23. discharge goes to lower port on block. Mine are both 1/8"
