  1. Only after the following date and engine sequence # February 24, 1954 110 HP engine replaced 100 HP engine. Power Flite automatic transmission introduced ($189.00 MSRP) after engine * P25*243001.
  2. Like Anthony said..this stuff be violent...has caused many of people to go blind due to caustic burns from splash and aggressive mixing procedures...DO read instruction real close...safe handling and you be ok..do not get in a hurry this stuff stays potent. Safety note from a lye soap making page.... Note: ALWAYS add the lye to the water, not the other way around. Adding the water to the lye can cause a volcano-like reaction. Lye is getting very hard to get...Red Devil pulled their product form the shelves I have heard for two reasons...meth labs..??? and the other is libabiltiy due to people not reading and following instructions. Ace hardware still has a similar product there were selling in 16 oz containers..you may want to check with them...if not on the shelf..they can order it (or used to) where I got mine for the hot tank.
  3. Definitely a different looking head than I saw while in the 'boro couple weeks back. Looking sharp...
  4. In my application with the 41 Dodge w/383 I did not get a radiator so opted for a 3" aluminum Griffin from Summit along with the 2" x 24" tranny oil coller. I also have AC. All my stuff is forward of the rad mount. The rad is going for about 195.00 and the coller is about 40.00. In my 52 I have the 360 also..radiator mounts forward of the shell here also for proper clearance..(running AC here also) I will run a stock rad out of a Dodge 318 Dakota..oil coller is integral. The 51 wagon with 3.9 V6 will set with stock rad position. Will use Dakota application radiator here also....A500 4 speed auto so again oil cooler is integral. Just keep in mind if you use the stock radiator, the pressure cap will have to be very low vent pressure to prevent bursting of the old seams in the stock unit. My opinion..others may differ...
  5. nla
  6. I should have mentioned that my neighbor came over complaing about the same thing and called a 1/2 mile down the road at a friend's and they reported same condition...Have seen isolated cases where x-former or x-former grounds flaot and flux..but this was the area it seems...have watched them run my power up to proper voltage via radio signal and my voltmeter attached to the power..as I was on the phone with them.
  7. can't answer that myself...only the effects of the weight is felt different..as I read it... see above posted link to web site..
  8. Using a Runts will do the trick..remember..one per each device..will stillsurge on turn on then level the voltage... As for the direction of the motor..not a pernament magnet motor..therefore not polarity minded...it is instead electric magnetic field and thus the same direction..your starter and blower motor will work the same way..
  9. now we are into Messages per Thread.....I'm going for coffee and a snack cracker...
  10. must be minutes per trip...I mean just how long does it take to get the car from the garage to the driveway?
  11. try this: Sprung Weight Vehicle weight either moves directly with wheel movement -unsprung weight- or indirectly with the wheel as cushioned by the suspension spring -sprung weight. The long and short of this is that the latter is good and the former isn’t. Unsprung weight moves with the wheel. The more unsprung weight, the stiffer the spring/damper assembly needed to absorb the energy imparted when the wheel hits a bump. This both compromises the suspensions ability to keep the wheel on the ground and transmits the upset to the suspended weight. Various links, control arms, dampers, springs etc. are attached at one end to a sprung member, i.e. the chassis, and at the other to an unsprung component such as a wheel carrier. Accordingly, these are partly sprung and partly unsprung. Put the expensive, light weight rod end on the unsprung end. Low mass wheels have the added advantage of decreasing rotating weight and gyroscopic inputs.
  12. I know for a fact that Don C. guages his in SsPM...
  13. I have a couple more articles on the bomb..if interested PM private e-mail..will send it along...lot of he said-she said between pentagon and the people on the plane...
  14. Los Angeles Times October 4, 2004 Legend Of Lost Bomb Resurfaces With Facts Reports of radiation traces off Georgia spur experts to investigate for the first time in 46 years. By Associated Press TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. — Below the deck of his shrimp boat, W.G. Smith recounts the story of his big catch more than 40 years ago. It was 1959 or 1960, as best Smith remembers, as he trawled for shrimp off the coast of Georgia. His net snagged on something large, an object so heavy he had to get a diving buddy to shake the net loose. "He dived down and when he came up he said, 'That's a bomb,' " recalled Smith, 72. "I really didn't think much of it. I thought he was cutting the fool or something." Smith's 50-year-old son, Glenn, figures his father caught the "Tybee bomb," a 7,600-pound nuclear device dumped by a damaged B-47 bomber in February 1958. In this beach community east of Savannah, the lost bomb has been a legend for so long it's hard to separate fact from folklore. For the first time in 46 years, the Air Force last week led a team of experts to investigate reports of radiation traces that might reveal the bomb's location. "I thought it was over here, and then I kept hearing it was over there," said handyman Harold Michael, pointing in several directions from his seat at the bar at Cafe Loco. "You listen about and there's probably a thousand stories out here," he said. Islanders remain divided over whether the Air Force should recover the bomb or leave it. The government says the Mark-15 device is incapable of an atomic explosion, though it still contains about 400 pounds of conventional explosives. Three years ago, island Mayor Walter Parker and the City Council sent a resolution to the Air Force, asking that the bomb be found before the military declared it nonthreatening. Five months later, the Air Force rejected a renewed search. Now, Derek Duke, a retired Air Force pilot who has privately sought the lost bomb for five years, says he has detected radiation patterns that he believes might mark the bomb's resting place near the southern tip of uninhabited Little Tybee Island, which is about four miles south of the Tybee Island beach community. So the military sent a team of 20 experts to gather water and soil samples Thursday. A final report will not be ready for several weeks.
  15. Atlanta Journal-Constitution September 30, 2004 Team Sent To Test For Location Of Old Bomb By Charles Seabrook The Air Force on Wednesday dispatched a 20-member team of scientists and technicians to Savannah to evaluate new information that supposedly gives the location of a hydrogen bomb missing since 1958. The information comes from Derek Duke, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel who told the government that he has pinpointed the unexploded bomb's possible location in Wassaw Sound between Little Tybee and Wassaw islands, about 15 miles from Savannah. Duke, who lives in Statesboro, made it his personal mission the past five years to find the lost weapon. He believes that unusual radiation readings he has recorded in Wassaw Sound mark the bomb's location. After a preliminary review of Duke's data, "the expert consensus was that a visit to the area would be prudent," said Air Force spokesman Lt. Col. Frank Smolinsky. The multidisciplinary team will take water and soil samples and radiation readings and analyze them. A report of the results will be available in about two weeks, Smolinsky said. The bomb, jettisoned from a B-47 bomber after a training mission went awry, lacks a key component and is therefore incapable of a nuclear explosion, said the Air Force in a 2001 report. A two-month search immediately after the accident failed to turn up the bomb, and the military called off efforts to find it. The device is likely buried in about 5 to 15 feet of mud and poses no hazard to navigation, the government said. Still, the Air Force said, the bomb contains about 400 pounds of explosives and an undisclosed amount of bomb grade uranium. The Air Force has declined to say whether it will attempt to retrieve the bomb if its location is pinpointed. The Air Force has argued that the device would pose a greater threat if disturbed. The team sent to Savannah includes experts from the Air Force, Navy, National Nuclear Security Administration and the National Laboratories.
  16. I don't have much use for that guy if it is CY I think you are referring to..reputation based on stupidity read the whole story...
  17. how many Miles Per Trip Norm??
  18. I think the FAA might not take kindly to his endangering other residents in his fly over...one can express concern here and am sure this ritual would come to a screeching halt...most small aircraft pilots have really good skills and reaction time...calculated right up to that fatal impact...
  19. that link worked..tks By the way..would you be confortable sunbathing, boating and swimming in an area where a nuclear bomb has been in the water (unfound) for 47 or so years?
  20. this site has some FAQ's that may help denote why one method is used over another... http://www.alcanspring.com/faqs.htm
  21. one person knows..that is why it is as it is...or is it..
  22. can't open your page here...is this in anyway connected withthe A-bomb that was lost there in late 50's (actually closer to Tybee Island)
  23. Increase in flow is the isue here..and more than made up for the .2 -.3 CR loss...also be it know that this is an attemp to mimick the later production flathead ford engines out of france...and france is always with a little "f" by the way. These french block were cast in the later years by who..anyone...Bueller...yes good ole Mopar cast all the latest ford flathead 8's and they did the relieving at the factory...
  24. Don..give the man time to get over the jet lag from his trip before hitting him with all these technical questions.
  25. Actually the 54 model Powerflite was on the tree The 55 model got a lever mounted on the dash... The 56 was the first year for pushbutton used the Torqueflite..(3 sp) I know the Powerflite was available in 57 with pushbutton but am not sure if got that in 56 with the introduction of the Torqueflite
