  1. Are the brackets sand blasted or in primer which ever they look goot
  2. If Dennis does not have the speaker brackets I got mine from Leo Konick
  3. I have the Holley Sniper on my 350 small block and love it once we got it dialed in after some fouling of the O2 sensor from bad valve seals, new aluminum heads are going to help. Compression should be in the neighbor of 9.3 to 1 so 87 pump gas should be fine according to the local engine gurus. The ProMaxx heads are a 72cc chamber with a 185 runner old stock heads were 76cc and 180 runner. This should give a very nice cruiser setup
  4. I must be a gluten for punishment I finished up my 3rd cut a week ago and it needs it again. My rain gauge is only showing about .7" of liquid snow and I have not emptied it in the last week. Maybe tomorrow afternoon I can fire up the trusty Kubota and get my fourth in. Meanwhile I have gotten the headers bolted up but ran into a snag putting the ac bracket over the headers. I took it off OK but one of the brackets must have shrunk because I cannot get the front bolt into the head it is setting about an 1/8" low ??? do not know why because it came off very easily unless the head is taller but everything else has lined up perfectly. Oh well I needed a break anyhow.
  5. I can testify to that in the last 6 weeks
  6. I got a aftermarket dash from the parts place and the wood grain holes that go into the dash pad did not matchup with the holes in the dash
  7. my 70 came with Uniroyal G70 15's. At that time Uniroyal was not noted for having very good tires but between me and my buddy who bought the car off of me we 45,000 miles out of em
  8. Back to Aaron's wheels. I personally like them better than the Rally's

    Heads

    It is coming together slowly but surely. All of the holes for the temp gauges and headers are a different size so many trips to the hardware store is slowing me as i get frustrated and then discouraged so keep taking breaks lol.

    oil leak

    That is what I first thought of Bruce but after pulling the balancer off there is no groove. On the axle I had to do the same on one of my cars several years ago

    oil leak

    I had not thought of that Thanks Joe

    oil leak

    Is it normal for oil to run out the end of the crankshaft when I remove the harmonic balancer bolt. I've had an oil leak on the front of my 350 so while I am working on replacing the heads thought I would do some clean up and when I took out the balancer bolt oil poured out of the hole
  16. I think NAPA's part number for their Gold Filter is 1060 and NAPA gold filter are/were made by Wix
  17. My 55/245 /17” the recommended psi was 34
  18. I just switched over to NGK UR4 from R45TS AC Delco's the NGK seem to run better for my application 350 bored 20 over roller cam and rockers. The NGK give me a more clearance on my headers also as they are shorter about the tip where the wire snaps on. I was fouling the AC in about 300 miles and got over 600 before the NGK's fouled. Hopefully that problem is now fixed as I replaced my heads but have not got it totally reassembled.
  19. looks like a very poor prep job to me. The front looks pretty decent

    Heads

    Just got my headers back from the ceramic coater and Me thinks they look fantastic the intake should be ready by Friday and will look similar to the headers
  21. Boy glad to hear that but I did not know we could get more than 24 hours is a day 😝 😆 😂
  22. Oh I know the date one week after my birthday which I do NOT celebrate and do not publish either date for our birthdays that are 3 1/2 weeks apart at her request
  23. when removing the oil pan I do the same process but after raising the engine I put a block between the block and the motor mount on each side
  24. Got you beat on that one Aaron we will have our 52nd anniversary sometime in May
  25. i was told by a local mechanic never use the harmonic balancer to lift the engine as that can damage the balancer. I have always used a big block of wood under the oil pan with a floor jack. I have never had a problem but did crack my distributor cap once, now I remove the cap from the distributor before raising the motor
