Roger, with those GM metrics on the front and the big drum brakes on the back, you'll be able to stop on a dime and get a nickel change - even without power brakes.

Roger, check on Moroso carb wedge blocks. The open plenum may be a problem, but maybe this could get you within one degree if it's possible to mount it backwards.

Roger, until I read your post, I never thought of checking the manifold angle. With all the changes I made in tires and stance - I wondered I if I was off. I put the protractor on it, and it read...

Roger, do me a favor. When you discuss the difference between 'flashing' and 'pulsing' with a KHP trooper, record it. I'd love to hear that conversation :D :D

Just watching your back, Roger. Just watching your back.

My experience with the Nankings is pretty good. On the other hand, I gave away my Coker F560's with less than 2 miles on them. They wouldn't balance for crap. Plus, I got another inch of drop on...

What size rims and tires did you use, Roger? I'm sure you mentioned it, but I'm too lazy to read the whole thread again. :)

It's the Autostrada del Sole (Highway of the Sun). It goes from Naples to Milan. I drove a part of it everyday to work at Naples International Airport. They're enforcing the speed limit (130...

Those smart cars are all over Italy, dodging in and out of traffic like they were bullet proof - but then, they do that on motor scooters there also.

In the final analysis, my '34 is not as safe as a 2015 Escalade, but it's a degree of magnitude safer than a motorcycle . . . and I'm good with that.

Roger, a 26" tall tire will only get you an inch. That extra inch on the top of the tire doesn't help much. :)
(Diameter vs Radius)

They look just right, Roger. No charge for the legal advice, BTW. ;)

Roger,

Are your headlights at least 24" from ground to center? That's another of the arcane Kansas statutes.

Just trying to save you from some "fun" at the inspection station.

They don't . . .

Good lord! We had a similar discussion a long time back and had folks adamant that it was unsafe to pick up an engine with a carburetor plate, 1/4" bolts and a cast aluminum intake. We need to be...

A bit o' LocTite, maybe?

Make sure you use a fan with an induction (brushless) motor. Aerosolized paint can cause a dust explosion, and motors with brushes produce a lot of sparks.

3.55's behind a 700R4 have more "kick" than my'68 GTO with M20 Muncie and 4:11's in back. Good choice, Roger.

Roger, bear in mind that the 700R4 has a 3.06 first gear. Put that in front of 3.89's, and you have the first gear equivalent of an M21 Muncie in front of a 5.41 differential. I have 3.70's in my...

Great find Roger! That motor is very similar to the Fast Burn 385 I have in my '34, although the heads are a little different from the Fast Burn heads, and have a half-point higher compression. I...
