    Carb for a street/strip stroked 440

    I agree....if it's going to be on the street, your carb is too big and so is the cam unless you plan on being a total street hell raiser......

    New carburetor prices are high.

    IIRC, my first pass was in the high 17's but had fun doing it. And it's been awhile for me going to a track to run something too. I outlived two Houston area 1/4 mile tracks.....it sucks.....but there's an 1/8 mile track not to far but to me, 1/8 mile sucks. When I worked days, I went to the...

    New carburetor prices are high.

    I was doing that a lot of years ago.....and used many of them. I used to play a little game of installing the next larger carb on my engines just to see if the car would run a better ET. Ended up proving the "that's too big" crowd wrong. For better MPG, yeah, they were right but at the time, MPG...

    New carburetor prices are high.

    Nearly 4 years ago a friend of mine mentioned a 'reconditioned' battery and for 60 bucks, thought I'd give it a shot. It's 3 1/2 years old now and another one is a bit over 2 years old.

    What type of jack do you guys carry in the trunk?

    This has been address in this thread. If you have different size tires front and rear and have a Suregrip/spool or whatever, your spare needs to be the same size as the rear tires. IF that spare won't fit the front, then you need to carry two spares.....one for the rear and one for the front.

    What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

    Washed the left side of the box trailer (shady side) this morning before going to the post office and having another tire fix after picking up a screw in it. If I had seen it sooner I would have unscrewed it, coated it with RTV and screwed it back in!

    "440 source" (stroker kits) for a mid 1970's 440 motor. Cylinder material removal for rod clearance.

    I've done lots of polishing on other things and can vouch on how long it takes to polish off .001" from even mild steel or something softer. It doesn't take forever but does take some time.....the softer materials are faster lol. Having a sanding belt attachment for a lathe sure helps with a...

    Update on installing my fastfish rear mail seal

    The knurl on the crank is factory for a 'rope' seal which worked pretty well. Not so well with a lip seal. It needs to be polished off for the lip seal or go back to the rope/packing seal.

    What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

    Well, she has two spares now....the original spare (still new) is now on a alloy 'snowflake' wheel that matches the others that came on the truck. The used tire spare is now on the steel wheel. Now I get to rotate the five snowflake wheels or replace a flat with it if that happens again and I'm...
