Yes! You answered your own question. I was battling the timing on my '73 pickup after I installed HEI (350 with Edelbrock products and a stock HEI installed). I pulled the HEI off a camero, slapped i

I think you make a good point here and I'd to extend it a bit. Isn't the purpose of the leak down test to test compression lost at the point where you need compression the most, i.e. near TDC? I woul

I did the same thing on my '50. The advantages include insert bearings (which is a huge advantage when overhauling the motor), a little more horsepower, more availability of parts, and I know I'm for

In summary, there really isn't an overdrive solution for a closed driveline truck. In keeping a closed driveline, you can use the stock 3 or 4 speed Muncie (which have less than friendly shift ratios

With all this talk of compressors, it's serendipitous that there's a very well-written article on this very topic in this month's This Old Truck. It's written by Bob Adler (who I believe is on this l

I also put in a drain valve where the stock plug is below the shut off valve on my '50. Makes it handy to drain out the summer blend in the spring before I start 'er back up after sitting all winter.
