Ive never seen a project farm video before this, (i just skipped around this one), so i have no opinion of him, i do however work in a laboratory for a materials testing manufacturer and deal alot with field service at customer sites. Every legitimate tool manufacturer already employs an array...

Several Year Bump! I have android stuff, and am not in the know on the current iphone needs, but was going to get a dongle for a friend to keep in her car for the oddball check light, and the text asking what i think it is. I remember there was a thing about needing a wifi enabled one for...

I have wood working skills?? :D I wouldnt be surprised if we had have polycarbonate sheets hanging around the building at work, maybe i'll ask around! I used to build submersible tensile testing baths for the biomedical industry and did a lot of acrylic gluing in visible areas, and that cant...

or vice versa! The Buick would probably be even better, that frame is built like a tank and they used those engines in city buses! The Edsel also has a homemade tow hitch on the back of it in the form of what is probably atleast 3/4" plate cut out with a torch and welded in. i've been having...

@BORING HOP YARD I have a compression tester, but after you posted this, i did some research and bought an OTC leak down tester. i haven't gotten around to trying it yet, but it sounds like it should give me a little better idea before deciding what to do. If it needs to be gone through, i...

Im not sure how much time i have in to this so far, the first half, went pretty quick, splitting the tubing and stuff wasnt so fun, and making everything like the mounting pads, notching the tubing, etc, just takes a long time! It was definitely good to try and get the bulk of the intake done...

Spent probably 13+hrs over the weekend working on getting the intake a little further along. Alot of that time was getting the inside all sealed up and smoothed out from all of the seams. I dont know if this was the correct method, but i found using the tig torch without filler and melt the...

A cable would be easier to route through the underside of the dash with the bracketry and the mechanism for the cowl vent and handle, but i have more confidence in a linkage/ rod with the push/ pull of 2 carburetor chokes. I found a matching knob the other day, not sure what its from but it...

It looks like someone sandblasted it at some point and painted the baseplate and linkages black, (some of them were assembled backwards or upside down). I havent opened it up, probably needs a rebuild but looks pretty clean overall, but its just a place holder to get the rest of the intake...

So this is what i've come up with so far to try and move this intake project along, First made some flange plates out of 1/2" plate, drilled and tapped 5/16-18, and used set screws as studs to keep things simple and so if i wanted to add a spacer/ riser, getting longer set screws and swapping...

A lifelong favorite show and i've been goofing off my way through life and probably dont take things as seriously as i should? But also, my old name on the now dead C10forum was Muttley, after wacky races, but i think there was already a Muttley on either here of the HAMB, sand i thought stooge...

Hah, yes my name is Dan. Since the forum update, i can just upload directly instead of using flickr, who would put my name at the bottom of the picture, so its not plastered all over my posts anymore. Thanks guys! My little arbitrary rule or theme is to sort of keep what would have been...

Having the hand throttle as a choke has been the plan, but when i found the pieces for it that i didnt know i had, i started thinking about using it, or atleast having it work. I know its not a stock car, but i'd like to have some of the stock things working. There is an extra hole directly...

thanks guys! not many new shiny parts on this car, so it was a nice treat! Im putting together a McMaster Carr order, and i think the linkage plan now is 10-32 rod, ( im getting a few sections of them for all of the linkages) with a heim joint from the stock pedal trunion bracket to the front...

Cracked open the piggy bank and bought something new and shiny for a change! I just bought one of them to finish the intake, ill get the second one when im closer to starting it but at $550 with a couple of the linkage clips, i might grab a cheap core 97 in the interim to get the linkages set...
