Chebbyin

I've owned several '50s cars; a '51 Chevy with a Powerglide and a '59 Cadillac. The Powerglide is nowhere near as smooth, but it is a LOT of fun when you get some power in front of it; shifting feels like it got its ass kicked and the whine is music to my ears, but I'd never daily drive one again.

No idea. I attribute it to Chrysler overengineering; though mine doesn't have it, you could get an optional rear AC system for passengers in the back seats.

Chrysler had the best options and was the best value back then; oh, how they've fallen.

Second is the 1970 'Cuda 440

This is the play around car. All get driven, but the other two are stock and more collectible. This one isnt, as it started life as a 318 Gran Coupe and was swapped to a 440 (along with a 9 3/4s rear) so it sees more use and general tinkering.

When I stripped the paint for some metal work, I found out it was originally white, then painted hemi orange, before it came to the final black color.

Here is the 440. Was originally topped with a 750 quad, but now has an 850. Still tinkering with it. The 440, according to my step dad, is actually bored out to 460. Like the AAR, it has a Mopar purple cam. Makes a good noise straight piped.

1968 Barracuda 340 Formula S

The Formula S was when the Barracudas were starting to get hot before the launch of the 'Cuda in 1970. This Formula S has a 340, but I believe you could have a 383 in '69.

It has the comfiest interior of the three because its also an A/C equipped car from factory. This, like the AAR, is an original and fully stock.

>>16323467
It'd be one of my favorites if it didn't have the angled headlights. I like the 1960 300F more.

The '68 is also the only manual transmission car of the three. It has a Hurst 4 speed with the funkiest shifter rod. Also, reverse gear is very hard to find so luckily it has a light above and to the left of the shifter thats lights up when you finally find it.

>>16323546

change your hoses while you're at it, and keep good antifreeze in the system.

>>16326282
I'll definitely change the hoses, didn't think about that. I use dexcool so I think that'll be alright. Not looking forward to dropping another couple hundred bucks replacing a year old radiator

>Dexcool

I won't rip on you for using it, but you do have to be slightly more careful with it.
No mixing any other color/brand of antifreeze with it
Change it every year (which you should be doing anyway)
Use distilled water to mix with the antifreeze.

>>16326378
How do you clean out that? Is the block shot if that happens?

>>16326378
Why is it marketed as extended life if you have to change it every fucking year.

Why is this shit even used.

Just drain the whole shit and go old school. No one ever had a problem with antifreeze why did they even invent new shit.

I heard it is an easy way to get into classic cars because they are so plentiful and the aftermarket is very strong (dedicated manufacturers still make brand new engines every year).

Either torch or grinder with cut off wheel. Done that a few times

>>16333417
I think it'll have to be latter, torch doesn't seem to've helped.

>>16333592
Just cut it down until it's almost cut through and then use a chisel to break it loose. Might have to make two cuts 180 out from each other.

>>16332812
Got a welder? Put a bead around the circumference of the race, then knock it off with a hammer and a drift.

Or use a puller.

Or weld it and use a puller.

74 added a bunch of emissions crap, and it also started common use of electronic ignition (non-points). After that the vacuum diagrams get more complicated.

I would go 72-75 at best. Later than that up to the 80s and fuel injection adds a shitload of queer vacuum sensors and actuators.

>>16336012 here, I also saw kit kat on here earlier, I know you've talked about listening to old country music and stuff to match the aesthetic and time period of the car, what radio did you use? Or do you just have a station where you live?

>>16336340
If you're lucky you'll have a AM station that plays music. Otherwise you can replace the radio altogether or use a hidden radio.

So the ignition cylinder shit the brick in the Lincoln today so that sucked nuts. got off work, went to the liquor store, got back in the car then bam, key wouldn't turn in the ignition.

Hopefully it doesn't get towed from the parking lot it's in. I have a new ignition cylinder, but I'm going to have to drill out the old one since I can't turn the cylinder at all to get it out the normal way

Adjust rear brakes.
I forget if you have front drums too, but adjust if need be

>>16339509
How do you adjust brakes

>>16339514
Run up the star wheel through the backing plate, then back it off a little.

>>16339519
Which way do you spin it?

>>16339514
the best way is to jack up the wheels, get 2 flat head screwdrivers, adjust the star adjust out until you can't turn the wheel anymore, then use the second screwdriver to push back the little lock tab and adjust the brakes back in until there is a little bit of rub from the shoes.
>>16339522
The adjuster only spins one way, until you use a second screwdriver to push the locking tab back

Personally I think this guy adjusted the shoes out a little too much, but it's the basic idea

>>16339532
>until there is a little bit of rub
And by that he means it's still fuckhard to turn by (one) hand but you can still do it.

>>16339580
No, I mean until the brake shoes just barely make contact and you can hear them rub when you spin the wheel.
Or were you referencing the first adjustment

Yeah here's how the ferd is sitting right now. Some day I'll get to actually working in it...

>>16339600
Nah, that's too loose ime. When they're right it's pretty hard to turn the wheel by hand. It sounds like it's way too tight but to a vehicle it's nothing at all.

Now if the drums aren't round you'll be hating life due to the pulsing. A looser adjustment calms that quite a bit.

nigger what? I'm a trained 1st year auto tech and work at an auto shop.
No school or shop or mechanic would ever have been trained or showed to do it that way

>>16339714
And I'm a former auto tech that had 10+ years in back when drum brakes were still a thing and I know that a light rubbing sound that turns easily by hand is too loose. Learned that the hard way because I started out doing it like you say and always ended up with a low pedal and also the subsequent complaints. Eventually an old brake guy told me what I was doing wrong and I went for the tighter adjustment and no more complaints.

And as you know as a tech, you definitely don't want customers coming back for simple shit. Particularly on your day off. Or if your recheck get assigned to someone else for some reason.

>>16339770
So.. basically normies are just fucking stupid.
On my personal cars I've always tightened them till there was some grab, but never tight I wouldnt want to glaze them up.

>>16339770
You're fucking stupid lmao

>>16339789
>some grab
So basically we're on the same page.

I've a sneaking suspicion that what's really going on here is a difference in subjective feel and the descriptors used for it.

>>16339770
I haven't had customers come back from brake for anything other than noise from shitty cheap pads.

I can work on drums, but fuck that. The only metric they are better at maybe is initial stopping, but that wears down after a bit.

I've taken the I beams off another truck, it wasn't that hard. I've just got to get the remaining parts.

>>16340640
>The only metric they are better at maybe is initial stopping, but that wears down after a bit.
They can apply more braking force then a disk. This is indisputable.

>>16340640
Put something on and making it work is a lot harder than taking something

>>16340649
But they don't dissipate heat nearly as well so repeated stops drastically reduced breaking ability. Also drums are worse for minute pressure differences.

>>16340667
It's a pretty well documented swap, especially considering that the frames and mounting and all parts are a direct swap. I've got faith, only hard part will really be lifting those heavy I beams up

>>16340649
>>16340833
Would you two stop your fighting please?
There is nothing wrong with drum brakes
There is nothing wrong with disc brakes.

Both have been used for over a hundred years.
Drums have the advantage of more friction area at the cost of simplicity.
Discs have the advantage of more heat dissipation and simplicity at the cost of less friction area.

Discs are good for racing
Drums are good for average low speed driving
Both work very well for average driving.

Had a little mishap with my Imperial the other day; a woman on her phone didn't see me making a turn and tried to go when I had started. Her car was totaled; transmission destroyed, front end mangled, and hood bent.

My Imperial has a small dent in the trim on the front fender; looks like a rock hit it, a groove in the paint by some that were already there, and a broken lens over the driver's side head lights.

The bumper is rusting through; the frames are prone to rusting, too, so it'll need work. If you can do it yourself, it's an interesting project, but that doesn't mean it's worth more than parts car status.

This is from a Forbes article
>Ford says just 17 percent of F-150s are sold with a $495 spray-in bed liner from the factory. Ford dealers offer a $350 drop-in liner, and after-market bed liners are also available, but numbers are hard to come by. Chevrolet says 50 percent of Silverados leave the dealership with a factory- or dealer-installed bed liner.

if you could find a set of c8ve or c9ve or d0ve you would be able to make some power, those have a decent stock flow and a smaller chamber size

And it still was not as good as the 385, which wholesale improved on the mel

Why is it better? Give me hard facts and not boomer drivel you tend to regurgitate

>>16344489
Better head flow, better rod/stroke ratio so it is more stable at higher rpm, much better aftermarket and more power potential.

Kek this happens a lot but the first time i can catch them in the act

>>16344567
That's for backing up your facts with numbers senpai. Also aftermarket support is not an argument for better engine

>>16344910
It sort-of is; I chose a '66 Imperial over a '65 because parts availability for the 440 is significantly better than that of the 413.

>>16344910
You can be a hardass on a Vietnamese rice paddy bazaar. But there's a reason you that most performance builds for ferd right now are based off the 385. It breaths, it revs and you can cram it full of stroke if you want

>>16345008
The real reason most people build 385s is they're cheaper. The blocks are cheaper and the parts are cheaper than an FE. You can pick a complete 460 for like 400 bucks. The one 400+ cube FE I saw on my craigslist was a 406 and it was 1800 for just the block and heads

>>16345603
And so what about the fe makes it better? Cammer not withstanding. It's another level and is a badass motor

>>16345603
And 390s are everywhere fair to mention. You could build a mild 390 for not much

>>16341846
What is this?

A modded to fuck ford fairlane, but it could be a galaxie I don't remember

I have a brand new bumper still in the box. If you look close you can see the bumper brackets. Doesn't look too bad without it so I'm in no hurry to put it on.

what's a good old American muscle car I can probably land in project condition for under $5000?

>>16348076
Nova, Dart, Duster, Valiant. Probably many more but this is off the top of my head.

Just browse craigslist

Hey man, how'd your carb job turn out?

>>16348443
The holley is done for so i got a 2 barrel to throw on there, right now i have to find a way to get this throttle shaft to work with the kickdown.
The holley has the right connection but the one on this 2 barrel is pressed in so i can maybe run it without a kickdown until i find a proper replacement, or a 360.

>>16348451
Yeah, you can run without a kickdown, just don't expect to do any passing on 2-lane roads lol.

What do you have now, a Carter? Is there any sort of a cable conversion available?
Or, hell, what are you missing anyhow?

>>16348466
Yeah i have a remanufactured carter BBD, meant for a jeep so that's the problem. I just need the car to be able to move around the yard and run without starting fluid assistance.
I'll probably upgrade to a cable system eventually, still out of a job but the government approved me for some autismbux (unemployment)

I don't really have a suitable picture besides this, this "rod" is missing from my carb, you can see how it's supposed to hold the kickdown lever.

The holley has it so i was going to try and take it off the holley and put it on the Carter

>>16348480
Aah. I see, I see.

If there's a hole in the proper place, you might try a 1/4" (or 5/16" i can't really tell) bolt of appropriate length, with a nut on each side of the plate with loctite on the threads.

>>16348482
it has a pressed in nub where that rod should go.
i may end up drilling it out, i don't know yet.
It won't hurt anything to run without the kickdown for now though.

>>16348492
Do you know if it's possibly to have a vacuum kickdown? I think that's what my truck has because it's not an original automatic transmission and I can't find a kick down lever but there's a vac line going to the transmission.

>>16348508
Probably not, the 4.0 this carb was meant for bolts to an A904 which is the same transmission, i thought so too because it has 20,000 vacuum ports on the carb but those jeeps all had mechanical kickdowns. It could be this carb was meant for a manual transmission.

Looks like I have a fuel tank now. My boss is fixing up a 1959 f100 and this is one of the saddle tanks off of it.

>>16348508
Every 904 I've ever seen has a lever.

>>16348526
It probably was, this has a t18 behind the 300 originally.

>>16348535
Nice. I think at some point down the road I'd consider putting an aux tank in on the other side of the bed opposite my toolbox. It couldn't be that hard, plenty of 70s fords had them as dual tanks.

>>16348565
He's just going with a fuel cell between the frame rails behind the differential. But oddly enough this tank should fit my galaxie pretty closely. Might need to plumb my own lines a bit. And figure out tank straps.

>I can't find a kick down lever but there's a vac line going to the transmission.
You might want to crawl under there and have a look. Or post a pic of your engine bay from the driver's side.
I know Ford used a vacuum modulator to control how hard and when it shifts based on manifold vacuum but they used a kickdown lever afaik.

>>16348632
Yeah I looked under, and there's the shifter linkage but as for a line from the throttle linkage to the transmission I can't find one. I'm pretty sure it just doesn't have one, and relies solely on hydraulic pressure, or maybe it's vacuum.

>>16348667
if you have no idea where it went then most likely a previous owner did the kickdown delete.

The kickdown on a c6 is on the same shaft as the shift linkage(driver side), The vacuum modulator is on the passenger side. Look close at that pic, you'll see a shaft that protrudes outside of the shift lever, that's where the kickdown should have went(I deleted it).

You don't have to run a kickdown, and they only really kick down below 45mph I think anyway, and that's only at WOT. You do however need to keep the vacuum modulator unless you run a full manual valve body. This controls the shift timing and shift hardness just like what >>16348632 said.
