    Wth is going on with this crap?

    First of all you sound like a damn east Texas redneck. Music to my ears, understand ya just fine. Do you have one of those fire checker things, plugs in between the wire and plug? Go get one, there cheap and very handy. Way I see it, in the video, could be fire or fuel (helpful ain't I)

    Yup. Looks about right. Bein how I'm pretty well self taught in near everything I do, have always said "everything I ever done, I done for the first the first time I done it" This is my first race car, and sure wishing for some experience.

    Grounds, clean the grounds, all of them. With things turning off and coming back sounds like a dirty ground.

    Educate me on a 12 bolt in a 78 K 10?

    Should have updated myself. Had looked at and read several articles and interweb stuff before I asked. Took a break later on yesterday and found there are 2 12 bolts car and truck, and like you said continued to put them in trucks till the 80's. According to what I "learned" they both car and...

    Again, working on the race car build. Out in my parts pile there are 2 12 bolt rear ends. Both under 78's, one K 10 other a Blazer. My research so far says they quit building them in 72? Is there different 12 bolts? Are they danas? If so which Dana? Where does one find gear sets? Any and all...

    Can you make a 305 stroker with 350 crank and rods?

    When you say journal size, is that ID or OD?

    Can you make a 305 stroker with 350 crank and rods?

    Be sure you use the rod and journal bearing from the block your taking the crank from.

    Can you make a 305 stroker with 350 crank and rods?

    Going on memory of things I've read, so a great possibility I'm dead wrong. A 350 crank in a 305 bored block would be a 305. Bore size is the differance. 327 has the same bore as a 350, but shorter stroke. All the blocks are pretty much the same, small blocks, cranks, stroke and bore diameter is...

    Got all 4 wheels, not all 4 center caps. What you need to know? Width? There wide. Keep your eyes out for a couple 465 passenger side pto's or a saganaw 3 speed and they are yours.

    Donkey. Dirt track race car build.

    You are correct, little to tight, but it's what I have, so.... It's a 3 inch radius with 1 1/2 OD ,120 wall DOM. The bender uses Hossfeld dies, but can only bend the 3 inch radius. Of course as soon as I bent those tubes I found a manual Hossfeld bender with a slew of dies for the cheap, hope to...
