    Thermostat

    Yeah, i have the same problem with my wife and her Turbo 4-cylinder Mazda. She starts it and heads for the hills while the temp needle is still buried in the COLD indicator. Not good, especially for a turbo engine. I still haven't been able to get her to change her habit, 'cuz she is always...

    Thermostat Temp question

    I live in the San Antonio area & have Walker radiators in my hot rods with SBCs and TH350's. One has a separate trans cooler & one is run to the radiator trans lines. Both run 180 degree thermostats, although I have drilled a 1/16" hole in the thermostat plates to aid flow. I also use...

    348 in a '33 Roadster

    Well, I didn't sell the car at the Roundup this week. Lots of looker's, with the vast majority of them drawn to the car because of the engine! But no one serious in taking on a project. Unfortunately, I was working my space at the swap meet by myself and never got to go outside to see the...

    348 in a '33 Roadster

    I am taking the '33 Ford roadster project to the Lone Star Roundup in Austin, TX this week to sell it. Unfortunately, I need to sell it to pay for the other "completed" '33 Roadster that I bought last year. It is now a "roller" with lots of additional parts included to take it to the next...

    Eclipse today

    The wife and I sat out in the front yard, with a glass of wine and our glasses. Never really needed the glasses because it was too cloudy to see anything. It got darker, but never DARK. I did notice that when it got light again, my wine was gone!

    Anyone need a 10% off coupon from Summit Racing?

    Thanks, Tom. i used mine. As you had mentioned, the website didn't give the discount on my internet order; however, when I sent in an email concern with the details of the coupon, they credited me back the discount right away. Thanks, again. I now have a pair of mufflers for the "new" '33...

    I had no idea where to put this.

    "replaced battery in the wife's lawn mower"! Wow-how does that work? (I mean the wife having a lawn mower)

    Hot Rod

    I drilled a small hole (1/16") in the 180 degree thermostat in the early 350 SBC in my '33 Ford as a bypass and it works fine. I am running an electric fan that is triggered to turn on at 185 and off at 175. I am not running a heater or A/C in the roadster. Your comment about it getting hot...
