    Crazy Air Compressor Idea

    I rebuilt two 1957 Ingersoll Rand compressors, for a combined cfm of 40. One was 17 the other a 23. I ran a hose from one to the other with a check valve in it. It ran my blaster with a 3/16 nozzle good enough but another 10 or 20 cfm’s would have been best. There’s a company in Cal. that...

    Crazy Air Compressor Idea

    That might have been a Smith. I used to have one, it worked really good but I couldn’t find a carb for it so I scrapped it. Now I wish I had it, as it really was reliable. Had a Ford 289 I think. I might just see if I can find one on EBay. I thought it was too complicated to fix it if...

    Need a inline fuel pump for Carbed 350, what brand/ part?

    Ricko, I did follow Grit dog’s advice from # 7 and 8. # 5 was my post. Sorry I misunderstood your post # 11, which #14 clarified, but I decided not to check the amount of wear on the lobe because (a) That plate was glued down too good and (b) it was too darn cold. And I didn’t need to use...

    Need a inline fuel pump for Carbed 350, what brand/ part?

    Rusty Nail read my posts. I said I heated a brand new pump. It had no fuel in it. Your other false assumption was that heat caused the leak. If you had read my post you would know the leak was around the threaded line going to the carb. I only heated the other two ports. Don’t make...

    Need a inline fuel pump for Carbed 350, what brand/ part?

    For the record: putting the timing mark on the balancer up can put the cam in either of two positions since the cam only makes one revolution to every two the crank makes. So if the mark is up and the pump isn’t close in, turning the crank one more revolution will put the cam where you want it...

    Need a inline fuel pump for Carbed 350, what brand/ part?

    Hey Rusty Nail, you’ve been putting out BS on this. I tried your “ force it” method long before you suggested it because it has sometimes worked on other motors. However the fact is that when the cam lobe is high on the lever the bolts don’t even reach the holes. If you used longer bolts...

    31 gallon tank conversion pictures

    Nice. My 79 had no spare tire hanger. Would have grabbed the Z struts the tank on the 75 burb had hung from if I would have put it there. Might later. Where did you put the spare?

    Do you know about that bolt in the block that’s 1” long? If you take it out you can put one of the pump bolts in that hole and finger tighten it to the pushrod. I tried the pushrod but it wasnt stiff enough. Maybe because the oil is so thick at 0 degrees.

    Need a inline fuel pump for Carbed 350, what brand/ part?

    Thanks for the great tips. I have installed it three times now. First one I took off and exchanged for one with a return port. That one had the ports pointing towards the chassis rail making it impossible to connect the hoses, (3/8” not so flexible). So took it off, and turned them about 30...

    Need a inline fuel pump for Carbed 350, what brand/ part?

    Just opened the picture. Thanks again but I’m looking for an electric. Altho I’d consider trying to install my mechanical one more time if it could be done easier. I’ve done it 3 times but haven’t been able to get the cam on tdc yet. I see the mark on the harmonic balancer but no indicator...
