Hi guys,
Best wishes for the new year.
I have a question about my starter motor.
It al of a sudden makes really awful grinding noises.
So i took the starter off and found this....
I did install the fuse box in the recommended location in my '57.
Not really difficult, just more expensive. I've had shipping quotes for over 500 usd for the pair.
We also have to pay extra taxes (+26%) over the combined value so it adds up quickly.
Yes, I have contacted Tom's and Dutchman. Tom's isn't good for international shipping, shipping alone costs more than the axle pair. Dutchman doesn't give me a quotation.
I did find doctor diff on ...
I'll pass on Moser. They offered axles with the wrong bearing even though I specified RW307R bearings.
I did find a local company that could metal spray the axle to build up the bearing surface....
Dragsix,
These axles were bought used and the previous owner upgraded to a ford 9 inch. I've already removed the bearing and found rust, that could indicate the press fit wasn't enough anymore. The...
I did find the ring, it was at middle part. But i'm reluctant to reuse the axels.
I've sent an Email to Moser with the measurements i could take.
DoctorDiff also has a complete set available....
Today i pulled the axle out and the crimp ring is missing.
I'll pull the center section out and see if its there.

Thanks, Are these special order? Moser doesn't list them on the website.
Hi guys,
I would like to get a pair of new stock style 57 replacement axles for my car.
What vendors make good ones?
I'm not drag racing and the engine is a street friendly sbc 355.
Friday...
You might also want to ad the DOT 5.1 brake fluid. This is compatible with the old DOT 3 & 4.
The 5.1 has a higher boiling point and a lower viscosity.
I do like to use the silicone, just...
Currently I have the 2 inch rams horn manifolds installed.
The suggested 3/4 length headers look nice, but the Trickflow cylinder heads are angle plug.
That does complicate it a bit. ☺️
Diy would...
Hi Guys,
for my car id like a good set of headers that are street oriented and don't cost much ground clearance.
The frame horns are still in use so 4-1 long tube headers would hang really low....
ok, I did set the timing with the vacuum plugged, only the two mentioned are with vac advance.
The fuel used is RON 98, should be close to us 93 octane. The compression is 9.33:1 with this cam it...
Hi Guys,
I have a question about the current timing curve for my engine.
It a 57 283 with a mild cam and aluminum heads and ramshorn exhaust manifolds.

You could take a magnet and touch the block. A magnet will not stick to aluminum. It will stick to cast iron.
Thanks, but didn't the Z28 have 5/16 lines (1/2-20 inverted flare) to the carburetor? Mine has 5/8-18 for 3/8 lines.

It does take effort to make it this way :(
Are there also shorter Holley 4150 fuel lines that look a bit stock?
I don't...
Yes this is dusk pearl, with a slight modification. The mix i found was a bit grey, now it pops a bit more.

Well i had the car running and driving last year, but the engine decided to want some attention to :(
