    Carburator screws

    I leave them in. Almost Never a reason to remove them on normal RB. On most carbs playing with fire taking them out . High risk of damaging things that only need to be cleaned.

    Filling a small hole without welding

    I Would try it on that. What I always did were round holes drilled in good steel but I bet it works ok and can fill the pits like the body guys do the dents. I'd be watching youtube quite a bit before tying long areas on the surface though. Can Try brazing if you have oxy acetylene and can do...

    Filling a small hole without welding

    This is the ONLY way I've ever filled holes up to at least 1/4" or maybe even 5/16"- rat tail file the hole to clean metal- heat around it with propane torch (acety will work if careful)- quick circles around the OD of the hole- solder onto the steel- depending how well you get at it it will...

    Have skyjackers on 2 40s from years ago. not overly flexible especially on the v8 no top 40- very hard.. I'd read up on leaf springs many better options now.

    2F Motor Damage?

    Have to make plugs- using Expansion plugs- bolts hose clamped into heater hoses etc if it's complete. if you plug it well you can put lots more than 20# in it. since theres no radiator to blow- I've put a lot in years ago right off an air compressor - you just listen for leaks. If you hear any...

    2F Motor Damage?

    Compression test checks the combustion chamber. When blocks/heads/manifolds freeze with water in them they can crack the block, head castings in strange spots where they buckle out slightly and crack. a radiator- type pressure testing will show leaks out of the water jacket. Don't hear of it too...

    Widening Stock 40 Series Wheels

    I watched an old guy I worked with do it 30+ years ago. Cut apart 8 wheels with a torch saving centers and rims. Trued then welded them up with a stick welder . Turned out nice. Do it yourself then it's a learning experience.
