Todd the pictures you posted are very helpful for understanding how the wells mate up inner to outer. Hope they are not tack welded as it will be harder to separate them. I am hoping they are just...
Wondering if anyone has done a removal on a wheel well for 1951 Special? I am planning to do some patching on the quarters around the wheel well opening and need to hammer and dolly the welds so...
I should be more specific. This never happens on initial cold start up. Only after a full warm-up at operating temp. 1951 hydraulic lifter 263 with Stromberg carb and a manual 3 speed. 40K mile...
This is a bit off topic but is fuel related. does anyone experience stumbling of their straight eight after parking, turning off, then restarting, and pulling away. Mine will stumble for the first...
77667767 Here is what I used on my 51 special. Some of the colors available that are suppose to be a direct match I have read are a bit too green or turquoise. I took my old valve cover and tried...
I'd be interested in a couple. Hope your still making them. Very cool! Unique!

I know this is an old thread and it might be too late to offer any help but I have been working on a front disc brake conversion on my 51 special. It has been quite a project and I am...

I have about 10 pics of ac mods for straight 8's both engine and dash that I have been saving and would love to share them but cannot seem to upload them. Says I do not have permission even when...
49flamer....thank you for taking the time to detail what you did on your ride. I have read that there is a difference between the vh44 made in China/Hong Kong compared to those from Australia. I have...
49flamer... Show us pictures please! Would love to know the model of the vh44 you used. I have a 51 special that I would love to have stop without pulling up on the steering wheel!
I know this is an old thread but just wanted to say thanks for posting this. I spent hours tracing an electrical problem that did not exist! Used a 535 Napa made in Taiwan flasher. In fact two of...
Oh yeah we need pictures! Would love to see what you did to your 263. I have one stock in my 51' now and another that is waiting "hopped up" treatment someday. Dual carbs and headers in the near...

I have a photo I took of a 41 setup linkage and exhaust "Y" pipe but cannot seem to upload it to show you all. It keeps telling me teambuick says the upload failed. I would love to share it to see...
Is it safe to say that using a set of custom headers would do the same as using the stock dual manifolds? When it was said that you have to use the dual exhaust system I took it as meaning the dual...
Realize I am late to this thread but I too got my hands on a dual intake manifold......why/what problems without the exhaust manifiolds?
I have a 51 special with a Stromberg AAUVB-267 on it and am having trouble with intermittent surging while cruising at constant speed. The engine/carb seems to like being under load on acceleration...
