Rodder's Roundtable / Proportioning Valve
October 21, 2023, 08:35:12 AM
Working on brakes on my 50 F1.
It has GM front disc brakes. 72 Monte Carlo
Ford drum brakes rear 9" rear. Narrowed rear. Large tires and wheels (wide)
Is there any reason I should put a adjustable proportioning valve on this set up or will a non-adjustable one work?
Thanks Mike

I am using a clutch fan. Can a spacer be used to get the fan closer to the radiator or will the weight of the clutch, fan and spacer put to much strain on the water pump?
Thanks Mike

I am working on a 1950 F1.
If I have a full fan shroud can the fan blades be 4" to 5" away from the from the radiator or does it need to be closer.
Thanks Mike

I have to tell you what I did, it's been over a year.
I put a mechanical fan on, built a full shroud and put some openings in the side panels. This all helped a lot. The motor is staying cooler an and I am sure the oil is cooler also so I have more oil pressure. All is good. Thanks for your help.

Helped a friend put a power disc brake kit on his 72 chevelle. Had the same problem as you. Had to adjust the small adjusting screw in between the master and the booster. Works great. It wasn't allowing the master to make a full stroke to grab brake fluid.

Rodder's Roundtable / Oil Pressure Question
May 23, 2022, 05:44:00 PM
I have owned the motor for years. I bought a car with it in it. Took it out and built a new motor for the car.

Mid 70's 350 Chevy. Nothing special, probably all stock. I have never had heads or pan off.

10/40 oil

Cold start oil pressure is 50lbs

When the motor gets to 185/190 degrees oil pressure is 5lbs

Motor sounds good. No knocks or clatters or smoke.

oil pressure is from a new gauge set, electric.

What do you think?

Would a new oil pump help?

Maybe oil pick/up came off the pump

Any info would be great.
Thanks Mike

Rodder's Roundtable / Caster Camber Gauge
February 25, 2022, 06:16:49 AM
I just got a caster camber gauge and a pair of Snap-On turntables for front end alignment from a friend.

The caster camber gauge is a Ammco 2550. It looks real simple to use. It has about 7 lines of instructions printed on the gauge itself. The writing is right where it was grabbed most of the time during use and the writing is worn off.

I have looked all over the net for info on this gauge with no luck. I found one picture of one on ebay but the writing was worn off in the same place.

Does anyone have any info on this gauge?

Thanks for any Info
Mike
