Re: SoCal checkin' in
I was at Pomona yesterday and stopped to talk to the guys from Classic Industries. I asked if they were going to have an open house this year. They said they were talking about inviting individual car clubs for an event at their shop. I said "C/10 club, C/10 club"! The guy I was talking to is the sales manager Brian, he may come to the So. Cal. Part of the board to check interest.

Re : V-8 Oiling Woes
O.K. ;
It's been a while since I did and SBC works but I remember there was a plastic clip connecting the oil pump to the distributor drive that often failed , allowing the oil pump to stop wile the dist. kept turning so unless you noticed the light/gauge , you simply drove the engine to death . Also , used engines often have sludge clogged oil pickup screens , this is why I always flip 'em and yank the oil pan for cleaning and a looksee , then re seal the nearly always leaking rear main and timing cover seals . Bummer you lo$t out but , there's plenty of good ones out there , keep working at it . Luckily , The Chevrolet Division knew they were building the Common Man's cars so they designed the SBC V-8's & L6's to be simple and robust , easy to fix even if you're unskilled and only have minimal tools ~ remember those basic facts and you'll never go wrong with a Chevy . part of why for many years it's been the most popular car in the world :chevy: . FWIW ; 283's are not slow / underpowered when it proper tune ! maybe not tire shredding burnout beasts but what use is a truck you don't want to or cannot afford to drive daily ? . Hell , I even like the original 265 CID V-8 but then , I tend to work my stuff really hard and don't accept less than 150,000 miles as normal service life so to me , build it right (low compression , balance everything) then you can hammer it like a red haired step child while the other guys are fixing theirs yet again . -Nate Quote:

I still have my 283 sitting up I only changed it because it started running bad and from what I was told it was the cam. Changed that, but broke a stud on the heads. Instead of changing the stud, got a price on rebuilding the heads, 450 was too high so I found an enging cheaper. My problem was lose head bolts after all that. It was in my truck for over 12 years without a hitch. Just depends on what you want. |
Re: SoCal checkin' in
Older V-8's should always have some value for the restorer crowd .
Of for cheapskates like , um , you prolly know a tightwad or three =8-) . |

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Well I gotta save up money first to get a new title and plates. Then once I get insurance on it I can drive it over to get new tires for the steelies you sold me :). Still have those old tires on them from when I bought them from you. Also need to get a muffler on it cause it only has like 4feet of straight pipe haha. Surprisinly it is not loud at all on my inline 250. But I want it done right. After that Just see what else needs to be replaced. Keeping it simple and not trying to be fancy. JUST SAFE and Reliable.

FWIW ;
Chevy InLine 6 Bangers are very softly cammed so you needn't run any mufler , just a long straight pipe to the rear bumper is all you'll ever need . |

Re: SoCal checkin' in
I remember going to Westec to look at a Fadal for the aircraft company I useto work for. We bought a 3 axis back in 1998 and used MasterCam. I made a few parts with it. Im sure its much easier to use now.
|
Re: SoCal checkin' in
I know fadal, fanuc and haas controls but ive been running siemens 840d controls for the last 8 1/2 years i feel like ive forgotten the rest. Although i am very proficient with the 5 axis mill ive been using.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Need to get back on the other controls to brush up on them. Although im old school and prefer tk use a bridgport or conventional lathe when possible. but cnc can be fun for sure
