"Rusty's" rear end is the wrong one! Can I make it work? #Ford #Granada #Differential #Axle
"Rusty" still needs a lot of repairs if I want her to make it to next year's "Duct Tape Drags". So I'm going to replace the one thing that is still working perfectly: the entire rear end. Why, because I like the lower gear ratio of 3.73, rather than the stock 3.08. And it's a limited slip! And more than anything, it was CHEAP! But there's a reason it was so cheap. Can I make the wrong rear end work?
Yep, I've got a Facebook Page. Nope, no better than this channel: groups/1004545590524751/?mibextid=oMANbw

A few project updates, and making the Hot X stop better! #Excelsior Henderson #mechanic #repair
Переглядів 16914 днів тому
Everything's broken. Seems I can't keep up with the repairs, let alone the projects. But I suppose it would help if I was actually home working on stuff, instead of on little vacations. And, you might ask, what is a Hot X? It's a motorcycle. A motorcycle I bought (like I really needed another one). This one belonged to a friend who passed away, and has a history with the Excelsior-Henderson com...

The Rusty Grenade gets exhausted, and clustered! (Part 6) #351 #Windsor #Swap #Foxbody #Granada
Переглядів 227Місяць тому
"Rusty" the 82 Granada 351 project rides again! To make that happen, I first have to spend more money than the car is worth to install a custom exhaust system (painful for a cheapskate like me). The I do an instrument cluster transplant from a donor Mustang, so I have gauges that won't lie to me! Was the surgery a success? Watch and see. And something about burnouts being bad for transmissions....

    Depends on what it is. Old small bock chevys minimum oil pressure is 8psi. Modern cars run a little higher, closer to 30 psi to 60 psi, depending on load. Fun fact, ford oil pressure switches were on, or off, there was no real pressure reading. 80s and 90s cars and trucks.
