My name is Mikey on the M&M Forum, I go by mickey-d on this Forum, and a few others. I would like you to take the time to go to our Forum, and read the posts in the topic area "Let's make a dream come true". It is a story about a nice young man, just recently turned 17, who has been fighting...

Not too sure about running stagger in the front. 2 to 3" in the rear sounds good, but front stagger will sorta take away from the rear on asphalt. A fatter R/front with no more than a 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch stagger would work better, in my opinion. But, I'm an old "dirt track" racer, and I ran...

Let's help make Brett's dream a reality!!! Postby mrs.m&m » Mon Jun 06, 2011 9:49 am We were contacted on Saturday by Mr. Rafael Ballestero. He has a son, Brett, who is 15, almost 16. Brett has leukemia and has been dealing with this for a year and a half. They have contacted the Make A Wish...

M&M Speed and Custom was contacted by a young mans father to see if we could help out making a dream come true. Brett is 15 and loves El Camino's. His family pooled their money and purchased a 1980 that had been in storage for 12 to 15 years. They would like Brett to be able to do some...

I raced some "street stocks" when I started fooling around and built one for a friend and customer of mine. I'm originally from upstate N.Y. Most of the tracks ran under the "Dirt" banner, which was a Sanctioning Body that also had tracks in P.A. and N.J. So you had a "Dirt" rulebook, and...

After looking at the pics of my garage, I have decided it need some serious cleaning and repositioning of several items. Too much clutter. More pics when it's cleaned up, and no car inside. .........mickey-d :(

I have my side, and the wife has hers. Mine is full of my race car until I move it out of the garage, but there's room to work on it inside too. It's a little cluttered, but I've seen worse! ..................mickey-d :lol:

It looks like an old "single feed", vacuum secondary model, maybe a 600cfm. It's not really a good carb. JMO. ...............mickey-d :(

Replace it. Why take a chance? You can get a factory equivalent replacement Dampener at Auto Zone, Advance Auto, NAPA, any good parts house. Call and get a price, or go on-line. Oh, and all your "stroker" motors are internally balanced unless you ask for an externally balanced crank, which is...

Brad, I would say the money factor of an engine build would be the biggest factor, But then again, I'm a Chevy engine guy. ....................mickey-d :lol:

81, that carport is nice. Eventually you can even partially or completely close it in. Hopefully, you have it firmly hooked to the ground. Even though they are pretty heavy, I've seen them take off in a strong wind. Good luck with all your projects, nice cars...

Thank you very much. The Willy's and a true 55 Chevy Gasser are my favorites. Almost forgot, I love a Willy's pick-up. mickey-d :lol:

Since I don't live on a farm, or have access to the "fixins"to make the fuel, I just go to the pump and buy it. I just converted my drag car to run on E85, and I've convinced a few friends to do it too. It burns cooler and cleaner, my engine runs 20 degrees cooler, and it's 1/4 the price of good...

I believe that's what they call "sh*t Happens" :o , and it happens to all of us. Glad you figured it out, and congrats for being honest about it. :oops: A lot of guys would have lied their asses off and said any number of things, but you told the truth. :shock: Good job...

If you like to recline, you can mount the seats on any angle you want. Just a matter of spacing up the front of the seats. Also, the Kirkey seat covers are cloth and come in different colors. Think about this, with the money you save buying the Kirkey seats, you could afford to have "custom...

Check out Jegs, or Summitt, they generally have "Kirkey" racing seats(aluminum) with a seat cover, for less than $200.00. Usually around $125. to $165.00. ..............mickey-d :lol:

It's just another "reality show" with no reality. It's all staged, and we all know that it's staged. You can't do what they claim to do, and make it work and be dependable in the amount of time given. They are trying to match the show with Chip Foose, and he gives his guys 5 days I think. But...

I would write down everything, and I do mean everything, that you want to do to the engine, from oil pan to the carb, including exhaust system. Then, price out the parts for both "brands", and compare. Also, if you go with the 454, make sure that you have the crank "zero balanced", then you can...

If you set your timing "a few months ago", and you just swapped out a distributor, what makes you think that the timing is going to stay the same?? I'm good, but I aint that good, and I've been doing this for, oh, about 45 years. You also might want to make sure you are on the #1 plug wire...
