Does anybody know what year Chevy started using hydraulic lifters in their pick-up 235 sixes? Thought I'd try experts on list before taking off my side ...
I don't think Chevrolet put hydraulic lifters in Trucks until they came out with the 230 engine in 62 or 63 the cars had them in 53 or 54 but not trucks my 62...
I read somewhere to check to see what type of lifters you had before doing a valve adjustment. Can't remember where. Big difference in procedure. Might ...
58 had them in everything. I've heard you can run a mechanical lifter but I'd rather have a mechanical cam. Mechanical lifters I can adjust but I can't seem...
Roy ; Maybe the firewall mat is used in lieu of the sponge rubber distance gasket I was talking about ? . I'm still not quite sure what your concern is , yes ,...
Susan ; Yes it was originally 6 lugs but unless you're looking for a concourse restoration , leave it be as the 5 lug setup was prolly changed by swapping the...
Thanks, Nate. Based on a pic that Allen sent me of his pre-restored truck, I have it installed as it originally was. Just seems a little cruder than I would...
I'm about to put a simple cutoff valve of my heater hose to restrict the hot water coming to the heater during these hot Texas days. Does it matter which...
Ken, Carter's has a neat original style valve for just this purpose. It replaces the lower hose nipple...the one on the waterpump. If you choose to use an...
Maybe with the Hydramatic Trans. I have a 59 261 with solids. Nick K. 51 261 3100 74 454 Vette Oak Island NC ... From: "James Tye" <jimandtess@...> ...
I believe the original intent was to run by-pass water thru the heater core. Good for the engine, good for getting heat to the cab ASAP. When the engine got...
Roy: I'd be interested in this also. I have used a cable controlled valve from an older Ford Bronco (mid 70's?) spliced into the heater hose in the past. I...
Carters Part Number is ME364. Describes it for a recirc heater only but will fit the threads no matter what heater you have. It is manual and you will have...
Al, the Ford one is a good deal. You can hook up a cable to dash even if you wish, just like it was in Ford truck. That way, you can control When and How Much...
Nick's got it. Its on page 110. Costs 19.80 as Nick said part no. ME364. I turn it on in the fall and off in the spring. works good. Roy ... From: "Alan Lubow"...
No _but_ you will have heat soaking and resultant heat in the heater core if you put the hot water valve up by the firewall ~ the best place for it is on the...
OBTW : NAPA makes a nifty inline cable operated hot water valve , they stopped coming in metal last year but they're very nice and allow fingertip heat...
Don't do it ! the oiling system of the 235 isn't up to the job ~ several changes were made to the block and etc. to try and make this work but all 235's with...
Two other things to consider. Oil supply to the rocker arms changed from year to year depending on tappet design and head design. Make sure you have the...
On the subject of top oiling on 235's, I worked for an old mechanic (in the 70's) who used to grind a groove the entire length of the center RH headbolt when...
Guys: Anyone know of a bolt-on (not weld-on) IFS that will fit a 57 Chevy 3100 1/2 ton? Any leads appreciated. I'm also considering an IFS from a wrecked 83...
Okay: Lets see if I can sum this all up. - You have neither a Heater nor do you need hot water to your intake manifold. Simple: 3/8" NPT pipe plug on the...
The only vette "kit" installation that is really nice is not a bolt on. Flat Out Engineering has a beautiful set-up for both front and rear suspension. I...

Probably the easiest is the '61 thru '64 Corvair van or pickup. it was a bolt on from the factory. All you have to do is spread it 3" and notch a couple places...
