Bat,
I think the problem with the video may be that your "settings" on FB probably limits viewing to your "friends". The common riff-raff is blocked from seeing your pictures and videos.

Bugger!
That's what I got.
I think Roger may be right.

I just tried and came right up---its a listing for AutoZone 10ft universal speedo cable kit with ends for $3.99----------

Bat - I tried the link as you posted the 2nd time and it works fine for me...

I'm planning building home made log intake for my "Y" for 4 carbs{94s] ,just to sex up my "Y",I've given up on finding a 2x4 set up like I had wayback,there gold now near as I can tell,beside it's going to be fun fabing up a log intake,I have the 94's anyway.
Haven't done one in 20+ years,so get the cobwebs out. I always liked the look of lots of carbs,as long as they ran good= I had a buddy with 6x2 that must of been a little too much for his "Y",we never did get that set up to be smooth at idel.

Wow that will give the Y Block some awesome wow factor. I like the way you have it looking now but four 94's on a log will certainly be cool Dana.

doesn't the one by the distributor get kind a close or was that just on the 6 x 2s IIRC?

Yes Jerry,the right bank has to be built with out log over hang, but carb can still be above ports,vs 6x2 its better if end carbs are outside of ports so some flow is pulled better from center carb as well. My plan is to put in a devider at ports vs most logs just use a open tube as a feed to log from the head. I'm looking for a tube to make my log out of less then 3in. ,maybe 2.5in.=idea is too cut back on pluntum size a little making better low end then big size{ I don't need super top end for racing. I found a interesting link on building log intakes;

I wanted to do one with ram tubes crossing over to oppsite head but wouldn't fit inder the hood of my 59 ford

This weeks fun is adding some sound/radio to my hotrod,more later

My son got me a hideaway radio/SD card player,an speakers 4 my B-Day. Cool,I did not really want a radio to show in the dash.
Plan is to put the 50cent size remoto control on the side of steering colume=only thing that can be seen. SD card with about 200 1950/60 tunes should help nicely. Set the mood when driving,back in time when I could actuly get my fav. tunes on WQAM or WFUN Miami,all the local oldy stations here think 80 ,90 is oldys.

Jump around ,cuz I run out of parts,then work on what I do have peices for. This week was my extra V8 Y-block that at some point I'm making in to a fresh new engine for my hotrod,old one is,well old. Too many speedpumps now days every were. Here's a homemade skid plate I made an added to oilpan.

Nice work. I added a skid plate to the oil pan on my Vette after I saw some unwanted goudges in it.

The SD card sounds are working,find myself turning them on as I do clean-up n detailing,seems to go better with a good old beat.
Hunted around my scrap crap an found leftover parts of two old drive shafts I made shorter some time back. One looks justright size @ 2.5in. ID for my log 4x2 intake and the other slitely smaller part should work good for carb plate to log spacer after some shaping in the vice. Photos when I get to it! But here's my plans,maybe a "F" in drafting,but idea should work.
