Guys swear those friction shocks feel like gas shocks, and replacing some discs now and then isn’t a bad deal.Hurco550 said:Ive always enjoyed the look of mechanical friction shocks on that style of hot rod. Granted they wont perform like hydraulic units and there will be no difference in compression vs rebound damping, but they look neat. Simple to build too, flat plate with friction material sandwiched between and a spring and bolt to vary damping. I think early stuff used leather between the plates.

Yeah, he just didn't bother taking it off. It's 3/4 full and has no top to it. I'll be taking it off this weekend.cxman said:is that whats left or a purge canister ?why
I may go with an Edelbrock air gap, but I doubt I'll ever run a tunnel ram. That's a lot of money. At least the air gap intakes are good from idle to 6k.Hurco550 said:scoop looks good, but needs to be about a foot higher in the air. atop a tunnel ram would do swimmingly

Oh yeah, these zoomies are gonna go. It won't run as well either. Plan is to go with sprint headers and (hopefully) vintage Thrush side pipes.teazer said:It really does need a huge ass blower on top to raise that scoop up to where it needs to be.
I can't imagine how loud that thing must be when it runs with those stacks. Might need side pipes and headers with dump valves for the street.
