87creepin Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Where do you guys purchase your wiring supplies like cables/terminals from? I’ve usually gone to Repco, but we all know how sketchy their stock/prices can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do parts supply from my trade accounts, if you know what your after i can get you prices/quote as needed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOHC Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Is the bolt pattern for the flywheel flange on a 305 Chevrolet the same as a 308 Holde? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Might depend on the motor? Some 308 had the TH bellhousing pattern, and some the trimatic. Aussies being aussies, its not inconceivable that tge cranks might have a different pattern? /idk tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bolt pattern for the crank looks the same, so you should be right. I don't believe that GM changed the bolt pattern on the 305. The flex plates are different, the offset is changed other wise the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool thank you, the bolt pattern is all that needs to match for the jetboat application Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Question for those who have played with rust removal via electrolosis. Do you thing it would work for an engine bore that was rusty A.F/seized? Fill the cylinder with washing soda enhanced water, susoend the cathode in the cylinder, and hook up tge block and cathode to a 180A arc welder. Surely that would boil the rust off the bore walls quick snap? Got a big, ugly in line 6 that sat with the plugs out for a loooong time. Havent pulled the head yet. But its seized hard enough that an attempt to tow it free blew the clutch. Worth noting its big, heavy and ugly enough that removing the engine will be an ordeal. (Let along handling it once its out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Is the head off? What about just filling the bores with coke? Sounds like it's chooched anyway so nothing to lose? Rinse and repeat till it eats away at the rust holding the piston rings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Let along handling it once its out) The go to for this type of thing has been a mix of Diesel and Auto Trans fluid. Try mixing 50/50 and fill the cylinder. Let it soak for a good long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 They also say atf and acetone works well too. I saw a video where some guy unstuc a mega seized ford v8 using hydrochloric acid. But i thought a non corrosive methos might be preferable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregT Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 i'd go with ATF and acetone. Pull the head and fill the bores to the top. Refresh as needed until either it's free or you can afford someone else to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 CRC evaporust is pretty good at making rust disappear. Non corrosive too. May need multiple applications, let soak for a few days, waterblast, blow it out with air, repeat. Should eventually leave nothing but unrusted metal. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I saw a video where a guy put vinegar in his cylinders for a few days. Didn't help and probably just locked it up worse. Your best bet is to say 'mei banfa' and walk away from the engine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
governorsam Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Have also heard the acetone and atf mix works well. some old Barry told me, or I heard about it here. same thing really… 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta fill it right up, and then neutralize and flush with fresh water, then coat immediately 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
