I'm a big fan of Push-Lok hose & fittings these days. I've been using water soluble KY Warming Gel Personal Lubricant while pushing the hose and...
#4224's are great . . . just make sure you bring a change of plugs for the short drive to the staging lanes from your pit spot!

Looks like Ohio George actually used casters instead of fixed wheels.
Brand new polished Torque Thrusts are a seldom used wheel these days!
There will always be something inherently cool to mechanically-minded fellows about engaging/disengaging the transfer of power with your left foot...
Done? They're never done! There's always de-bugging, maintenance or upgrades on the garage dry-erase board. The only way a fellow is done with a...
I think they're great in automatic transmission cars but will take a tad getting used to with driving habits. On a large turn radius such as a...
Two bad Optima batteries in two different vehicles here. Never again!
Great to see you again Joey! Great coverage!
Wow! That was a heck of long drive each way! Glad it was relatively uneventful for you.

John Buttera was a major factor in me wanting to become a machinist instead of an auto mechanic. Wish I could have met him. The White '33 Willys...
Bring #1 back to TDC (with both #1 int. and ex. rockers 'jiggley'), drop distributor down again with rotor pointing towards left rear carburetor...
"Your car is so cool! Would you like to sleep with my wife while I watch?"

I gotta agree about sticking with a good-quality basic light and avoiding the fancy dial-back-to-zero lights. Keep it simple!
I look at it this way . . . there's a reason that GM, Ford, and Chrylser don't use that style of cooler in trailering package'd pick-up trucks or...
Scientists have identified and isolated the DNA genome for the "cool" trait and concluded that "coolness" almost always skips a generation. If a...
Cool? I've known a lot of very cool guys in my life and they all shared the same trait . . . they didn't think, try or strive to be cool and just...
