This is not right. Not trying to be disrespectful. There is no such thing as an NPT nut. If there were, an o ring would not seal on a threaded...
Install residual check valves in the line to the brakes. The more pressure in the line, the tighter the seal in the bore of the wheel cylinder. A...
I do a fair amount of structural welding/repair. Have had to make the best of using what was available to me. Im in the process of building a new...
I sawed off a large chunk which worked for the smaller sizes, but I did need to use an end mill to make clearance for the 3/8 nuts.
Another trick some of you may want to do… I modified my bluepoint bender to bend at the nut also. A little cutting/clearancing, and an internal...
Yes. the far left one can be placed right on the nut. It is difficult to use with stainless or higher quality steel tube, bit works well on that...
The bender “Rice and Beans Garage”posted the link to would be an absolute dream to have. Wish I knew that existed before attaining all my others.
I have several benders. The one I use the most for brake lines though is my home built tight radius bender. I made it specifically to bend lines...
Sorry for the delay to the questions. In error, I said that I used Moroso filler. After looking at some paperwork, it was Rokblock from...
I used the Moroso kit from summit. I filled mine to the drain plug holes. This block is an industrial version with the lower water holes in the...
Leave them all at the curb with a “free” sign. See which one is gone first.
Actual hardening (heat treatment) must be done prior to grinding. If you have a finished cam, it can’t be heat treated.
I think it’s a great change that will benefit final use. It doesn’t look like space is a concern, so the added bulk is a non issue. The throat...
Air speed through the throat creates a low pressure area above the venturi. The higher the speed, the less the air wants to bend. At low air...
Building in progress. I decided that I need to define my space for sanity. One section is for my machining/fabrication, the other is for...
If your brake pedal touches the floor/firewall when empty of fluid, then a dual master may not help you in the event of a line/single circuit...
If they didn’t open the master cylinder cap, there would be no path for moisture to enter. The more you inspect, the more you contaminate.
I probably didn’t make it clear in my description. The engines I’ve had(I’m sure there are probably exceptions) were industrial 331s. The cam is...
So the industrial/ truck engines came with gear to gear cam timing. This means that the cam rotates ccw. Industrial/ truck engines can be...
That makes the most sense.
Those distributors require the use of a intermediate shaft that has a riser/receiver that extends above the gear. Also of note, that intermediate...
I had an off topic pickup that started running rough, smoking, fouling one spark plug. Turned out, the vacuum line to the modulator was...
you need a modulator. fluid from the trans can only enter trough a bad modulator.
Assuming all drums are the same diameter, and all shoes the same width, you would want the larger bore wheel cylinders on the forward axle. As...
There is a huge difference between lock up and initial application. The key is that on a dual circuit brake system, there is bias in the two...
The last paragraph is the most important here. Initiation of brakes is specific to vehicle. The exceptions to my description would be cars that...
You are the first one in this post to allude to the way a “modern” brake system is designed to work. Rear brakes set up first at low pressures....
Jimmy’s performance transmission in Illinois or Art Carr were the two places that the turbo Buick guys would go for bullet proof 200s. They can...
If anyone is in need of adjustables, Webster Heads has them in chromoly.[ATTACH]
I have some extras. pm me your shipping address
