Please explain how we are wrong. The only points that have any effect in straight line braking, are the contact patch of the tire, and the...
The only way caliper position can influence lift or dive, is to have it’s mount float radially, and it’s stop link connected to a point on the...
When you say overly sensitive, combined with what you have stated earlier, I am assuming you mean rear lock up, not that the entire car stops with...
Donnie Johansen was going to make some dodge roller cores. There is a wild swing in cost, but you can have a billet cam made if you can’t find a...
Check the terminal that is NOT 12v with an ohm meter, to ground. The flasher requires input power, and a load to ground.(through the bulbs) the...
Assume any gun you see is loaded. Any metal you see is probably hot. Any edge you feel is sharp. Every tool you see is expensive. Any money you...
I agree with ekimneirbo. I have a series2 biridgeport, with a rotary table, and a D.R.O. for locating. There aren’t many things I can’t make with...
I was told to call Moon. Talk to Chico
I was taught, and it seems to hold true, that when tapping a female pipe thread, the tap should show 4 threads out of the tapped surface when at a...
If this is in reference to my post about Quick Fuel instructions, re-read the posted Quick Fuel instructions. I agree that 1 1/2 turns NORMALLY...
The reasoning for the quick fuel instructions are to prevent a beginner from doing the following.... Initial setting is intentionally lean. End...
I’ve seen the “mixture screws don’t change the A/F ratio” quote way to many times. In a steady state idle condition, with a properly set up carb,...
Also, If you have so much fuel that you are thinning out the oil, you may be looking at the wrong side of the equation. Any engine running way to...
Are you sure that firing order is correct? I realize that there is a printed page there that shows firing order and location, but every Ford (I...
I’ve been helped out by FL. Also got a cool sticker with my purchase! If you’ve been there, you won’t forget it.
I disagree with the 1800-2000 recommendation. Im thinking you’ll be in the 2800-3200 range if the engine is a true 500 hp at that cubic inch.
Converter is, in my opinion, the single most important part in making the car feel “right”. Call any reputable converter builder with as much info...

Some may need a decoder ring for the “710” reference, but yeah!
Oops. Yes, misinterpretation. Still a great mph!
Power is there to be a much lower ET fo sho! Mine was 8.70 at that mph.
Trap set.
Different coils are built differently... but in general terms, the coils used in the cars that this site caters to, only require a ground on the...
It seems that you need an explanation of why there are two (+) wires to the coil. The ignition switch supplies 12v to a resistor in both “run”...
Liberty may not have one in stock, but they will make one if you talk to the right person, and pay the right price. It won’t be a stock...
It’s not the brake fluid that causes it. You can put heat to a brand new/ never used brake hose. It will do the same thing. It’s the crimp bubble...
Seems a lot of the replies here assume it was the fuel line that blew. Brake hose crimps are a sealed chamber in themselves. As said by previous...
