I hate that I did not get to post the whistle tip video 1st. My brother sent that to me about 2 years ago and it still has to be one of the most...
Don't forget a proportioning valve.
You are exceeding the duty cycle.
A friend was building pot racks and wanted to do one in bronze and I offered my Tig. As noted above, brass smokes from the zinc and bronze does...
bearing spacers are not a good idea in a motor that will be "abused". There are heat transfer problems, stability issues, and it just adds one...
hope not, otherwise it would mean that the wife and kids would be "right"
try on-line. It shows stock that way
Seems lately many have asked this or that regarding welding machines and are looking for deals. I found this deal today on the Grainger website:...
Go used. I bought a Miller Dial-Arc HF several years back for $700. One of the best investments I ever made. Also, the inverters are nice, but...
If I remember correctly I believe that the bulkhead is something like a 1/2' male swage fitting. My Parker supplier has a female swage to barb...
I really like how you finished out the front half of the clip. Might have to "rip you off" and finish mine similarly.
Much of the success of using the hemi design in serious blown nitro and alcohol alcohol applications stems from the centrally located spark plug...
We discussed this at lengths during dinner last night. Yes Pickens will make tons of money on this, bit it is an interesting idea. Bush promotes...
Agree with 39 Ford. One of the few things that I get from Harbor Junk worth a crap is their cheap Ti coated uni bits. I even find myself...
I have used both with success. What is important is you are able to get the amperage and feed rate set correctly to give you a good weld. On a...
This has to be one of the best technical posts in a while. I would like to add a little something on the hemi question. I remember reading a...
All things above will lead to succes with high compression on pump gas; good quench, cam overlap, heat control,timing, and fuel ratio. One...
Same as above, if I had that much jack in a boat motor, I would be replacing lifters
Gear and bushing clearances are much "looser" than the newer transmissions. The older trannies need the thicker oil to absorb shock.
Is the starter bendix dis-engaging?
No disrespect, but at what it costs to build and maintain a nitromethane motor it seems that your builder would have told you that you cannot run...
No more "Texaco" stations in south Texas; they are all Shell now. Tried another tip on my daily beater (2000 F150) that i commute about 90 miles...
1965 T-bird (9 inch") is in the back of mine. 1/2" more narrow than stock, smooth back, and big drum brakes.
Compression ratio is not the end-all in determining whether pump gas can be used in a motor or not. Based upon the duration numbers of the cam...
Is there any reason as to why the compression is only 11:1? Either engine would greatly benefit from much higher compression with the cam...
Been a while since this thread has seen a post so I will move it up. When in college, I worked summers at the local Phillips refinery in Borger,...
I believe that I saw them in V8 monzas from the '70s also
Well plugs. If you did not seal them after tanking the carb, they are leaking.
take alook at this http://store.jetracinginc.com/rmcs21v.html
I have 2 aluminum ones also.
