The answer to your question is going to vary with the pad, what pad you are comparing to, and the vehicle you are putting them on. Generally...
I can understand paying for new tires and expecting new tires. I'm not saying that tires don't deteriorate even when stored in a friendly...
Don't use synthetic fork/shock oil.
I agree, even if the unit could tolerate being run continuously at full output, 14 amps isn't enough to run the engine and lights at night, and...
The idea isn't as crazy as it seems. Large trucks typically have turbo intercooler(gets very hot under high boost), AC condenser(can get hot...
....... well, sort of. And, output is limited by how well the unit can cool itself. I agree with sunbeam, it looks like a permanent magnet unit....
Based in the size of the unit, the unit's lack of cooling provisions, and the size of the wire coming out of the unit; sustained output ability is...
I knew a guy who had a Cad-LaSalle behind several Hemis. The only time I knoiw of him breaking anything other than the 2-3 shift "button" was when...
The cast iron Hrdra-Matics were heavy, relatively expensive to build, and they had the potential to be very durable and tolerate a LOT of abuse....
Yes, everyone thought they were junk. In late 1968 I saw one behind a BB Chevy and it wasn't breaking. That's when I started to wonder if they...
That will work fine. In case you have the intake off, it would be best to keep the oil separator that's in the valley inside the engine.
The average street car, and especially older ones, twist and flex a lot. With solid mounts that can break things, even the block. On top of that,...
Realize that too much release clearance is not good either, especially with as diaphragm pressure plate.
The historical significance of there cars is minimal in the U.S. When they were made they did matter in the countries where they were...
It depends on what you want to end up with. The later 1275cc engine was never used in the Morris Minor. It is essentially a bigger version of the...
I know people who have TIG welded aluminum AC tube. I'm not that good and never will be. I have flared it and used appropriate fittings. I have...
The purpose of a having a trans brake instead of just using the wheel brakes is that the suspension isn't loaded with a trans brake. If the...
Manufacturer torque ratings ARE based on achieving some level of durability. The number is not the maximum the trans can tolerate. The T-5 was...
GM used the T-5 on the SB Chevy so compatible parts are out there.
I still have one of those manifolds too. The turbocharged Jetfire had a draw-through carb, not a blow through. The turbo manifold you have(which...
Do as you wish, but if you are caught realize that; while there may be exceptions somewhere, signs or not, trespassing is trespassing. Basically,...
I have no first hand knowledge of this. What I read was that in spite of a slow-down Crane was a viable enterprise.When the financial business got...
You seem to believe I have no first hand experience with ADI. That is incorrect. You misrepresent what I have posted past and present, then...
Most high school students could have drafted more lucid cometary than you did. You have no idea as to what I know, what I have done, or how...
Based on what you are saying, if Don Garlits told you something about running nitro in a Chrysler Hemi you would consider it BS if he didn't give...
The strength of nodular/malleable/ductile iron aproaches the strength of low carbon(mild) steel. But, steel has better fatigue properties. A...
31Vicky with a hemi, You have asked me to footnote things I have seen and tests I have read over many years. For the most part I can't do that....
I'll try to explain this one more time. If you put fluid injection on a properly calibrated existing engine it costs power. As I have already...
Except for the flash heat condition I described, alcohol/water injection costs power. That is a well documented fact that has been proved by...
I had a turbo F85(Jetfire). Ut had a fairly complicated control system for the ADI system. When fluid ran out, or the system was unable to...
