The point is.. that physics always rules. Arguing over roots(positive displacement) vs centrifugal and the heat they "generate" is moot. The...
I put the link in, and tried to imbed the pic again, but somebody's having a problem. If it's me, I'm sorry.
Ahem, Blowers(generic) don't generate heat other than from whatever friction there is. They condense the heat that is there. When you put two...
A headlight door and radio garnish. Anyone know what they fit? They came in the bed of a truck I bought; along with lots of rust and other...
Here's a cheap idea.. Raise the slope of the drip rail a bit at the rear and extend it about 2 inches. This would give a slight visual change...
I highly recommend a RELTON brazed carbide hole saw. They are high quality and stout. Go slow and it will last forever. Good luck with anything else.
My GMC guages have been at the speedo shop for electronic conversion for over 2 years; in fact, it was 2 years last July. They keep telling me 2...
Another 55 Chevy bumperless night I was coming back from the Blueberry Cafe on Highway 99, going So. toward Merced when a ditwad in a Jag thought...
Wore the nails off my puny fingers looking for pics of my 55 without a front bumper, of course. I got a fix-it ticket for the bumper being off one...
I may get hate mail, but a "different" straight 6 would be a Chevy "Atlas" LL8. It puts out 290HP in factory trim. They are easily found, and...
I give it a solid 9! I've never seen a 10 yet.
OK, Okay... just PM me his phone number and I'll take care of it for you. Chas.
I think also that you have a timing problem. Maybe lean, so check the vacuum line and the distributor for advance. Lean engines start hard....
Hey, I just learned that a credit card is safer than my debit card. Thanks! I've always had someone answer the phone at Patricks. Sometimes I have...
After using the PB, put a screwdriver shank in the screw and rap it a couple a times with a light hammer. This helps the stinky shit penetrate and...
$ Eastwoods $ I don't know anything about the merits of their welders, but I do know that they stand behind them. Anyway, Eastwoods is having a...
It's not the rusty metal, booger welds, junk parts. It's the person. Some people even drive imports. Rat Rodding is practiced by members of...
OH, Oh, Oh... That panhard bar setup just makes me feel all fuzzy. I just sent my car to the crusher.. Kudos to you! Great craftsmanship and...
This isn't gospel, but I think that the fumes in a gas tank are too rich to be ignited by a spark. It takes more oxygen to get an ignitable...
Eastwoods has a sale on a TIG welder and plasma cutter combo for $999. Do you guys know anything about these? I am unexperienced with both, and...
If you have the other plate; can you just put it on and have it inspected like a fix-it ticket, or is there a fine involved? We used to do fix-it...
The ballast resistor should be in series with the coil in run, and bypassed in start. A shorted or open condensor= no run.
Taupe.
Kalifornika, yeesh! I call it DMV roulette. The outcome of any transaction with them is a toss up depending on whose window you get. Do not try...
This just about says it all... and saves me from typing. Good info here. For most hot rod trailers, a dual axle trailer with single brakes work...
I'm not familiar with the Dodge, but Squirrel is correct. Just use a razor knife to cut the rubber on the inside and push the assembly out the...
I just bought a 1950 Champion Starlight Coupe and am in the process of getting her here. So I guess I like them. Not too sure about my wife...
The nice people at Pirate Jacks have always helped me. I usually get a smaller bore MC than usual so I can lock the brakes up if I need to. It, of...
Anyone that has a 37 Ford makes me stand up and listen! I absolutely agree with this man's recommendations.
You don't need a certified electrician. If you can work on cars, you can probably wire in 220 to your garage. Remember, 220 will handle twice the...
