Thanks for the stories !!!!!! Those oil rig stories are brutal regarding oil "contamination." Usually guys that work on those rigs are very...
Being popular Mopar, was there ever a fix?
That's sort of the whole point, the steering wheel surface has to be damaged by ozone, UV, plasticizer problems, etc. and probably has to be...
Beer? LOL I'm thinking of starting again! (Trying to lose weight at 69 is next to impossible - no longer opportunity for that much sex! LOL)...
It's not a question of seat position - it's one of "girth!" LOL 54" waist & mini truck (My Bad) I've never seen anything like a fuzz, the crud...
There must be something wrong with the steering wheel surface because I have to carry baby wipes to clean the wheel a couple/few times a month...
The 60's Chevy and Olds (maybe Buick) diaphragm pressure plates will fit the B&B bolt pattern. This is what Studebaker used, a 10.5 B&B...
This list is priceless. But there are too many to memorize and at 44 pages, the list is too long to read. This would be a great Sticky but...
They say it does not remove aluminum oxide and that it does not affect aluminum - but that sounds like "won't worry if you get some on aluminum."...
Problem is it's on a daily driver and I don't have a 2nd DD car. The other problem there is a shorty y-pipe (exhaust manifold is twin port) and...
I only want to bring that up only if I know they used the wrong wire. I have to get them to bend up some more pipe to route properly and don't...
A highly recommended shop did at really crappy job on a full 304 stainless system. They didn't route pipes over crossmembers (are hanging low...
A 1953 inline 6 design was based on hand numbers and hence huge safety margins. The older the design, the less likely rust pits will cause a...
LESSON #1: Induction heating works on BRASS - ".... and any metal that conducts electricity" according to the web. WHY do induction cooktops...
Found Dorman and a stud kit w/brass nuts for the precise OEM part number of my studs. Dorman 03109 - M8-1.25 [ATTACH]
Melting the brass nuts off: how hard is it to not end up brazing some nut brass to the stud? This brings up another question: where to get...
YES to NEVER SEEZ! I've used since 1970! I'm pissed, I'm 69 and just ran out of my pint of Nickel. So being the cheap skate I am, I'm trying...
My limited experience with brass nuts has been on heavily rusted studs for over 10 years. I live in the Rust Belt and road salt creates an...
Yes, that is what I remember back in the 70's. I could imagine rust crystals forming and wedging/gripping the brass threads to the point where...
Although this does me no good, check out this unique product: [IMG]
Impossible to use a tool since no side space. The nuts are basically at the bottom of a small diameter (4") deep (18") hole. Further, being a...
Maybe if lucky! I have pulled nut threads in the distant past. Worst case the nut brazes itself to the stud. Problem is that the nuts are...
Good to know, I was definitely scared to heat them that hot. What was wrong with the one that couldn't be re-used? I don't want to use the...
I'm guessing these nuts have been on for 10-20 years. Back back around 1970, I was messing with the factory brass nuts Studebaker used and one of...
They gave me the show deal which was $369 + 15 shipping. A little cheaper than Amazon but I like the idea of buying from the manufacturer - there...
Thanks, one way or another, I'm getting a "birthday present" today. Called the guy's direct number, got Audix - I'll EDIT this post as I make...
I occurred to me after I posted this: I'm retired and attended a number of trade shows with a vendor (3 PRI, 1 SEMA, and 1 Superflow Adv Eng Tech...
I'm looking for someone who is familiar with what is out there and can share their experience. I'm going to buy one in the next 24 hours and...
All the history he told me about, it should be "published" - there is that has been lost. Imagine all the stories from Smoky Yunick's garage that...
I messaged Woody back and forth here and also emails about Bob Dwyer who actually NHRA raced a "late model" supercharged Studebaker - the last one...
