I'm also going to vote 180. Engine gets up to operating temp faster and runs better quicker. Engine temp shouldn't go up more than that if...
Had a 78 GMC with a crate replacement 350 in it, heard scraping and found the outer ring cutting into the timing cover. Also had a Mini Cooper...
Well I went through the entire post and I didn't see this so I am posting it. Title says unusual and I think a Maytag fits the bill. [IMG] [MEDIA]
If you aren't afraid of the job and maybe have a little experience with them, Weatherpack stuff. Here is a list of smaller connectors from 1-6 for...
I would check my engine design. flathead V8 has sludge traps in the crankshaft. Detergent oil would possibly loosen something you don't want...
I'm going with the fuel pump diaphragm has a leak from ethanol gas eating through it.
I call them Hardly Ablesons
Nice!
This was my understanding as well. Had something to do with galvanic response. Ahh, here it is. "It is partly a matter of convention and...
I came to say this. If the ground wire is original, the insulation is shot. It takes about an hour to pull the distributor, run a new ground and...
My understanding was that plastics were painted with a conductive paint and then plated the traditional way with copper, nickel and then chrome....
Another vote for JB Weld. Non conductive, used in electronics assemblies. Some youtube videos it's ridiculous how strong and durable it is for the...
Of course I'm not giving you a real testimonial but it's pretty common practice to glue rubber with cyanoacetate (superglue) when making seals in...
Resistor plugs! Almost nothing stumps me but I inherited an OT Ural that the old man "tinkered" with. After finally equalizing the carbs until it...
The third ones are the ones like the Termi's on a Ducati. [IMG] Here is a pic of a modified termi. You could leave the end open on the ones you...
Looks to me like your standard, stock vacuum secondary carb. If it means anything to you, rebuild it. If you really want to learn how they work,...
My understanding is that positive grounding increases galvanic response (rusting) of the body and cables where negative ground corrodes the...
I came across a web page a few years ago with a guy with a 53. He had a front sump and he just cut a big hole in the cross member and boxed it in...
I can't link it right now, but two tone black on the bottom and a chocolate brown with a little red tint to it on top, Almost a tarnished copper?...
Naphtha or lighter fluid but it's because I already have it in the house. Goo gone and other good suggestions.
10#/1000rpm. That's what bobistheoilguy says and I consider his knowledge and background to be extensive so that's what I'm going to go by....
Looks like a pretty standard rectifier and regulator setup.
I would bet money the big pulley is from what is generally called a "swamp cooler" or evaporative air conditioner used in dry climates. I also...
The short story is I am running 1.6 valves in my 8BA, bought the high compression Edelbrock heads. Test fit and spun the crank and my exhaust...
Pocket Nick is right. I have a new bushing on the counter at home and the oil hole is almost big enough for a toothpick to fit. That being said,...
It's an inductor. What it does is resist changes in voltage by an induced magnetic field from the current flowing thru it.Noise suppression is...
I'm just going to add easy off again. There is a whole thread that is huge on a VW website with testimony after testimony and pics to prove it as...
2 things. First, especially Edelbrocks are very sensitive to fuel pressure. If you aren't running a high quality fuel pressure regulator and...
This! I try not be all OSHA but using propane instead of non-flammable spray or gasoline to wash parts (which does a terrible job) instead of...
Carb cleaner. Just spray it until the rpm changes. It doesn't burn and stuff gets cleaner.
Separate names with a comma.
