If you don't have to weld to it, use 1144 stressproof. Similar properties to heat treated 4140 w/o having to heat treat it. Bend it cold
Where in the northeast?
The radius rods also handle the forward thrust to push the vehicle forward. You're asking that torque tube to do way to much work, recipe for...
The kid is running with some pretty elite company. The other drivers that have won Daytona with the Wood brothers were; Tiny Lund, A J Foyt, Cale...
The short lower links, headed up hill towards the front cause it to want to oversteer. When it does, it compresses the outside rear suspension...
Unkl Ian and RottenLeonard have it pegged. The center link/tie rod system on independant suspensions uses the steering arm/tie rod angle to make...
Couple thoughts; Rears shouldn't take that long to catch up, are the brackets putting the calipers in the right location? If they're offset you...

Sorry, wasn't specific. Was wondering what the angle was with the pinion at 3* down?
After you raised the pinion, what was the angle on the driveshaft?
Motor has a miss, can hear the valves ticking (they were snugged up in the beginning), May not be ignition. If the valves are out of adjusment...
First one you show is a "combination valve" , combines metering and proportioning.The metering portion doesn't allow the fronts to work until the...

That's another can of worms. Very rarely does a rear move up and down with no rotation. They rotate around an instant center that's determined by...
None needed. Many times I've found out I'm wrong by trying to prove I'm right. That's what makes these discussions valuable. I've worked up quite...
The double carden joint (considered to be a constant velocity joint )is a perfect example of why this works. If you look at one, the center...
By nature a u-joint at any angle other than zero causes the driveshaft to speed up and slow down slightly twice per revolution. The greater the...
For instance; the tailshaft could be down 2* to the rear and the pinion down 2* to the front with the driveshaft level. Not parallel but equal...
The tailshaft and the pinion don't have to be parallel. You need the angle in the u-joint to be the same on each end and in phase. In a case like...
Hoerr Racing Products has one that mounts off the nose on the front of a quick change. Pretty slick, center bellcrank rides on a large bushing.
The fuel cell needs to be vented. If all the other ports are closed off the pump won't be able pull fuel out.
You absolutely need the bead, everytime I've seen a hose pop off it's because there was no bead. If you've got a 15# cap, that's 36 pounds trying...
Motor in the house, yeah plenty in the basement, standard procedure, but... How 'bout; A quickchange on the kitchen table. Sweated the new...
Trophy I made for the car owner. His call on how long to go between freshenings. <!-- google_ad_section_end -->
Yeah, a real cheap one might cost you more in the long run!
Can't really do that. Complete new non stock installation. Big remote cooler, long lines, different converter etc., etc.. If I knew where the...
Think I've got a mismatched dipstick and tube. What should the fluid level be relative to the pan gasket rail. Thanks in advance.
Wow, thought I was the only one to use a vial of mecury for ballast. Shudder to think what the EPA would do about that nowdays.
Yeah, ideally double shear would be better but... It's a 3/4" bolt, we used a similar setup for the panhard bar in 3200# BGN cars and never had a...
Looks nice, here's something similar I did for another OT car.
