While I am far from an expert on the matter, I believe that K-Jetronic was introduced on Porsches not for performance reasons, but to meet...
IIRC, the engines in those cars have a dry sump lubrication system. Plumbing a pre-luber (Accusump et al) would not be hard, and running the pump...
In addition to this source, these come up on eBay a lot. A couple of things I have found. There are units designed for the front and ones for...
I have used heavy duty u-bolts with a thick cross bar before. The main liabilities are finding one with a tight enough U that is of heavy gauge...
This information may be already be stated in this thread, but I am going to put it all in one place for you since I think it is the most likely...
I agree completely. You all can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that innovation is an important part of the tradition of hot rodding. My...
IMO, the net effect is positive. The information age has made it easier for followers to follow, but also easier for the innovators to innovate....

A link to the auction would help. There are multiple cars that have electric power steering, but one of the first and likely the most common for...
x2. Thank you very much. Not from the factory, AFAIK, but there are plenty of aftermarket floater setups for Ford 9" rear ends. Look at the...
Yes. IIRC, clecos were originally designed for use in the aircraft industry where riveted panel joints are common. If you have a line of rivets,...
I know you asked for a PM, but I figured I can't be the only one who wants to know, so if you wouldn't mind posting up how to swap tubes, that...
I guess you skipped the 11 pages of "Late-Model Power" that is in that same issue. :cool: I like all car stuff myself. Old, new, import,...

OK, so IF you are going to paint the whole car, then the rattle can is a bad idea. However, if you are painting body parts (like fenders), that...
Find what went into a big-block Econoline and get that. If it will crank that engine, it will crank your 302. Once you have that as a baseline...
It is called mill scale and the only solutions I have seen involve soaking it in acid, which is obviously out of the question for you. AFAIK,...
You want to make sure that the castings aren't cracked or otherwise buggered up. The bolt holes on the bells can crack when they are...
Good point. I have seen it on late model cars, particularly with ABS systems, where all the front lines have the normal size fitting (3/8-24 for...
There are three flares. Assuming this is for your 1953 Pontiac, it is safe to assume that it isn't the bubble flare. That means it is either...
IMO, that is one of the very rare no lose situations. We all have plenty of experience with the no win situation (especially if you are married),...
If you are near Charlotte/Mooresville, there are dozens of race shops that can do it. There is also Tiger Rear Ends who can probably do it in...
Best method: Bore the hole so it is round, not worrying about the thin walls. Get a piece of softer metal tube, aluminum or brass, that is...
I've got brake line in my garage that is labeled 3/16" and has bubble flares on it. That obviously doesn't preclude it from being 10mm just...
Not necessarily true. There is also 3/16" bubble flare available. That usually comes with metric fittings, but it is always best to check. IMO,...
[IMG] It won't be 37° AN type from a parts house, so it is one of the above.
If you aren't picky, and particularly if you are going to hack them up, used Wilwood and similar pedals are all over fleaBay from race teams....
I know little about the domestic-type systems referred to here, but I believe that they are not the same as K-Jet/CIS because they do not have the...

I am in no way trying to diminish the craftsmanship and skill demonstrated as it is way beyond anything I am capable of in any field not just...
