    NHL 23-24

    Dave is a unique individual. One of my neighbors is a Bruins fan. He's been avoiding me lately. :poke:

    NHL 23-24

    Our top line has not shown up yet for this series, not sure what they're waiting for. Krieder is -5,(!) Zibanejad is -3, Panarin is only a +1. Vinny Trochek and Barclay Goodrow have both really stepped up they've been our entire offense these last four games. Rempe is +2 but that does not mean a...

    NHL 23-24

    Don't remind me! I can usually accept losing as long as the Islanders don't win either. We have as good a shot as any team right now so I'm cautiously optimistic.

    U-Haul car trailer experience?

    The trailers are actually decent, I've used them a several times. I have had it happen more than once where the ratcheting tire straps are totally trashed and/or locked up so just be aware of that before you take it. Rent it when you get down there so you're only pulling it one way. Like...

    NHL 23-24

    I tend to agree, he has been taking A LOT of dumb penalties and it's been frustrating to watch. I appreciate his toughness but you can't keep putting the team at a disadvantage with undisciplined play. Not very Captain-like! He should be taking Igor out to dinner for picking him up. I think we...

    Awful quiet in here. My favorite thing from last night’s game was after he scored his second goal of the night Sean McDonough goes What’s gotten into Barclay Goodrow???

    NHL 23-24

    Ranger-Panther game was draining, very relieved to have come away with the W. Rangers would have been toast if we had lost the first two in a row at home. We are really showing some grit this year, good to see. Winning OT games like that can turn a series though and the Panthers looked...

    Headliner or Glass... Which should go First?

    110% install the headliner before you put the glass in, especially since you already have the glass out. IMO, it's not even a choice. 413, I'm not sure what cars you've done them on but based on my experience, putting a bow/cloth style headliner in a Duster with the glass in sucks. It can be...

    Distributor Rebuild Question

    Glad you were able to work it free. My apologies for suggesting the cam and plate were two separate pieces, that was obviously 100% incorrect. The concept is the same though.

    Distributor Rebuild Question

    It might just be really stuck. The lower shaft pin only holds the collar in place. The little i.d. circular clip holds the T-bar to the shaft so once that's out and you get the the reluctor off the T-bar will slide out. They are two separate parts. The whole shaft assembly should then drop out...

    Gen3 hemi tkx swap

    Maybe I misunderstood but he asked specifically how much travel the throwout bearing should have? The concept is simple and should be the same no matter what the application. There should be very little travel for the reasons I gave. Too much travel and you'll potentially push the piston out of...

    Gen3 hemi tkx swap

    Shouldn't be a lot. Isn't there a spec in the instructions? Several years ago I put an American Powertrain hydraulic throw out bearing in my '68 Coronet. While not a Tremec with an aftermarket bell, one would think it's the same idea. Target travel/air gap on that part was .150". .200" is too...

    Builders: Square engine, Over Square, or Under Square for you?

    Over square every time. The quote below is from Darin Morgan; "An oversquare motor is absolutely superior at high rpm compared to a long-stroke motor of the same displacement. Formula One and IRL motors are hyper-oversquare, meaning the bore is twice the size of the stroke. If I could do that...

    360 vs 383

    OK but you used NHRA specs to make a point and used them incorrectly at that. Calculators are tools. Mock them all you want but I’ll base whatever I’m doing on data and fact. None of that makes sense or has any relevance to the discussion. It also sounds as if you’ve been living under a rock...
