    Tornados

    This was from yesterday, the left is the RadarOmega app with the box where it says radar indicated and on the right is the text that comes in any app, is broadcast on the NOAA weather radio station, and should be scrolled on the screen on TV which says the source. If they update it it will say...

    COOLING SYSTEM PROBLEM FIXED

    Those are cheapo, low-flow fans, and you're expecting the air to make a 90 degree turn right at the back because the shroud has no depth. No idea what the fan setpoint is, but it will spike a few degrees above that point even if it has enough capacity to cool it forever. It won't run right on...

    Hot Rod Power Tour 2024

    I'm expecting that there will be a bunch of less than 10 year old Camaros, Mustangs, Challengers, and Chargers there that not many people really look at like many other events.

    Tornados

    They're trying to save lives, there's a pretty solid chance based on doppler radar, especially with a hook echo present that there is one trying to drop. In some cases it's night or rain wrapped so seeing it for real is tricky. They actually do have levels... Radar Indicated, Confirmed (Meaning...

    Classic auto air install 1970 Duster with 340 and Edebrock Super Victor EFI Manifold

    Update, it's all finished, charged up. Was blowing 40 degree air in the outer vent yesterday when it was 75-77 and very humid. I did find it cycles a lot because of the evaporator freeze up switch seems to get tripped a lot in humid temps. There was water condensing on the bottom of the unit...

    Tornados

    Hope everyone is alright, one missed my folks place in TN December 9th by about 800 feet. Their house was fine but that was a close call.

    Brake boil over

    The newer caps with the vents like this - you need some air space for expansion to happen. You don't need the fluid all the way up to the bottom of the openings for the caps. You want at least 10% of the total reservoir volume for air space. But yes, the vents toward the back is very...

    A Body Frame Connectors

    Yeah, I can jack up my very well used/high mileage car and the doors open and shut exactly the same and the gaps do not change whatsoever. One of these years I need to actually rebuild the hinges so it's right and fix the solidly welded striker but this car is in the 260-270k mile range as far...

    A Body Frame Connectors

    Trust me, there's probably few people on here that did more projects that take patience and pre-planning - MPFI, 6-speed swap, Classic auto air, etc... this one just doesn't seem worth the extra effort compared to the other options. Most of the other frame connectors you just pop the front...

    A Body Frame Connectors

    Subframe connectors are great. I don't know that I would suggest putting on the USCT ones unless you're either a masochist or have the car totally blown apart. I have the hotchkis ones and it really stiffened up the car. The door used to rattle on bumps and no longer did immediately after...

    Which thermostat to go with 185/175 temp sensor?

    Most cars you would do a 180 stat and turn the fan on at 195 or 200. That is not hot enough to do anything you'd need to worry about.

    Classic Auto Air update 3/28/2024

    I have the same setup you do, I didn't charge it yet, but mine has held vacuum since November so I don't expect problems so long as the compressor can build pressure I did drive the car with the belts setup this way and they seem fine -> I didn't turn a ton of RPM yet but it made a 20 mile...

    Classic auto air install 1970 Duster with 340 and Edebrock Super Victor EFI Manifold

    Sorry I forgot to mention I made a bracket for that tube to hold it up, but it seems like the hot ticket. If anyone needs one, let me know and I'll get in contact with my friend about pricing/availability.

    Classic auto air install 1970 Duster with 340 and Edebrock Super Victor EFI Manifold

    I cut and modded my glovebox - the JB Weld Plastic Weld worked good, but I got some runs. Not a big deal since you never see it anyway. For some reason I had to cut the upper corner because of the pinch weld on my car...This is a later plastic glovebox. Now it fits fine. Interior is back...

    Oil filter question.

    I think it was last year when it aired first on Motortrend+, no clue where it was made. Like I said, my shorter ones are USA and are from last year so who knows. It's possible the China made WIX is still made well. Depends on what they did to make them, if its all the same spec and the same QC...
