    you could get real trick and run the fuel cell mounted on a scale, just keep and eye on the weight remotely...aircraft style. "I got 35 lbs, Im good!"

    Another gauge corrector--cheaper than MeterMatch, 33.00

    how about running a fuel flow meter and just keeping an eye on it? 15 gallons flows 15 gallons. When the meter has flowed 13 gallons time for a fill up and a reset. No sure how much these are but this one is $35. It may measure way too much like 1-60 liters per minute...

    Water pump swap on 170 slant

    did they do the A/C-non A/C fin count change? Ive seen so many rigged Mopar pulleys with spacers you'd think it was stock.

    Anti Freeze question

    its illegal on the strip but other than that, sounds like a winner! That Dex-cool about ruined my Suburban. Going on a multi state road trip and we pull into an Albuquerque service station running a little hot. Right as I'm about to pop the hood, the stat housing blows out and dex cool shoots...

    D4B and LD4B side by side pics

    with gask-a-cinch......? How about AL spray paint on copper head gaskets? I dont see any issues unless its a sliding gasket face like on a slant exhaust manifold or the bottom of a head that takes a certain RA so the MLS gasket bites OR slides.

    Cam Phasing

    Ive seen oil drive hex worn almost round and all that torque runs through that keyway. Had SG rear axle splines twist almost a full spline right out of the carrier, stuff happens.

    Oil filter adapter gasket location

    I used a Magnum nipple and adapter plate on a 360, worked. Some say you have to bend the plate a little for it to seal but Mine sealed fine.

    Oil filter adapter gasket location

    The water store on the corner has spigots where you fill your 5 gallon bottles under. They used both hot and cold valves so they turn on left and right!

    stamped steel LA rocker arms

    Supposed to be a heavier stamping in the 340/360 but that was debunked once. But they are the same dimensions.

    Spare parts prices

    Bought 2 front loader washer/dryer combo. $200 as they washer "leaked" and the dryer did not match the new models. The "leak" was a rubber 90 on the top that a rat had chewed through. I just muscled the hose around the corner and its still going strong, its a newer design but goes to show you...

    We had a 1955 5 pilot light oven with a griddle, gas man says it was drawing about $350/yr on pilot light alone. I should have just lit the damn burners myself as it was really a neat old oven. The griddle was awesome as well as the little matching salt.and pepper shakers outboard of the built...

    Spare parts prices

    I bought a 1981 Coleman gas generator just for the 5HP Tecumseh green painted motor for my 1968 Powell minibike, paid $50 for it on facebook. Motor probably had 1 hour on it as the exhaust was still painted! Took it to a buddy who had a lathe and he turned down the tapered shaft to a 3/4 shaft...

    I bought a $50 1982 Coleman gas generator with a 5HP Tecumseh in avacado green just to get the motor. I'm putting it into a 1968 Powell Challeger mini bike. Everyone told me buy a Predator, nope these bikes came with a vertical cylinder! Too bad it didn't come with the rear mounted siphon carb...

    Trans flush with no convertor plug...

    This fluid is done, I cant see how this black stuff (an inch over the full mark too) could be good and of course I drained it into a dirty pan with a few leaves and treed droppings into it so its not reuseable. Its a FWD Mazda with the Ford/Mazda 5F27EL transmission. I took the valve body out...

    Trans flush with no convertor plug...

    Whats procedure? I'm thinking pull cooler line into bucket and run another line back to trans and gravity feed it new fluid in via funnel at about the same rate? In neutral so it pumps? Flush until it runs red or out of fresh ATF? Cycle the selector a few times to clear the passages? Dumb they...

    Fake Money Used to Purchase Classic Car

    legal here in CA on cars over 20 years old. All they have to do is check the "odometer does not reflect actual mileage" box or something like that on the registration application. You can tell the sucker its got 3600 miles on it and its not getting anyone jail time or even a ticket as long as...

    Any electronic shift AT trans experts in here?

    Not old Mopar related but may cross over.....2008 Mazda 3, no first gear, says shift solenoid stuck. Easy fix? just a new solenoid or are these usually TCM related? 192K miles. Solenoids are right under the trans pan, looks like a 30 minute job. No codes, this is for sale and Im just researching it.

    65 Commando stock brake set up

    April 1 65 build date "S" 10's all around, but I had a 65 273 in 85 that had 9's. Not real good in a 340 powered car but light enough to stop OK, would not autocross on 9.s

    muriatic acid, OK for carb soaking?

    Iirc this and other Webers of the Italian made era are made of Zamac: Zinc, AL, magnesium and copper due to the weight of this body. That copper trace may be what im seeing at base of fuel bowl? The Chinese weber copies are mostly AL, softer and does not wear as well as Zamac hence the poor...

    muriatic acid, OK for carb soaking?

    10:1 Walmart "Klean strip" (2% final acid concentration) for the win! 10 minute soak followed by a dunk in 1/4 cup washing soda in a 1/2 gallon water neutralizer bath and then fresh water rinse. Follow up all unplated steel with WD-40 as they will flash rust. This was a 1973 Pinto Aluminum...

    muriatic acid, OK for carb soaking?

    I left a Carter booster in pine sol overnight and it came out spongy the next day. The reason I left it in overnight was because in 6 hours the pine sol didnt do **** to that Carter. I left a holley in the original Berrymans for 4 hours and it stripped the cad plating clean off. The video of the...

    bugger up a press fit little end? just bore and bush it. Probably happened lots of times in the past as these parts are over 50 years old now. Same castings could be done up either way, bushed is just 2 more machine operations from the start or an easy upgrade later.

    Dimpled Pistons?

    Has anyone ever heard of this being used successfully and how is it not mainstream on cars today if it is so 'good'? A 5.9 Diesel (?) reported like 15% increase in torque and HP while decreasing NOx and CO by like 66% just by switching to a dimpled piston. Im going to be putting brand new flat...

    Engine dies when warm

    There you go! :thumbsup: See if the divorced choke (the heated spring under that dome cover) even moves when warming from cold with a heat gun or something. Sometimes they break. If it does make sure its at operating temp and turn adjuster screw on side of spring (if it has one) or bend the...
