    Another LA Roller Cam block…

    Sawsall the front of that **** with two vertical lines... Pull it out the front. It the way it is in those yards anymore. Watch someone destroy $500 in parts to get a $5 part out. Never a big proponent of that approach. Half off day is the key at PnP

    Break in cam with new Schumacher ceramic headers?

    Yes indeed, it can be done right. It takes about 2 minutes of wrong to touch up those pretty headers to the ugly side! Header companies say that to avoid customers that don't do things correctly then wanting a redo because the customer messed up. My all time favorite was a kid I knew that...

    Break in cam with new Schumacher ceramic headers?

    Put 40-45* timing on it when breaking it in. If you run vacuum advance on an engine, it likely has more timing than that WITH a load driving down the highway. There is no load on the engine when breaking it in. Timing numbers can be increased without issue. Done a bunch of ceramic coated...

    Jimacuda passed away Sept 30th

    Some of the Phoenix members and parts buyers may have known and dealt with Jim. He passed away Sept 30th, cardiac arrest at 62 IIRC. He went by Jimacuda here. 64BelvJim and Deconstructor Jim on some other sites, the the F body sites, etc. He was a really good guy and funny as hell. Got...

    Trailer/Winch Mount

    I cross drilled the mount so it could go 90* to trailer and also fits in the truck receiver. Makes grabbing cars in odd places much easier to access The winch mount is an old hitch receiver. I cut the ball mount of of it.

    Trailer/Winch Mount

    Here's what I did, when you have a winch disappear, you go a different route than to solid mount it in the open! Not sure what you guys are pulling up on trailer, M1 Abrams tanks? That dinky HF winch pulls up C bodies with 2 locked up tires on my trailer.

    Hey parts vendors, how about INCLUDING A DECENT SET OF INSTRUCTIONS in with the products you sell?

    There is a reason I call them De-structions Can't tell you the number of products I sold that came back FUBAR'd with the instruction still neatly folded in the sealed plastic bag they came in from the factory! The best part was the part was broken in an EXACT fashion that the de-struction...

    hate to bring up a sore subject but

    Same thing happened with the 7.3 PSD injector cup kit. Someone made one up, rent was the cost of the set up, $375 and you got your "rent" back minus $25 upon return. Then someone got it on a sob story without paying for it and kept it. The guy that made it said F it... not doing another...

    Unpopular opinion. I'm so frustrated I hate car shows/cruises.

    Yep The best one was the random kid in the front seat of a car eating an ice cream sandwich, mom standing next to car with a stroller, that someone else owned. Not a fan of the 50's music, but it's OK. Just keep it mellow enough that people can enjoy without being overwhelmed. The people...

    Stock Market

    @inertia I really like Josh Brown. He has a youtube thing called the compound, IIRC. They have some obscure heavy hitters on. This is for anybody reading... I can't stand financial advisors where most don't equal the market return after fees. Most aren't worth a penny. Why would you pay...

    It Never Rains In Southern California...Not True This Weekend!

    Just had a midwest style rain come through. Crazy lightning and some of the biggest raindrops I've seen out here. Street was flooded in minutes. Most of the DG in my yard is now in the street Turned off my sprinkler system, not going to need it on for a few days

    Turbo Action 17156 on a mild 340 street Duster?. Help

    Missed the 904 in first post. 727's can explode. Unless you can spin a 904 to about 8500+, they aren't going to let go. Still try to stick with 2nd gear, regardless.

    Turbo Action 17156 on a mild 340 street Duster?. Help

    what transmission? 727or 904? 904 not a big deal. With either if you happen to start a burnout in first go right to second when the tires start spinning.

    jeffy and jimmie gave out plenty of shots over the years. Jimmie benefited from the stupid chase format and Knaus being a really smart. Elliot and Mark Martin were typically super clean racers. Martin would have won multiple championships if he chrome horned people like Sr.

    E58 400 plus HP Dart sport build

    how much initial timing do you have on the engine? I know you have a thumpr cam is it the small, mid or large one. If someone told you you would get 13in of vacuum with the mid or large one, yeah not gonna happen at a typical idle level. The large one is 240+ at .050, not "idle" or vacuum...

    More Seat Belt Baloney

    Go up the ladder if you have to with the rule book in hand. The other fun one is having a full cage in the car, doesn't run the et that requires a window net, and getting hassled for no net in a cage car. IIRC, you can get a letter from NHRA clearing up any of the rules for those pesky...

    ? For those who have recently bought or sold a vehicle

    Go to the bank the person has funds in. Open a bank account and swap it right there in the bank to your account. Never step foot outside the bank with cash. Do a transfer to your regular account when you choose. Wire transfer is great too. There is a ton of fraud with cashiers checks unless...

    Indy Car Brake Loss after 180-mph straightaway...

    better that outcome than head on into that tire barrier with very little speed scrubbed off. Glad he is OK, viscous crash. Kill switch would do no good there. By the time you realize you have no brakes and get the switch, you are WAY beyond the point of no return and off track.

    Is there any value to these old parts other than scrap value ???

    Exactly, that one is the one I was speaking of. Looks like it may have a snubber on it.

    Is there any value to these old parts other than scrap value ???

    If you have any dana 60's, those sell pretty easy. Have to know what you have and go from there. Your audience matters and getting it in front of them. Selling one shot, expect no more than about scrap metal pricing.
