    Removable skid plate for k frame

    I thought someone may be able to use the idea or modify it for their own use. My oil pan hangs down below the k frame and I wanted some protection. In the photos I used square tubing and plate and welded grade 8 bolts inline with the 2 holes from the factory on the k frame. This allow the k...

    You are making great progress! Let me know what color or code you used. I found safety red out of a rattle can was pretty close. Andrew

    1982 Maico 490 Resto

    I know the full history of the bike. It bought from a guy in SAN Bernardino who brought it over himself from Europe and owned it for 16 years. It was ridden regularly at GlenHelen. Mechanically the bike is mint, I purchased new plastics from Gary. I just need to frame it to clean it up. It just...

    Accusump installed on B motor

    It runs into the back of the NPT fitting. The sump has a one way valve the allows it to fill and then discharge later when either you activate the switch or if left on, when the oil pressure drops.

    Good carb cleaner?

    1 gallon pail of Gunk Carb cleaner. It comes with a basket inside to soak parts. I use it in a heated ultrasonic unit. Works pretty good. Andrew

    Accusump installed on B motor

    I thought I would share a few pics for future reference for other members. I used Riv nuts in the inner fender well to mount the band clamps and Aeroquip fittings. It’s a 2 quart system. Note; I have a Victor intake on and I have the rear of the hood kicked up about half an inch. Andrew

    2020 Ram Ecodiesel reviews please

    No clue, I know the use of good oil and frequent oil changes goes along ways, especially with diesels. Like I said, my neighbour is happy with theirs. It would be a bonus if you had the service history for the truck. I was excited when the diesel option first came out, but couldn’t justify the...

    2020 Ram Ecodiesel reviews please

    I know the local dealer around here has replaced more than 5 of the motors (the one I saw had 2 windows in the block due to bottom end failure). You would need to be driving long hauls to get the money back for the diesel cost. Having said that, my neighbour has a 2016 with zero issues. I would...

    Oil Accumulators

    there are 2 oil ports on the big block on the back at the top, one side (drivers side) I used for the oil pressure gauge and the other has an npt plug. That is the one that I plan to use. I believe AndyF mentioned the same above. Andrew

    Oil Accumulators

    I have a 2 quart system that I need to install. I was planning on installing on the inside of the passenger side fender. The trunk idea is making me rethink. I also plan to plumb into the back of the block. Andrew

    Looking for Motor Mount Isolator

    I believe it or not, I bought the passenger side from the local Chrysler dealership about 8 years ago. They had to order, but it may be worth a shot. Andrew.

    Do you keep a dehumidifier in your garage to keep your classic car from turning into a pile of rust?

    I’ve been told that leaving a few incandescent light bulbs on helps as well. My friend leaves 2 on in a 53’ trailer that he stores parts in, and never has an issue. Andrew

    Victor intake on a B motor and stock hood

    Yes. It was a whole new motor build (still based on the 400). The intake from RPM to the Victor was the only thing that changed dimensionally. Andrew

    Victor intake on a B motor and stock hood

    Here is where I ended up, a bit old school, but it’s worth it in my opinion to get the HP #’s we were after. I can probably take another 1/4” out of it. Andrew

    Victor intake on a B motor and stock hood

    I managed to get the stock hood to close by kicking up the back of the hood (1/2”), using a drop base and air filter lid. Andrew
