    Starrett got bought out?

    I remember when the Japanese started making/copying "measuring" tools. They were complete garbage. As time went on, they kept improving the quality. Now Mitutoyo is a brand that can compete with the best of them. I have many measuring tools. All are B&S, Starrett, or Mitutoyo. Yeah I have a few...

    How in HECK to you figure HP on a B&S engine?

    I have a 196 CC engine that is rated at 6.5 hp. Going to use it to build a "hybrid" handi cap scooter. The scooter uses two 12 volt lawn mower starter batters in series (24V), and doesn't have a lot of range. Going to couple the engine to a 24 volt GM alternator to keep the batteries charged up...

    Freind got a long-awaited phone call

    In most, if not all states it is illegal to sell a car without a title. However most states do have a method of obtaining a title, but it can be challenging and expensive. I have purchased vehicles without titles. I bought my 66 Valiant from a salvage yard with no title, just a bill of sale. It...

    Tracking USPS Signature Delivery mail- WTF???

    Just a FYI. You could have gone to your local branch of the same bank, and made a cash deposit into his account. No chance of the check getting misdirected. I have done this. Actually the depositor does not even need to have an account at the bank.

    Tracking USPS Signature Delivery mail- WTF???

    Every one on here is bitchin. I'll give an attaboy. Awhile back I ordered a bunch of slant six OEM head gaskets from a vendor in New Zealand. They arrived in great condition about 7 days after ordering by DHL. I really thought it would take several weeks considering the distance, and customs.

    Bumper Boyz... Stay Away!!!

    So you got one nice set from a company that bats about 10% good product. What would you do if you had gotten a typical (bad) pair. If the Bumper Boyz product is so good, why not buy from them?

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    Morning. Worked on the cooling system on my D-100, yesterday. Looks like the radiator is partially plugged. Seems like no one has one available. Local rad shop wants $100 to rod it out and if any tubes open up then more money to repair. Guess I will call Champion and see how much extra they will...

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    This one is real special. It was given to me by a friend's family after he died. It has been modified somewhat. Slant six (seems like fairly low mileage), all emissions removed, and super sixed (don't know if from factory), A833OD, 3.91 SG 8 3/4 rear. Larger exhaust system. Factory AC, PS, PB...

    I still haven't learned how to do pics. Truck is nothing special. Just an old beater that runs real good. Has a fair amount of rust.

    Whose going to Garlits meet in Ocala, Fl, Nov 4-6

    I was there today. Not as large as it used to be years ago, but much better than in the last couple of years. Was a pretty good turnout. I suggest going over. It is free for spectators, $5.00 per car for parking.

    Put my Opel Manta on Bring A Trailer. Sold

    A few years ago, my Grandson found a real unusual Corvair. It was in kind of rough shape, but 65 or 66 convertable turbo charged 4 speed, with factory AC. It is the only Corvair I have ever seen with factory AC. I would have liked to have gotten the car, but his wife got rid of it very quickly...

    Stop in for a cup of coffee

    Good morning. I have that set. It is for the shift shaft seal. Allows the seal to be changed by just removing the levers on the shaft. Problem is, I have never been able to use it on an "A" body. Not enough room to the floor pan.
