I tried these "surface gap" plugs in my H-2 Kawasaki drag bike. They were supposed to be anti-fouling plugs, but I didn't have any fouling...
ALWAYS GO LOOK AT IT! I have a friend who bought a mild custom '49 Chevy Fleetline off Sleze-Bay a few years ago. It looked good in the pictures...
As far as a certain builder goes... a friend took me to a local shop (in FL where we winter), to introduce me to this guy. As soon as he saw my...
Does a Hamb build Increase a cars value? If you mean resale value, probably not. Like it or not, we are the last man standing in this crowd....
Was it Jerry Haley's from Northern IL?
The big red barn, Watrous... :cool:
Been that way many times. Went right past where I used to live. ;)
Working on a Burtz Block right now...
I use Providence 10w-30 Conventional in my '32. Works for me... https://tipsforefficiency.com/who-makes-providence-oil/
Best Rod Run in the country, in my humble opinion! ;)
This week is the 47th Annual Frog Follies. http://www.frogfollies.org/ There is a FALSE RUMOR going around that the 50th Frog Follies will be...
I pit for a friend that makes a little over 1000 HP N/A on one Dominator 4 bbl. Nothing like the "WOW!" factor though... :rolleyes:

No one told me we'd have to have a Masters Degree in chemical engineering, just to put coolant in our hot rods! :rolleyes: What's this world...

I use distilled water in dissimilar metals situations now. I didn't know about it before. My OT early 70's truck has an all iron motor and...
I had to ground my radiator and engine to the chassis and it still did it. I even lost a couple of throttle cables before I figured it out. That...
Never thought about that one! I have replaced a couple of hot water heaters in the RV over the years...
Yes, if you have dissimilar metals in the cooling system you need zincs. Iron and aluminum in coolant make a galvanic cell that is irreversible....
Oh yeah, when I first put the .040" over motor together, it only got about 500 miles to a quart of oil. When I ran it on the dyno, I made 2 pulls...
One of my worst/best street motors (+.030" 2-bolt stroker) had issues at 10,000 miles when it scuffed every cylinder. I was in a pinch, so I honed...
I like this one... [ATTACH]
@Jokester I've had Marine Sta-Bil go bad in my small engines over the off season and it looked just like that! It was dark greenish brown and...
If my car could talk, it would sing this song... [MEDIA]
<<< When I went to the DMV for this car, the lady asked me if it was a two door or four door. I told her it says "Tudor" right there on the paper...
I think it was because Henry was so frugal... ;)

Or a good business to get into! ;)
No. That myth died when the EL ES motors made their debut...
I learned something new today, steel pistons... Sounds like Egge Machine has you answer. ;)
