Sorry, bit of a disconnect. I thought you were responding to the prior "rev kit" remark. Your springs (which look on the mild side for a roller)...
Thanks, but now I'm confused. You're using these as rev kit springs?
I have Crane 901-16 springs installed for just such a reason Can't find that number - do you have any specs or installation data?
The lobes on the can shouldnt wear at all. There isnt any friction in them They have very slight sliding friction, since they have to "spin up"...
I know all there is to know about the 235 Always like to hear from the original inventor.
Easiest: 225 slant Original: 230 L6 flathead, up to 1959 Traditional hot-rod: 251 or 265 Chrysler/DeSoto L6 flathead Period swap: Dodge 241,...
I know both cars are clean not stolen have been in my dads back yard for like 10 years And you know they weren't stolen 11 years ago and left...
All questions like this should be answered as follows: "What does it say in the service manual?", repeated 100 times.
Less than zero is too little, you don't want that. True. A blower too small for the engine, or turning too slowly, actually restricts air...
It's completely safe to run a 1" driveshaft, because my Uncle Bubba ran one 500 mph at Indy in 1972. Now, if everyone agrees with me, then...
Are all the DUI checkpoints/road blocks legal. No probable cause there, but they do it. DWI stops are an interesting case. The SCOTUS decision...
without probable cause. Remember that raid on the LDS sect with all the child marriages? How did they get the authority for that raid? They...
Most of those device do work, but not for the reasons they say. They're an obstruction, they make the flow rate drop, and work almost as well as...
Leaking air: manifold seal. Leaking fuel has to be from the carburetor.
Some have been built with the cranks welded together (Chet Herbert's dual 400 SBC). Some use "greek" couplers with a spline (like to a pinion)...
In my experience, a large percentage of mileage problems are the carburetor. Not even counting bad rebuilds, "rebuilt" consisting of taking it...
Some of the comments here, although I'm sure well intentioned, share the same error: that the public's comprehension of civil and criminal law is,...
Metering rod spring is too strong.
I'm sorry this is so difficult for some here. It's that annoying "physics" thing, right? "Shock absorber" is not what they do, or what they are,...
The improved ride is not because they "absorbed shock". What they did: reduce suspension travel (less "bouncy"), and yes, this is better than...
You're giving up quite a bit of power. A collector system is also far easier to tune on the car. BTW: fastest tuned length system for a single...
I see here that the people who didn't get it the first 500 times still want to believe that pop-rivets are legal. the owner is exempt And,...
Apologies - engaged mouth before putting brain in gear. My memory was "which brake of ONLY ONE would you rather have". Duh!
Wrong...Actually there was plenty on the cam core The lobe cannot be taller than the bearing journal, unless you saw the engine into chunks, so...
The QC was not designed for race vs. mileage, but for changing track conditions where the ratios would be close together. No point in having a QC...
The goal is, if any brakes lock in a "panic" stop, it should be the front brakes not the rears Nooooooooooooo! That's only a test to see how...
There is no friction shock that can "match the performance" of any hydraulic shock. The cheap hydraulic ones don't do it as well, and don't last...
hopefully they will help "absorb" a little of the "shock" No, they increase the amount of motion the chassis gets. The wheel motion is either...
the bank angle and all that technincal stuff is different ???? You mean the cylinder bank angle or the tappet gallery angle?
The 429 has much tighter bore pitch than the 472/500 and Ford 385 at 4.5625" (same as Chrysler 392, slightly smaller than Ford FE, Olds, Pontiac)....
