....and that "going for a ride" doesn't always end as one expects, either. :o:(:(**)

The dash looks like you took a piece of 3" thick walnut and started carving! Very nice grain flow, and they did great on the clear coat, too. Gonna look great in place - just don't forget and try...

I agree 100%. I took a class in college, Internal Combustion Engines, and one of the things we learned was that at a given timing setting you get the most power and highest efficiency with the...

Jerry, I did not know that about Keith Black. I do recall that he was one of the strong runners back in the day, and that's why we remember his name today.

For some, Jerry, it's a matter of being prudent in understanding any limitations that may exist for the components that were selected when the engine was assembled by someone else, and not being...

Like Dave says, it's easy when you're playing with a Spark Map, just boxes on a chart! My limit came from the fact that I have KB Hypereutectic pistons, and KB puts a 36 degree limit on timing for...

Mike,
I somehow missed that you got the engine running with the cross flow fours! I really like the look, and the air cleaner sitting at an angle is going to draw attention to that manifold. The...

What?? Building a new tool shed, Mike??

What I don't understand is how this "frequency feedback" travels without a complete loop. At 75mph your fan is not needed, and the thermostat/controller would be open, eliminating the path for 12v...

Let's see, you're sayin' I can buy a Prius or Volt, mount a bunch of electric fans anywhere they will catch air going down the road and I'll have a perpetual motion machine that runs off the...

Are you thinking of a flyback diode - Flyback diode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia From what I see the diode is there to protect the contacts in the relay from arcing, not from pushing power...

I'm thinking an intermittent ground problem, a battery going to ground or an alternator getting crazy. I can't buy the motors acting like generators.

Going to look fan-freakin-tastic!!

So Mike, are you speechless??:LOL::LOL::p:LOL::LOL:

Dave, those are some very nice tree pictures you have, but I was referring to Mike's busted bunch, here - http://www.clubhotrod.com/hot-rod-lounge/52650-how-i-spent-my-saturday-2.html#post487052

:LOL::LOL:Hey, when Randy's right he's right!! A picture or two showing the interference would have been a great addition to the post, but yeah we're starved for entertainment. :rolleyes: Heck, we...

Gotta agree, Randy....

Mike, here's the link -http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raframecatalog.php?carcode=1333381&parttype=7108 All but one have a $30 core charge built in, so they're not cheap.

Maybe something like this, with a Pertronix kit? Rock Auto, 1965 Ford 289....

Mike,
I've said several times that the Mallory unit I'm running is a special build, commissioned by Edelbrock to get the lowest overall height they could get with a fully electronic distributor. I...

OK Mike, first I have apologize for the grunge & grime in these pictures, but the car's headed into the shop for some fiberglass work so I didn't take time to detail the engine :o As you can see, my...

Mike,
Dave may be right! Seriously, one thing you didn't mention to the Summit guy is that you get to pay the shipping both ways on every one you order, and that runs into some bucks these days! ...

Sure, but it will be Tuesday/Wednesday before I'm back where I can get it for you.

Yeah Mike, we're saying the same thing but from different directions. You're considering running at cruise and going to WOT, where the vacuum drops out and it "retards" back to the mechanical curve;...

So this talk got me thinking (may be dangerous ;):LOL:) that in my old days I never messed with a distributor that didn't have vacuum advance, and now everything I mess with is total...
