    Odometer reset thread question

    Problem solved. Turns out whomever worked on my dash before, did not make sure that the speedo lens/holder wasnt being fully seated, which prevented that speedo from sitting as far forward as it should, so thats why the reset stud wasnt coming through the hole.

    Spark Plug Advice Needed

    Hmm......So you're saying a car magazine did a test on spark plug leads and therefore they must know more than NGK about spark plugs? If only the worlds manufacturers of engine components with billions in research budgets and the sharpest minds could have access to your magazine pile..... So...

    [FOR SALE] 150 MPH Speedo for Sale

    Long story short, I don't need the speedo that I bought from Herbs/AMS so it is up for sale. It uses the later clip-in speedo cable, its in really nice shape, and they tested it before shipping to me. I haven't installed it, and the only thing I've done to it is repaint the needle fluorescent...

    How a New 426 Hemi/ 440 Wedge Block is Machined @ Energy Manufacturing

    10-12 hours of machining to take a raw casting to retail. I am going to guess that those machines are in the $250 an hour range, so that's $2500 to $3000 worth of machine work. This will help explain why a new block cost so much. Tom

    CNC Mill Mark Removal in Intake Port

    The problem with the DV Quote-bot, it is not in context, DV was stating that simply smoothing the surface of most as-cast heads results in very little to no gain...flow-wise...not that there is not a desired surface to increase output & decrease BSFC.... And screw the drag stuff, run a circle...

    Torque converter bolts?..

    You say that, but we used to have a tech at the Toyotee dealer where I worked years ago that was terrible about cross threading nuts and bolts. We just told him that was his form of locktite. LOL He was a young kid, maybe 19 at the most and still learning. Believe it or not. He was the lead tech...

    RRR, I will tell you why you do IDLE TIMING first..... You bolt on your carb, factory 12* of initial timing. You find the mixture screws are not adjusting the mixture; you are able to screw them all the way in...& engine still runs. You remove the carb & find too much transfer slot is exposed...

    Power steering gear valve question

    I understand that both hoses attached to it, but what I am asking is the adjustment sequence where the bolts need to be a little loose is that between the front and back section of the control valve or the control valve mounted to the steering box. Thanks again for your help and patience.

    Torque converter bolts?..

    Laugh as you may, but this is an area that you need to pay attention to. Just as there always critical areas you have to pay attention to on anything mechanical. If it takes 44 post to get peoples attention and get the correct bolts installed then so be it. There is not a lot of clearance...

    Spark Plug Advice Needed

    From the beginning of time, everyone I have ever known with any smarts has always, always, ALWAYS said Carburetor FIRST and then timing. Then usually zoom in on the carburetor after that. That's how I've done it a very long time and it's always worked well. Different folks do different stuff...

    Spark Plug Advice Needed

    On resistor spark plugs. Circle Track tested about 10-12 heli-wound plug wires that had different ohms per foot. The test was to see if resistance affected the hp. There was a small HP difference between the best & the worst, & the winner did NOT have the lowest resistance. That is likely due to...
