    Identify coating on my 273 rocker arms

    Did you wipe it off the ball, or did the pushrod do that?

    Identify coating on my 273 rocker arms

    It's black oxide, and it's not factory. Edit, didn't see the adjuster. Does it wipe off the adjuster?

    I owe you all an apology

    I've been a dick through the years, to be sure. I'm trying to be a better person, and I'm trying to be that here as well. I've been kind of crappy to some of you. I'm sorry. I promise I'll do better and be better. That's genuine. So, whichever one of you told Youtube to start putting Scotty...

    Nominal DC Current Draw?

    Yeah, on 40-50 year old vehicles, there is no such thing. Fully restored with a new harness is about as close to nominal as you can get if you're measuring draw at the battery on a headlight system.

    440 Roller Cam suggestions

    I'm slowly gathering parts for my stock-ish RB440 six pack build, and I'd like to run a stock-ish hydraulic roller cam. I want a smooth idle, and I figure stock 440+6 power is plenty for an A-body. What kind of roller cam specs will compare to the OEM .450/.458 cam? I don't mind if it's a step...

    Saw my first Cybertruck during my drive into work this morning.

    Just like '08, the reality of EV's is setting in. There's a time and a place. They work much better in western Europe, but here in the US, they're impractical for lots of things. Tesla suffers from the Jurassic Park Problem: Just because they can, does that mean that they should? i.e...

    Saw my first Cybertruck during my drive into work this morning.

    I recently watched the drag race callout where they towed the Porsche and raced the other Porsche. Admittedly, they gave it a good run for towing another vehicle, but it also highlighted how much marketing and sneaking Tesla does. Musk is great about sensationalism and he is a mainly an idea...

    Saw my first Cybertruck during my drive into work this morning.

    I saw one Saturday. I, for one, love the Cybertruck. It's revealing Tesla for the smoke n' mirrors overhyped, over-engineered, under-thought trash that they are.

    Star Fire Coolant

    Where is it made? I generally don't buy the cheapest I can find when it comes to lubes and coolants, but a lot of people do and don't have problems.

    Hood clearance Question

    I'd also consider the three-nipple fuel filter as suggested in Mopar Action https://www.moparaction.com/2016/03/16/vaporware/ This allows fuel to cycle back to the tank, so the fuel remains constantly cycled with cool fuel from the tank. People forget that fuel filters can percolate fuel too.

    Hood clearance Question

    With the air gap, I'd consider running a fresh air line from the core support to the area under the carb, if I was that worried about it, but any heat soak issues you have are going to occur at slow speed anyway, where a spacer is of limited value in your configuration anyway. If fuel boil-off...

    Short Shaft Slip Yoke 727's in Old Airport Tugs?

    The trams at Worlds Of Fun in Kansas City had propane-fueled Slant 6's with short 727's. A buddy that knows what he's talking about (dart4door) has seen them. I don't know what kinds of yokes they used. When I was at R&R Salvage right before they closed, they had a dumpster full of 8 3/4...
