    NHL 23-24

    Yeah, I'm done with hockey for the season. I've always said this but the season is too long. No matter how far my team goes into the playoffs I have never liked watching games when it's basically summer. Regardless, it's pretty hard to win when you don't put the biscuit in the basket. Can't...

    Dave is a unique individual. One of my neighbors is a Bruins fan. He's been avoiding me lately. :poke:

    NHL 23-24

    Our top line has not shown up yet for this series, not sure what they're waiting for. Krieder is -5,(!) Zibanejad is -3, Panarin is only a +1. Vinny Trochek and Barclay Goodrow have both really stepped up they've been our entire offense these last four games. Rempe is +2 but that does not mean a...

    NHL 23-24

    Don't remind me! I can usually accept losing as long as the Islanders don't win either. We have as good a shot as any team right now so I'm cautiously optimistic.

    U-Haul car trailer experience?

    The trailers are actually decent, I've used them a several times. I have had it happen more than once where the ratcheting tire straps are totally trashed and/or locked up so just be aware of that before you take it. Rent it when you get down there so you're only pulling it one way. Like...

    NHL 23-24

    I tend to agree, he has been taking A LOT of dumb penalties and it's been frustrating to watch. I appreciate his toughness but you can't keep putting the team at a disadvantage with undisciplined play. Not very Captain-like! He should be taking Igor out to dinner for picking him up. I think we...

    Awful quiet in here. My favorite thing from last night’s game was after he scored his second goal of the night Sean McDonough goes What’s gotten into Barclay Goodrow???

    NHL 23-24

    Ranger-Panther game was draining, very relieved to have come away with the W. Rangers would have been toast if we had lost the first two in a row at home. We are really showing some grit this year, good to see. Winning OT games like that can turn a series though and the Panthers looked...

    Electric guitar...

    I always enjoy guitar threads on car forums. Gearheads are gearheads no matter what the discipline. I started playing in the '80s when I was a teenager so I guess it's around 35 years now. Truthfully, I'm a basement rockstar though and pretty much a total hack. I played in bands when I was...

    NHL 23-24

    Rangers played the Isles and Flyers last two games and have looked like a team just playing out the string. Despite the lack of effort, we still have the best record in Hockey right now so I'm not concerned. No need to go all out and risk injuries before the playoffs.

    NHL 23-24

    LET'S GO RANGERS!!! Cautiously optimistic about our prospects right now. I'm always afraid to open my mouth but honestly, I can't remember the last time this team has played as well as they are playing right now. We're not getting pushed around, we come back as if it's part of the game plan...

    any record (45/LP0) record collectors?

    I've been to Jerry's! You can spend a lot of time in there. Most anything of value gets picked up quickly so you'd be extremely lucky or willing to pay a lot to come out of there with anything special. I just logged in to Dicogs which I haven't done in a long time. I actually need to update...

    any record (45/LP0) record collectors?

    ^ Yep, go on Discogs and search away. It's all record nerds. Put your rabbit hole shoes on. There's also a function where you can list your whole collection and the program will give you an estimated value based on condition and desirability. https://www.discogs.com/

    Can an Engine run on an engine test stand with a Holly sniper FI unit?

    Dyno, yes. Engine stand, probably not the best idea. Modern dyno shops are equipped to handle EFI but an engine run stand is pretty basic and really doesn't have the peripheral equipment to facilitate it. Run stands don't put a load on the engine either so it's not really a true break-in. But...

    Efficiency....what methods do you use to make a job go easier?

    To answer the original question a little bit better - I'm definitely guilty of creating the snowball effect. Being a perfectionist/overthinker with textbook ADD does not help that trait at all. I can't replace/build/fab/restore something and put it into something that is dirty/crusty/rusty. No...

    Efficiency....what methods do you use to make a job go easier?

    I am the opposite of efficient but I'm not getting paid to do stuff in my garage so it's fine. My shop and benches are always a mess to the point where I can't find stuff if it's put away. When I was a dealership tech I had no choice but to be efficient. If there was ever a situation where...

    NHL 23-24

    My Rangers are playing pretty darn good right now while barely managing to consistently put it together for all three periods. Convincing W against the B's on Saturday though! Also consider we're been rolling without Adam Fox and Philip Chytl for a month and with the aged Jonathan Quick picking...

    The end is near for Hot Rod Magazine

    Surprising that any magazines are viable these days, the internet basically wiped them out. I used to enjoy going to the news stand or book store to buy a few car mags but I haven't done that in years. It has to be really hard for print to compete with instant content now. Stuff like the Drag...

    440Source "Stealth" heads, your experiences and opinions

    7 degree locks are probably OK if you’re using them in a milder application that is mostly part throttle operation. If you’re running a big roller cam with high RPM you’re likely beyond using those heads anyway. Sure there are instances where people push them to the limit but in those situations...

    440Source "Stealth" heads, your experiences and opinions

    Can't beat them for the price. Tons of builds out there with their stuff and most of the time people seem to be happy with their parts. Several years ago they would get bashed for this or that on the forums but they seem to have weathered the storm. Those heads fill a void for guys that don't...

    NHL 23-24

    My NY Rangers showed some guts last night against Arizona in a tight game that ended with a brawl. Chris Krieder is going to be third on the all time Ranger scoring list by the end of the year, totally under the radar as one of the top scorers the last two years. This group of Krieder...

    Remote Water Pump for Small Block questions

    I've had a bunch of Andy's stuff over the years. I'd bet he would have machined the backs of the fittings for an o-ring but I don't know for sure since as far as I can tell, he does not sell the adapter blocks. The blue -16 fittings you can get anywhere but they're obviously useless if there is...

    Remote Water Pump for Small Block questions

    I just remembered that Meziere makes this backing plate to use with their electric water pumps. In a way you'd almost need it or something like it. Not sure if it's thick enough to tap for pipe threads. If not, one would have to figure out how to seal whatever fittings you use to the water...

    Remote Water Pump for Small Block questions

    What car? Is this for a turbo or supercharger application? If not, then it's probably not worth the effort or expense. As an in between option, you could get an electric water pump which eliminates the pulley and belt. But to answer your question - perhaps the image below would give you an...

    NHL Playoffs 2023

    Well the Rangers survived another elimination game. Hopefully they will gain some momentum from that. They won two playoff elimination games last year so it's not a stretch for this group to do it again but they sure don't make it easy. I'll admit that I basically wrote them off after that game...

    NHL Playoffs 2023

    Honestly, they've had our number more times than I care to admit. They've always played a very defensive style by clogging the neutral zone but we seem to have found a way through it this time. I'm sure they will make adjustments to try and find more offense but their backs are definitely...
