It is designed to accept a signal from a VSS on a modern transmission and do some mathy things, then spin an electric motor to drive the...

    Let’s talk about the 8-1/4” diff

    This should be a fun little topic. I’m planning to do something most car guys will say is not very smart. So I figured I’d ask and find out how many of you guys are just like me, dumb. How much power have YOU successfully put through an 8-1/4 rear end? Not just cruising around, but actually used...

    Paging Mr Rat Rod. Mr. RustyRatRod your carburetor is ready

    @RustyRatRod I dug out the Weber that’s been sitting here at my shop for at least the last 10 years. It’s yours if you want it. I mis spoke when I said it was on a vw intake, this appears to be some kind of old triumph intake made by a company called Cannon. I have no recollection where I got...

    Cool old Dodge truck I’ve never seen before.

    Hey truck guys, is this a home made deal or did Dodge actually build these at some point? It was kinda cool looking but at the same time kinda weird. Sorry for the crappy pics I was driving.

    Small cam failure

    Went to the local rebuilder to pick up some pushrods and this was sitting on the counter. I thought it was interesting. No idea what it was out of but it was cool nonetheless. Small ha!
