    What's the clearance to the fenders with that setup?

    I made a small block low mount alternator bracket

    Same could be said for the stock mounts. I appreciate the explanation about moving it away from the heat. I was more engaged in how the mounts were made, and not as much as I should've been in reading the text. I do like the idea of a lower coG.

    RANT-It never fails/par for the course

    At least they didn't pull the Mopar Action and renew you and then dry up and blow away

    Cheapest way to tow my car- Truck Rental?

    300 miles? Call AAA, get the Premier plan. It's usually less than $100/year. It includes five tows, one of which is up to 200 miles. Tow it to a shop 200 miles away, then drive it five miles. Call em and tell em it quit again and use one of the 100 mile tows for the rest.

    Cats on TTI exhaust system

    I've considered running catalytic converters on my Magnum Dart. I like quiet and there's nothing wrong with clean if it doesn't hurt performance

    Mechanic shop repair story

    If he'd said he was trying to replicate it under load, that's one thing. If my truck was that clean and the guy scratched my bed up, it's gonna cost him a lot more than a rental would have

    Cleaning Automotive Glass

    The last couple windshields I did, they were hazed and I'd clean 'em and they would haze again. I think it's something evaporating from the Chinesium gaskets, which I can smell breaking down, whereas the old gaskets didn't smell hardly at all. It seems to collect visibly in the corners but...

    Cleaning gasket surfaces

    I tried that. This stuff was...different. I tried scraping it with the blade held vertical and it did remove some stuff but it folded the blade over immediately. I tried scraping it with the blade down low and it just slid over the stuff. Ma really wanted that Neon head sealed lol It's a...

    Cleaning gasket surfaces

    Now you tell me. Since I haven't turned the motor over, I was going to flush the cooling system with running water while I have the water pump off and dump a gallon of diesel down the head oil drains with the drain plug out. I can't see how much of that could make it to the mains with the oil...

    Cleaning gasket surfaces

    I have one and can vouch, they work great! The issue was if I pushed hard enough to get everything off, the carbide was sharp enough to scratch the block, and I didn't need that headache I will look into this! Thank you! Never even crossed my admittedly weak mind. Thank you!

    espo, bad news for some.

    Thank you for taking the time to clarify. I reached out for a quote and SOMEONE took time to reply after hours on a Friday night. Once I figure out what I need, if you have it, you have my sale.

    Cleaning gasket surfaces

    I recently acquired a Neon that has broken a timing belt. I had the head surfaced, and was cleaning the remnants of the coating from the old MLS head gasket off the block. This stuff was like baked on carbon. I finally resorted to a Scotch Brite pad to get everything clean. I'm concerned about...

    A DEAL SURE AIN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE

    I was talking to this hot chick at the bar, and asked her if she wanted to go out next Friday night. She said 'sure!' so I left her at the bar and went home. Next Friday came around, and she was dating some other guy! The nerve of some people!

    make 225 sound better?

    Sorry, that was an AI generated response, and I asked it to translate it to 'hood rat'. It would sound neat. Six into six, by firing order, would have a unique and interesting sound if the pipe exits were in a row under the rocker panel

    NOT A PAINTER

    It's the DA. It is pulling the paint off the corners as it rotates. Hand sand, only, in the direction of the fins.

    EFI diagnosis/ engine stumbles at 1/2 tank .

    Single stumble or persistent? Steady throttle or on acceleration? Under 1/2 tank, it stops stumbling?

    Does anyone here dabble with real estate?

    Those pricks are moving to Georgia next. If I was you, I'd tell everyone your state is full, the weather sucks, there's meth in the water, and everyone has herpes on their fingertips.

    Does anyone here dabble with real estate?

    It's NONE of what's posted above. It's the location. The pricks that live in 99% of those houses are not native Colorado pricks. They're pricks from California that were poor, Looney Toons pricks living in some 600 sq. Ft. California shitpile that they bought in the '80's for $100k that the...

    For those curious. My bill for my short block.

    I've spent a lot of time in Holland for work. I'm going to look into this Bingo. If the work is RIGHT, that's a great way to do business.

    Pinging B$@&%@rd 440!

    Aluminum conducts heat better, so they're less prone to ping. They usually raise the compression in aluminum heads to compensate for that, actually. As far as your combo, have you done a plug chop to see if it ACTUALLY running lean? You're kinda guessing and throwing **** at it instead of...

    Collapsible Steering Shaft Demystified

    Where are all the people that replaced the pot coupler with a U joint at now? Vanished. Chrysler needed a telescoping shaft. They needed a tight fit of the parts for turning precision, but no restriction in the linear/axial dimension for collapsing. You can't have steel on steel, corrosion...

    espo, bad news for some.

    There is so much truth in that. Legacy knowledge is drying up. I've always wondered how many generations it took for the Egyptians to forget how they built the pyramids. My guess: about three. I think the place in Kansas makes them in house? I'm pretty close, I could visit them.

    espo, bad news for some.

    What's REALLY odd and doesn't make sense.... Espo is discontinuing what are easily the most popular spring products. E bodies. Mustangs. Performance springs.
