    Precision Axle Bearings?

    Cass asked me whether I wanted Precision or Timken bearings on the axle. Unfortunately he hasn't got back to me, presumably he's busy, so I'm going to ask here. What's the difference? I've always used Timken. Before someone writes that Precision is Green Roller bearings, that is not what he...

    MP4 video editor recommendations ?

    Yesterday I tried out an old Gopro HD Hero (2010-2011). All of the runs recorded fine, although a little shaky due to the experiemntal mounting. I'm looking for suggestions for a video editor that can do the following: 1. Clip and save just the run, or even portions of the run. 2. Side by side...

    A public reading of the Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776

    Was the Declaration of Independence read on July 4 1776? The answer would seem to be yes. In this article Chris Coelho lays out the case which can be summarized as: 1. There's pretty good evidence the hand written copy brought to the printer on July 4th had diacratic marks on it to aid in a...

    Oil Pressure Gage and Sending Unit Revisited

    Got around to investigating the high oil pressure readings on the factory gage of my '67 Barracuda. Starting a new thread instead of sidetracking the original thread further... I tested the gage operation using resistors and compared with the information from @RedFish and others. Summary...

    Dayco Belts - manufacturing moved out of USA

    Just got a couple of Dayco replacement belts. Up until recently they were made in the US. Now they're made in P.R.C. Are they the same as before? Maybe. Maybe Not. But I'll be looking at the Gates cross reference list next time I buy.

    67, 69 Barracuda and similar early reverse lights

    Maybe this will help someone in the future. It involved a little R&R, but what I mostly wanted to share was the electrical grounding issue. The driver side reverse light on my '67 Barracuda wasn't working. Connector was getting power, and bulb was old but functional. Checking connectivity with...

    Lets Talk Open Barrel Crimpers - Reviews and Discussion

    Lets review and discuss crimpers for 'type F' open barrel terminals. For those not so familiar: Open barrel is when the gripping portion starts open. Pretty much all terminals in our cars are crimped to the wires with this design. Type F open barrel terminals 'wings' get folded onto the wire...

    Radio cleaning and pre-emptive cap. repair?

    I removed the top cover of the radio to do some light cleaning. So far just lightly brushing the dirt and vacuuming it up. And maybe that will be it. There looks to be a hairline crack on the 50 microF capacitor. Any idea what that is made of? I'd like to weld or epoxy that up - assuming...

    Airbrush or Preval for touching this up?

    When I had the header out I touched up the rust on the inner fender and discovered the spraycan mix was much grayer than the engine compartment. I still have the cans of acrylic laquer used in the engine bay from years ago - and other than settling, the paint seems good. Since I've got the...

    Glovebox service maintenance certification card - 1967

    How common is this? All '67 ? And only related 'cause I tossed in the glovebox at some point. I think this came off the column under the dash. Don't think its original. Car had an aftermarket A/C installed before 1970. Could have been from that work.

    100 cfm more with anular and downleg boosters can't beat AFR

    I was downloading some AFR data (road testing the logger setup) with a jetting change and it led to looking at some older dyno data. Long story short, the 750 cfm Holley currently on the engine was modified with annular boosters in the primaries and downlegs in the secondaries. However it never...

    Flare Wrench for Holley Inlets

    Years ago I saw a fuel bowl inlet wrench in a catalog that was a stamping. I wish I bought it. Never seen one since. One of the most annoying things with the stock inlets on 4150/60 carbs is having the inverted flare adapter move when removing the inverted flare nuts on the fuel lines. Yet...

    Feedback for deals that fail?

    @Joeychgo replied: Did you leave that member feedback? to @Oldmanmopar's statement that starting a thread about bad dealings was his only recourse. This is something that needs to be worked on. A. Correct me if I'm wrong, but we can not leave feedback on deals that don't happen. When I...

    Effect of Air Density on Carburation

    Posting this here because while I typed this out, the orignal thread went off track in a bad way and the mods locked it. Correct Sort of, indirectly. It has less density so less O2 molecules per volume. Less O2 per volume consumed means less available for burning. The depression is most...

    Brake cleaner (spray) & paint removal

    One of things I use brake cleaner for is cleaning up any spillage of brake fluid. So I was a bit surprised when it looked like the CRC non-chlor (green can) was removing paint. But I wasn't sure until this past Sat when I gave a quick washdown of the master cylinder after changing brake fluid...
