    Are all 273 V8's the same?

    The "T-Flight Patty" name comes to mind of the centering ring to make a small snout fit a 68 crank, but its only a 1/8 wall ring, nd it can be made (really!) by chopping up a few 1/8 drill bits and tacking them together in a ring pattern. Simce the crank and convertor turn as a unit, there is no...

    Aftermarket ignition ...do you really need one?

    Saw this from Chrysler Engineer Dave Zelkowski, had this to say about aftermarket ignition systems- "The ONLY thing they will do for you is lighten your wallet. If there is nothing wrong with the stock ignition components it won't help. If you have some old tired components then it could be a...

    electric bikes?

    I'm telling you they are like fat chicks: loads of fun to ride but you wouldn't want to be seen on one. No shame in my game!

    electric bikes?

    That's terrible, our slicks dont have AC outlets outside and are triple locked and alarmed. You do see a lot of Obama phones plugged into McDonalds outlets. One reason I quit going there..7 years ago and counting.

    electric bikes?

    Now my 9 year old wants one. I got a 500W E-lawmower motor and a 7/84 sprocket set off a race cart and his old 16" BMX bike....Hmmm? I kinda like that traction motor that hangs off the seat design.

    Dyson alien fan...

    The i button on the remote toggles through a bunch of particulate readings (NOx, CO, humidity, pollen!) for free, this thing rocks! We had it in our bedroom last night running in night mode (silent and dimmed display) and the room really did smell fresher. Still wouldnt pay $400 for it. and I...

    Best way to remove moisture and mold in car?

    dessicant really works well, so well that it will dry your hands right out if you dont wash up afterwords with a good bar soap. Moving air is good to prevent mold, Even a little PC fan pulling air through the cab during storage can help alot.

    Dyson alien fan...

    Dyson HP04 Hot + Cool filter fan. the ones that have a big hoop on top with no blades. For $400 this doesn't move alot of air but it does heat, and filter the air through 4 filters, 2 HEPA and 2 charcoal. My neighbor gave it to me instead of throwing it away as the motor was making a bad rattle...

    A friend hooked his coil up backwards...

    Always nice to get it to run! Now you just have to iron out the wrinkles.

    A friend hooked his coil up backwards...

    I just realized my '82 B2000 had the coil wired backwards. Weird that it would run at all but I put it back to stock and it doesn't run any different...I was hoping that would be the oh **** that was the issue, but its not. Still has a random miss and labors at mandated 650 idle. Only pulling 15...

    Info on FBO ecu unit

    I thought it was Constant Velocity Combustion Chamber? No matter, those little motors sung and ran great. We had a 2 speed automatic CVCC and you just mashed on the gas and it went...so simple. And it always started right up. Honda did alot of things right.

    Who drinks Malt Liquor?

    Genesee? ....$1.50 for a 24oz tall can at Grocery Outlet, a cut rate store that sells almost expired food. Had both, I think I like the BEER better, but both will do.

    China tach doesnt work

    Thanks! I got the specs all wrong off memory as I wrote this at work. Its actually a 100MHz (200MHz firmware update) Hantek DSO5102 with 1GSa/s sampling and 200MHz 1-10X probes. . This Hantek has an 'auto set' that seems to get about any wave form to show up on screen in a decent spread...

    Having a hard time measuring the frequency of my distributor lead to coil negative using a digital o-scope. Rigol 5120 ish 2 channel 1GHz rated scope. I hook up the lead to the negative side coil expecting to see a 40 Hz 12v square wave of the distributor sending the 12v to ground but I just...

    AMD sent me one for my 65 (it was a 63 but only the gasket style was different) for $78 shipped! Closeout I suppose.

    China tach doesnt work

    So do you think a genuine Autotecnica would have worked? This one literally sensed the RPMs then it dropped to zero when the motor was still running. Curiously, my dwell meter does the same thing, it senses the RPMs then drops, then pickes them up again in very short spurts but is not stable. My...

    it even had the Autotecnica logo in the face but it didnt light up when operating. I think it was a QC reject that got rebranded.

    China tach doesnt work

    Its in the trash. I kinda destroyed the case opening it as my curiosity got the better of me. I sent a 12v square wave in and probed the path and I got it all the way down to the NPN collector and then out the base. IT still didnt pick up the pulse off the coil negative so I bypassed all the...

    China tach doesnt work

    Found a zener diode that measured 13k both ways! It's a W8 so it's a 5.1v so I'll try and replace if I can find one. Is the voltage that critical? Kinda makes sense as I injected my square wave after this diode (seems to be part of the conditioning/protection chain: 2 diodes, 3 resistors and 3...

    yes the big chip is only the LCD driver. That little L6 is a 400-600 gain NPN. I can inject a square wave into the Base and pick up a reading.

    What do you suppose J6 (L6 on component) is? I actually get a reading when I touch the signal generator to this top leg and i trace it back to a via to a 10k resistor.
