Went to a logging supply store and bought a large cable clamp, worked well and cheap too.

Never repaired a railway track. Did try some thermite for fun, burned through a piece of half inch mild steel plate. What really impressed me was how bright it was. It was tough to ignite but using a piece of magnesium as a fuse got it going.

Have painted cars, one panel at a time with a 3/4 hp unit but with a 30 gallon tank. One panel at a time is no real problem if you are doing non metallic. Had a neighbor that sprayed cars using a half hp comp. and a 50 or 60 gallon tank. Big enough tank, don't need a high hp comp.

My 69 notchback came with factory defrost. The two centre holes are outlets, the larger right hand 'speaker' hole is the inlet.

When i bought my 69 barracuda coupe the dist. was set at 5 degrees retarded, pinged a lot when advanced, turned out the heat riser valve was stuck on CLOSED. Engine temp.gauge showed normal, but the intake must have been very hot.

One thing i learned about snowmobiling, "never ride any further than you care to walk back from"

Pitbulls are bred for their strength and aggressiveness, so it's not hard to figure out

If you need a creamer ( or sugar ) in your coffee, you should change the brand/type of coffee. Took me 50 years to find how good coffee tastes.

Don't see anything about having to be an interior wall, so here is a picture of one of my garage exterior walls. My security device.

Great idea! My wife and i did that about 20 years ago in our 63 vart convert. Side trips to Santa Fe and the Meteor Crater were worthwhile also.

A 1953 Studebaker starliner coupe, sweet looking car but gutless performer.

Bought a K&N at NAPA once, made in china, last time.

Was told in training that the radiation from the FPN-36 GCA would make us sterile, got married a couple of years later and found that was not true.

63 vart.

thats not a diode in the picture, its a resistor, a bleeder resistor i believe.

You do it because it will run better. Closer to 15 degrees is what you want.

Why?

Bellingham WA Boundary Bay Scotch Ale.

Used to be that a 10 year old tire was "too old", now it seems that 5 years is too old, what's next? Who is behind this and is it official ?

Yes, when distancing is a problem. Not so sure about how effective they are when people are wearing homemade cloth ones or using scarfs and what about those that don't wear them covering their noses, are they boasting about being mouth breathers?

Just because the spec. calls for zero degrees initial timing does not mean that's optimal. When i had a slant six it was set at 7 at least and ran well.

If you are buying a K&N filter, check where it originated from as shown on the filter, not on the carton. Yes, maybe i'm being racist, but when i see the garbage that's going in our countries, so what?

Did the steering wheel on my 52 coupe with a Wheel Skins kit (1983 Mirada wheel) Looks good and not hard to do. Order it with an extra needle and cord so that you can do a "baseball stich" which i did not do and should have.

Bought a 47 Plym. coupe fixer upper that had a 400 in it. Used a lot of oil. Passed Air Care anyway. Pulled the engine and found the oil problem was mainly a used valley pan gasket. The rings all had at least .125 in. end gap at the bottom of the bore. All end gaps were facing the front, same...

Don't think your ring gap is too large. Had a 47 plym coupe with a 400 that I bought as a fixer-upper. Tore the engine down as it was using a lot of oil. All rings had a gap of .125 (1/8 in) and all gaps on all pistons faced to the front. Turned out that the oil consumption was due to a reused...

Used a Scarebird kit on my 52 Plym, works well, instructions could have been a little more detailed for a first timer like me.
