    Update on Fuel Vaporizer...

    Think that is good, the next generation is a huge leap. The Skyactiv really works, a zippy engine too. I have 4 years of great driving experience. Going to get one of these in 2020. MAZDA: NEXT-GENERATION TECHNOLOGY

    Update on Fuel Vaporizer...

    Just put patent pending on your product. I hate to update you about modern direct injection fuel technology, and controls, on 13:1 compression 2L. My off the shelf Mazda3, with Skyactiv engine gets 36+ miles per gallon on 87 gas, driven hard, and meets ULEV specs.

    Update on Fuel Vaporizer...

    A patent does not make you money, it makes the design public. If someone uses the patent to make the device, you are the one that finds them, takes them to court, and proves they infringed. Big pockets needed for that....

    Canyon Carver project?

    Wide tires may cut into mpg. Back in the early 70's, my 66 plain Jane Dodge Coronet w/3 on the tree /6, consistently got 25 mpg on highway. Drove it hard and fast too. With today's gas subtract 10% from that. I get low 20's on 66 273 Barracuda with today's gas.

    You guy's with red poly bushings.

    When you get my age, you might find that polyurethane turns to dust. I have a few examples.

    As usual, "I lost the title" but you can get one

    Del, You need to save that thing. Add an aluminum slant 6, EFI, might get 40+ mpg. Beware, I think I see poison ivy.

    Jay Leno's Hemi under glass rollover!

    I doubt Bob drives much with a passenger. The weight distribution changed enough, what was possible with driver only, was not possible with Jay.

    The Idea!!!!

    My daily driver is a brand x. It gets an easy 35 mpg in town and 42+ on the road. It has a 14:1 compression ratio, yet has great manners. It is direct injected, dual variable valve technology, 4-1 exhaust, and 6 speed. I save my Barracuda for shows and cruise night.

    Fuel Mileage facts

    Save the A, by a Mazda3. The 155 HP engine gets 40mpg. The engine and 6 speed auto transmission has been engineered to be efficient. High compression, dual variable valve timing, direct injection, and tuned exhaust.

    Afb carb restoration

    One possible problem is sealing the pores in the carb casting. When the carb was first manufactured, the casting underwent an impregnation process using a special sealant and vacuum process. The proces filled microscopic voids in the metal. With age, repeated cleanings, and the corrosive...

    93 Ramcharger help

    Read the engine codes via MIL light. Usually done by on and off of the ignition, then 3rd time leave on and count blinks. Count blinks, separated by longer pauses. Not sure about 93, seek info in user manual. Codes can often be found online, and are fairly standard for Mopar.

    Cool Jay Leno Turbine car video

    In grade school a boys dad was a test driver. I remember my dad pulling along side it at a stop light so we could get a good look. I saw it a few times. I also remember Danny talking about going to Indy 500, and seemed to have a great interest in cars. They moved away, I lost a friend. Jays...

    Timing is this possible?

    I static time engines, and find being with a couple degrees or better is typical. There are a couple tricks involved. When setting carefully turn crank to desired position, do not reverse, or there will be a bit of slop exposed from chain or timing gears. The other is to check rotor is return...

    Dodge daytona help needed.

    I am wondering how you know the miss is on #1? If timing light blinks are not consistent, then it is ignition. Otherwise it is likely the injector. I seem to remember the injectors are hard to get to because the intake runners cover them. It may necessary to pull the manifold.

    Dodge daytona help needed.

    The 3.0L has a crab cap! The inner rotor terminals are rerouted in the cap and appear at different external plug wire terminals. Caps fail, and plug wires can easily be at wrong locations unless you follow manual. The distributor uses a fine pitch optical encoder, dirt or age may lead to...

    I think you need to first crop the picture, then resize. Windows often has microsoft office picture manager. There may also be tools that came with scanner or cameras.

    to err is human to forgive is divine

    Forgiving an error is easy. Forgiving a malicious bully is hard. I worked for a boss that was corrupt and lacked ethics. I took the easy way out, and left for better out of state position, never to see him again. It was hard for me to forgive myself by not taking action sooner.

    Hug your A-Body today, carnage inside

    Sorry for your loss. There are arc fault circuit breakers that work for what happened. They detect sparks as well as current overload. I am posting because few may know they exist.

    Help! Alternator/Voltage Regulator >:[

    If the battery measures 12.3V with the car off, that is good. It should read close to the alternator voltage when running. If not then the problem is in the alternator or battery cable, or connections. It is possible to use the meter to find the problem. If you measure voltage drop more than...

    Coonhounds......

    Try sign language. Come is "reach your arm out fingers up palm towards you, pull in , fingers down then pat your knee once". Sit is "down motion with flat hand, palm down". Try being silent. Be calm. Think clearly what you want your dog to do. Expect him to do what you want.

    35 MPG Duster

    In the mid 70's I was able to get consistent 25 mpg with a /6 and 3 on the tree 66 Dodge Coronet. I advanced the timing some, added CDI ignition, and replaced the air cleaner top with a piece of Plexiglas. I also did the same with a 273 2-barrel 66 Barracuda with auto trans without...

    GM person about tomake switch. 73 dart sport Questions

    I would think 5K is a good deal. Get a good alignment. The caster and camber are done with eccentric bolts on the upper a-arm. The setting are inter-related and take some fiddling and patience to adjust. Caster that is not even side to side may be responsible for the drift feeling even if all...
