Fwd: Ethanol Fuel ALERT FROM THE NAPetition to the Federal Government ( Re: Ethanol Fuel )

Morning World! I thank Ron for sending me this link, to sign a petition to keep Chevron 94 ethanol free. While it does not directly affect me ( I burn Aviation fuel), it sure does for most of you with performance engines, etc. This reminds me of when the lead was taken out of our premium in the late...

Re: The Great Rolling Dyno engine rebuild

Morning World! Thanks Owen, so glad to get it back,as nerve wracking as it was. In the past, I headed to Knox Mountain twice with a fresh engine, sweating the whole way that something might go wrong. Once it did when we had first installed the spray bar, tons of oil in the valve cover. On the Hope/P...

Re: The Great Rolling Dyno engine rebuild

"Open the pod bay door, HAL! HAL? HAL? I would have understood if my son in law Brody, had changed the lock and re-programmed the garage door opener. He has had 7 months of full use of his garage with my car gone. Kids bikes, mower, family stuff, all able to just hit the floor where they lay. ...

Re: The Great Rolling Dyno engine rebuild

Morning World, My heart is pounding right now, in 20 minutes I am off to get my car and drive back to the garage. Going to clean the interior, as I cannot get at it once in the garage, and then give it a good wash and wipe down on the outside. Looking forward to see how the wide band is at part thro...

Re: The Great Rolling Dyno engine rebuild

Hey Jeff & All, It was an amazing time in that early 70’s period, in what is now 50 years ago to 1973. I was 23, young and full of excitement as the Japanese car scene really started to bloom here. Finally it was not all British and Italian stuff racing. There were a LOT of BRE clones, running B...

Re: moar good videos :P

Afternoon World! Another of my miscellaneous ramblings here today, as I sit here at my desk, we are having our first snowfall of the season. It’s 1C on my porch right now and maybe ½” of wet snow and mixed rain. I hope all that are still on this site are doing well. As I contemplate getting my 510 b...

Re: Apex Engineered Rear Kit Issues

I must admit, as I watch those that have bought this kit...will it really help in the long run? Will it justify the cost once a setting is established? I set my Rear toe and camber 40 years ago...and have never touched it since. That is with the rear brackets that Andy made and have been copied for ...

Re: What did you do on your 510 today?

Hey Rheis, So good to see you still have the 510 and are lurking about! You have no idea how funny your post is to me today. Last night, I was going through some of the drive videos we did back in 2008, 2009, where your car had the broken oil sender issue, and then the wonderful drive to the Interio...

Re: What did you do on your 510 today?

I thought I would post this up today as the site is very quiet these days; the heyday of activity has long gone. I had promised myself that when I retired I would get all my writing into one binder, my 49 years of my work history in Precious metals refining gold into a binder..…and…put my entire rac...

Re: The Great Rolling Dyno engine rebuild

The Test Drive OH My God....it lives!!!! I was so nervous yesterday heading to the shop for the first test drive with the new motor. I had not driven the car since I parked it in the fall of 2021, so virtually 2 years. On arriving at the shop Andy had already installed the air dam and installed the ...

Re: The Great Rolling Dyno engine rebuild

Morning! I have thought of that, but, have not really felt like hacking up a carpet to fit over my shifter console or cover my Aeroquip line. Let alone no seats or rear interior which does not help either..I have worn ear plugs for decades, a tip that was given to me when I was hillclimbing. That ju...

Re: The Great Rolling Dyno engine rebuild

Morning World! Yesterday, upon arrival, Andy wanted to double check the timing. He has had, in the past, the drive gear on the distributor shaft actually spin, throwing the timing off. So, we fired engine and at one point, got zero degrees advance!!!?? To eliminate the gear issue he clocked the moto...

Re: The Great Rolling Dyno engine rebuild

Morning World. Arriving at the shop yesterday had Andy telling me the timing issue was sorted, nothing major, so that was VERY good. The carburetor issue still needs to be sorted, as it appears that the float level is ok. It keeps dripping even when the fuel pump is shut off...a high float level wou...
