I noticed their web site is "closed". Does anyone have additional information? Thnx

there are models that have front and rear. Ton's of features. It's not a bad idea for insurance reasons. "Picture's worth a thousand words"

Back in the late 1990's a clerked for a municipal court judge so I could study for the bar. I wanted to work in the Bell Labs patent office (it was about a girl LOL). At any rate,I had a ringside seat for traffic court in three towns on the Jersey Shore. When the dust settles, the State Police...

Just saw that Joe Elmore, one of the hosts of Horsepower TV has passed away at the age of 80.

Dr Arno Penzias Phd has passed on, He was known for his discovery of the source for background microwave radiation which led to the accepted "big bang" theory. I had the honor of meeting Arno during my career at Bell Labs in NJ. The radio telescope/transceiver stands outside our old lab building...

I spent a lot of Christmas' deployed overseas. And the one thing I've learned is being alone is better than wishing you were alone

Finally buttoned everything up and went for a road test. (new role at work side tracked me). It started out needing the clutch replace (debonded after some hard use) I have a new Passon 5 speed, so I figured, this the time to upgrade. Well old cars are full of surprises. It had a #2468372 bell...

If it's the numbers matching 383, store it on an engine stand and have fun building whatever pleases you. A 440 block with a stroker kit and decent aftermarket heads will easily get you 500+ hp.

Yes. I put a dial indicator on a small magnetic stand and torqued the bellhousing. I read under .001" for the bearing retainer so my OCD kicked in and I checked with my tenths indicator. It has .0006" runout at the 7 oclock position. The retainer ID miced to 4.808+. The dowel pins have a hex...

I used the full Borgeson kit with their pump. I burned my hand on the pump and thought I brushed against a header tube. If I recall, the infrared gun indicated close to 240 degrees Fahrenheit. I got this cooler from Summit and machined a small bracket, currently the pump body shows 175 degrees...

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to add a little fresh high temp grease and use it. As I mentioned, the winter project is to upgrade the motor

Hi folks, I finally got around to installing my Passon 5 speed. (bought it from a member, great guy). Life got in the way until I blew the clutch :lol:. This is my 1970 RR. Taking apart something that was built/modified 20+ years ago you have to expect some surprises. It has the 130 tooth...

I went with Dakota Digital for my 1970 RR. I still have the original cluster, however the Digital solved a number of issues. If it's not an "original" car or an exact clone, new technology makes driving a 54 year old car more fun.

Line honing and if needed, line boring is the primary step for blueprinting and engine. Everything else is relative to the center line of the crank.

Glad to see the animals are recovering!! A good friend lost his dog to antifreeze poisoning decades ago. I never forgot that lesson. All they have to do is step in it and then lick their paws. I really try to avoid doing the cooling system at home. When I have too, I put down a plastic tarp and...
