    100 yrs ago today. Robert H. Goddard (1882–1945) an American physicist and engineer known as the father of modern rocketry, successfully launched the world's first liquid-fueled rocket on March 16, 1926.

    I'm getting close to switching to a roller cam in the big block!

    Not being familiar with those rockers is the hole in the top of the 1.5 rocker to oil the roller for the valve stem, and if that is the case does the 1.6 rocker have a hole to lube the roller on it. Just wondering.

    Car falls on guy outside auto parts store, police bodycam footage

    I remember about 1992 working in the hangar here in ATL a young kid hired on and was working on the sheet metal crew in heavy maintenance. Some of the older guys said he was good at sheet metal and they were teaching him well as he was a good kid. One day he didn't show for work and they...

    I'm getting close to switching to a roller cam in the big block!

    That's funny because if you go to Comp Cams web site and pull up his cam it shows the exact same paperwork as I have for mine: https://www.compcams.com/xtreme-energy-236-242-hydraulic-roller-cam-3-bolt-for-chrysler-383-440.html The lifters say 3/4-1 turn. The Evolution TM Hydraulic Roller...

    I'm getting close to switching to a roller cam in the big block!

    Seems pretty simple to me to find out how much preload the adjuster will give you. Bottom it out and set your caliper on it and measure to the rocker surface. Screw it out one turn and measure it again. There's how much preload one turn will give you. According to the paperwork I got from Comp...

    Went to the show in Indy last weekend. There was a very good turn out, with lots of vendors. Indy cylinder head said they were changing things up this year. They just brought a few things for display, but had a deal going if you wanted anything they had. They had 15% off for the show and free...

    2026 16th Annual FABO NHRA "Pick 'Em" Game - New Tracks, Lot's of Team Changes, Here We Go!!!

    Tony, Leah and Matt all ran god the first round and then they all got beat by a hole shot in round 2. Probably taking turns kicking each other in the *** after that. Vandergriff made Prock look bad in his first race. Put my money on Prock in that furd, and won't do that again. I think GA is...

    How do you eat your chili?

    We put grated cheddar cheese on top of ours in the bowl, and mix it in. I'm like Hey-O I have peanut butter on Ritz crackers with mine. I remember going to school we would have chili for lunch and the cooks would cut up blocks of cheddar to have and make peanut butter sandwiches to go with the...

    2026 16th Annual FABO NHRA "Pick 'Em" Game - New Tracks, Lot's of Team Changes, Here We Go!!!

    Looks like JFR hasn't lost anything with the change to Josh Hart in TF. 3.658 @ 340.3 Our boy Branden Miller isn't qualified with a 6.602, but he's is only out by .009 right now. He's 19 out of 21, and G Anderson isn't qualified either.

    1979 727 Valve Body Question

    Seems like that is questionable as my 74 trans (by part number) that's in my GTX doesn't have that ball and spring in it.

    1976 RV 440 to go into 1968 Charger

    Get lots of penetrating oil for the exhaust manifold nuts and start soaking them down as soon as you can. If your lucky they will come loose like mine did. I was in no hurry so I soaked them about every other day for a month and they all came off with no issues. I would soak the alternator and...
