    David Vizard, 100 MPG Carbs, and Me

    Years ago I became aware of another MPGMike. The MPG for me is Miles Per Gallon. For the other guy it was MPEG -- as in movie format. He was a **** star. We had a fuel economy site blog at the time. He was absolutely disgusted by me ruining his "good name" on that fuel economy garbage. So...

    David Vizard, 100 MPG Carbs, and Me

    David Vizard is running a series on the 100 MPG carburetors. His 1st installment caught my attention, so I emailed him. Low and behold, I am now helping him with content for several of his upcoming videos. In installment #2 he spoke highly of me, even showed a copy of my head porting book. I...

    Post up facts and things that hardly anyone knows...... (for entertainment purposes only. NO need to fact check)

    You either get your wife or kid to work the back-office stuff on your phone. For me, it's my wife.

    Post up facts and things that hardly anyone knows...... (for entertainment purposes only. NO need to fact check)

    When I was a kid, Hershey's still used real chocolate. Don't blame the new formula on Milton. Side note, Hershey Pennsylvania is very much a theme town. There is Hershey Park, and the Chocolate Tour. Street lights are shaped like Kisses. They literally pump the smell of chocolate into the...

    Anyone else play Spider Solitaire?

    I play while eating dinner. Least moves on single suit is 99. Best time was under 3 minutes. Highest score was 51,200.

    Any Jeep folks here?

    The then all-new 1999 WJ Grand Cherokee got coil packs and a completely redesigned engine compartment lay-out. TJ (Wrangler) and XJ (Cherokee) kept the distributor until 2001.

    Any Jeep folks here?

    In 1996 the power steering pump brackets were changed, as was the belt routing. The water pumps spin in opposite direction from the '95 and older. Other changes, I'm not aware of. I added the '99+ "Horseshoe" manifold to my '95 and had to do some custom stuff to get the water pump spinning...
