The is one AND a fire blanket in all of mine now.

I run the stock Prestolite distributor triggering a 6AL. It will spin the Hemi to 7000rpm (rev limiter) no problem.

My solution, although not for everyone is to keep the points, used to trigger an MSD (hidden in my applications). Works great with giving some redundancy if the MSD fails, although I personally have never had one fail.

"Do you still get any car magazines?" Is there any?

Some good information here for sure. I have numerous dry chems throughout my home and shop, but my bad for not having one in my cars. Some of the comments regarding spreading fuel fire are accurate. Having worked many years in a refinery, and being sent to industrial fire school for pertinent...

Sorry no photos of this. Didn't feel right to take photos of this couple`s misfortune. When a local charity car show was winding down yesterday, a C3 Corvette parked near me experienced a back fire and carb fire when starting up to leave. Once the hood was up to see what the problem was and the...

A little preamble or rant. This all started when I wanted to treat myself to a new pickup now that I retired. Being a stickler for a manual transmission, that didn't leave me many options, a Toyota Tacoma or a Jeep Liberty. In support of Ma Mopar I went with a new Jeep Liberty (3.6 6spd.)...

A bit related and falls in line with the "Bat **** crazy neighbour" post. A few years back when the a-hole next door had annoyed me enough I had a 300', 6' high fence installed. The whole time the fence contractor was performing the task (along with the police in attendance to keep a-hole at...

I have both an Advantage and a Wildfire 4 post lift. Picked both of them up at the nearest freight depot with a U-Haul rental car trailer. I assembled both by myself with the use of my engine hoist, rigging and blocking.

My very first car was a '68 Coronet 500. Black with red interior. Original 383 4spd car. Wish I still had it today.

Insurance drone flyover? Nothing a 12 gauge can't fix. And, if it happened to be a drone smuggling guns across the border, bonus windfall.

Awhile back, while I was waiting for my wife's Subaru at the local dealer, (she has two, a supercharged 2013 BRZ, and a 2023 WRX) I watched the dealership technicians testing an apparently problematic driver's aid setup by driving the car at about 30 mph toward the cardboard cutout of a car...

I purchased a Vevor unit about 3 years ago. Don't remember the size, but it is large enough to clean carburetors, which is the intended purpose. Quite happy with it. Cleaning solution varies depending on the task. Yes, it is Chinesium, but I have had no issues with it. NOTE: When purchasing one...

I am in S.W. Ontario, so not quite the same heat load as you, but I will see 100 deg.f days in the summer. My shop is 26' x 48' with 10' ceilings, very well insulated. I have a 24000 btu Mitsubishi unit for cooling only. It is more than enough capacity and I only utilize it in the humidity...
