    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...

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

    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.

    MSD ignition with ballast resistor

    Because the capacitive discharge and multi-sparks take a lot of electrical energy, and the ballast resistor restricts it too much. That's my guess.

    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...

    Add anything made by Jameson. I use their blackberry brandy (ABSOLUTELY not fit for human consumption) to soak my smoker wood. Makes an awesome chunk of meat, but PLEASE DON'T ACTUALLY DRINK THIS SH!T!!

    The GM Iron Duke 2.5 which became popular in the '80s in their FWD platforms had been sitting outside since the '60s on stacked pallets. It was common to have a brand new vehicle come in with nasty rust in the coolant system.

    Any Jeep folks here?

    I use 4X4 only when road conditions demand -- period! I don't go off on trails, mud bogging, and I am building what I want for an ultimate street SUV. BTW, I have a '95 Jeep GC, high compression (10.2:1) 4.6 stroker, and am tuning a stand-alone ECU. Got it running awesome on 87 octane...
