I refer you to the manual of ASTM Materials Standards and Practices for stainless steel alloys. It's physical and mechanical attributes are defined per application. YOU select which alloy you're interested in for comparison and it's operating conditions....then you decide....just my...

The subject and your opinion are strictly yours. I never liked precipitation hardened 17-7 stainless nor duplex alloy stainless. Depending on the temperature, pressures involved there are other more suitable alloys but at a higher unit cost. How about Inconel 601 or maybe even Alloy...

I have a job and a very good understanding of the ASTM listing of the various grades and alloys of the myriad of stainless steel available and their physical properties and limitations. Perhaps, you should take the time to learn about the different stainless alloys rather than criticize me...

You are correct......I have a lot more experience in selecting a working alloy that is relative inexpensive and readily available......to this end I'd select a 304L (18-8 stainless steel), perhaps 3/16" diameter coil wound on a form approximately 1/4" diameter smaller than the O.D. of the...

. I could speak of the various attributes of each particular alloy, in terms of its metallurgy, and physical properties but it sounds as if it's out of your understanding and comprehension........., and YES stainless steel will "rust" due to chloride corrosion........ BOB RENTON

Sometimes, but not often, I get sidetracked, or get inundated with unfounded (or founded) questions about repetitive issues, such as ported vs manifold vacuum, springs inside the lower radiator hose, 160 degree thermostats, Holley vs Carter vs Edelbrock carb is best AND which oil is best and the...

DIZZY.....Are we still talking about a distributor in a car or something else? And if a distributor, with or without vacuum advance and rate of advance?? The word dizzy seems to be used interchangeably....I'm confused..... BOB RENTON

"Stainless is forever"......but you don't say what grade of stainless steel is best? Is is austinetic (stainless with nickel in the alloy, such as 18-8 or 304, 309, 310, 318) or ferritic stainless (iron and chrome without nickel), such as 409, 410 stainless alloys or perhaps a high nickel...

I have a life....I teach a course on the basics of correct spelling....perhaps you would like to enroll?......btw....."dizzy" = distributor..... just a thought...... BOB RENTON

WHAT IS A. Performance World Biller Run Ready Distributor......or do you mean BILLET RUN READY DISTRIBUTOR.......perhaps you should stick to calling it a "DIZZY".......what ever that is.....?????..... BOB RENTON

I was just trying to inject a little facetious "humor". The torque on the tyre's valve stem caps can vary depending on brand and length of stem.....but depends on whether you're a Metric or US measurement person......but the correct value is: 17 inch/ounce or 4.3 newton/meters....or just...

The fix.......sell me the car, I'll fix all the miscellaneous gremlins......loose/corroded bulkhead connections (solder all wire/terminal connections), bad coil, bad ballast resistor, distributor pickup coil, vacuum leaks, overheating issues (with correct fan clutch, lower radiator hose with...

How about a link to their website....... BOB RENTON

Your banana needs little education.... BOB RENTON

The density of the air is cooler and contains more oxygen per unit volume and the engine makes more power. Conversely, in the desert south west when the air is hot, low abd density is low, planes take longer to get off the ground....... BOB RENTON

Incorrect assumption... Define cavitation....not impeller angle but NPSH (Ner Positive Suction Head) required in pumps design .Some pumps use inducers to prevent cavatation. Consult Goulds Pump Manual for an explanation..... BOB RENTON

Likely that the car at -30 would go faster due to increased density assume losses are constant. What's your interpretation of aerodynamic temperature change...or difference.....less equals more?.. BOB RENTON

Not necessarily so......Air is condendensed when it's pressure is first raised above its critical temperature then when it's cooled, it will liquidfy resulting in liquid air (all components), but must be stored under pressure. The reverse is also true...... BOB RENTON

YES.....you are overthinking the situation.......you are comparing an UNCALIBRATED, UNDOCUMENTED instrument panel display against ????....or are you just surmiseing or hoping everything is ok??....... BOB RENTON
