    Was your dad a gear head or no?

    I come by my mechanical skills and interests naturally. Dad was a car guy even though our family vehicles were mostly pedestrian models - I remember a long line of Ford station wagons. He would talk about his high school car (late 50's) from time to time which was a '55 Crown Vic. He had...

    What have you broken while out hot rodding your car?

    All these happened on my Satellite shortly after putting it back together. Broken motor mount. Worst part was that it happened when I floored it while making a left turn and the PS return hose pulled off when the engine rocked. Mostly just made a mess under the hood, but losing power steering...

    Anyone still have their High School ride?

    I didn't really have a high school car, but do still have the 1st car I bought. Got it after college in 1987. Everything I drove before that was owned by my parents. .

    Jobs that you FAILED at before finding your way in life....

    I worked a lot of different jobs from middle school through college - cut grass, cleaned offices, bagged groceries, waiter (at a coffee shop in Japan), roofing, shop work running a drill press or pipe threader, loading trucks, probably a few more. Some lasted a few years while other times I only...

    WTB 915 or 516 heads

    I have a pair of 915 heads that have had some porting work done. It's been a while since I've looked at them, but I think they are non-hp heads that have also had the exhaust valves opened up to hp specs (1.75"). I bought them that way and have never done anything with them.

    How to make a better home cooked hamburger ?

    80/20 beef is best for burgers as recommended above. Too lean meat has little flavor and they dry out. I like to cook mine on the grill, either gas or charcoal. Usually gas because it's faster and easier. Salt and pepper before cooking. Sear 5 minutes per side on high heat with the lid open...

    Let's talk more about garage door openers.

    I have a Chamberlain belt drive - 1/2 hp I think - on a 9' double door with hurricane reinforcement so it's a heavy door. Lifts it without any problems. I had to replace the belt after about 10 yrs - it started skipping because it was eating the teeth off the belt. Not bad for south FL heat...

    Dakota on the left with his sister Daisy. RIP to both. They were great dogs and very different even though they were littermates.

    Mancini LCA pivot shaft problems

    Unfortunately, I didn't notice the ends weren't beveled until I had the problem otherwise, I would have hit it with the grinder first. I tried to press on, literally, but it broke the piece of pipe I had over the threaded section of the shaft that I was using to press it onto the bushing.

    Mancini LCA pivot shaft problems

    I am going through the front suspension on my 67 Satellite. The threads on one of the LCA pivot shafts looked a bit boogered so I bought new ones from Mancini Racing, p/n MRE2808579. I went to install the. Bushings today and ran into a problem. Pressing the bushing onto the shaft is usually...

    Held at gun point because of the HEMI 426

    NHRA Gatornationals will be in Gainesville that weekend. Garlits is usually there. We'll be there too. We went to the museum one year when the races were rained out. Big Daddy was there. My wife and her friend got their picture taken with him. He's a really nice guy. The museum is cool too.

    U.S. postal keeps going down hill.

    I bought something online from a company in Miami - 2 hrs south of me - just before New Year. Shipped right away via Priority Mail. Tracking showed it arrived at the local distribution center on the 29th then no updates for over a week until tracking showed it was in New Hampshire. I started...
