the filler neck apparently is soldered or welded on. Which should I do? Thanks!

Elegant, purpose-built pax cars. For a tourist train, not overly pricey. Too bad about the style-free freight switchers up front. The Canadian LRC locos were very pleasing to see.

I am not very mechanical. but I made an extension for my linkage to my Eddie from 1/4" x 24 threaded rod. works perfectly. The 24 tpi is unusual, I think i cut off a bolt.

54? Henry K, from Kaiser. I have a photo somewhere...

i saw the Mriya (dream in Ukrainian) at The Farnborough Air Show. Aluminum overcast, darkened the skies over my house on final. Most amazingly, it turned around, on the grass!

Hawker Typhoon was the Brit Jug or A-10!

i have about 300h in a Hunter T7, the side by side trainer. Lovely old lady. I evaluated the F-16XL vs the Strike Eagle. F-15 won, based on load and range.

I had not heard the aerodynamic "golf ball" theory before. If true, why are ALL planes flush-riveted? The golf ball dimples induce turbulence, which causes the boundary laher to remain attached farther back, reducing friction drag. The tiny curved projections, 'vortex generators", on the top...

Jeff did you retire from the USAF? I flew fighters 63-93, Hun, Hog, Electric Jet, but my last real jet trip was 27 July 93, 1.9h in a BAE Hawk from Farnborough, solo, climb direct to 410, then 250 ft AGL, 420KIAS for a tour of the Lake District - low level maps had one-way arrows! for mid-air...

I too was flying on the am of 9/11, a Commanche 250 heading for a small airport just outside the beltway in MD. The first clue that something was amiss was Baltimore Approach telling an out-of -fuel 727 to land either at Baltimore, or...Andrews AF Base...Then he turned us over to DC approach...

I have the top and pad, but...will the pad fit? I think my original 63 did not have a pad, and my current 63 Fury vert does not have a pad, but the top was installed by an amateur. Help please!

Any info out there on proper code paint for the RWB front and rear emblems on my 63 SF ? Curiously, the original, 60y old front, round emblem paint is intact, but the rear, horizontal has badly worn colors! I can go to a hobby shop and match, but, I'd rather go original, if info is available...

Most excellent car! Nice man cave too! However, you must not allow the Assistant House Commander to put her washing machine near your Hemi

on the same topic, today's WSJ article relates that EPA has concluded that making fuel mileage standards more stringent would ...cost the taxpayer, and result in: 0.000% CO2 (= no measurable) reduction. The WSJ compliments their unusual honesty. You can't make this stuff up. Short smog story...

Thanks again! I would like the set of 906 heads for my "78 400, with valves and springs. My son lives in Redondo Beach. Next time I visit him I can pick up the heads from you. Payment details?

Thanks GTX. To further illustrate my ignorance...so... swapping the heads, same pistons, could raise the CR towards 10 or more? And which number heads would fit my 400?

Here in the Peoples Republic, Portland OR shops want $22-2400 to replace the top on my 63 SF vert. . No extra work; the mechanism is perfect. So... I think i shall try myself. Maybe with a semi-pro helper. Advice please! PS: Did all 63s use the stapling trim strips? The previous owner didn't...

Thanks! My car has a 400, not 440. Does your analysis still apply, to a 400?

i need to replace the top on my 63 SF vert. Prices here in Portland OR are astronomic. Any advice or help gratefully accepted!!

what does "bump" mean? All sold? If not, will any of these heads help my 78 400, CR 8.25? Raise CR to near or above 10? Thanks.
