You may want to confirm the bolt on those turbine wheels for us. They are 5 on 5" BC, correct?

FWIW, the word 'camber' is used to describe one of the characteristics of a fan blade - the arc. I've not heard it used to describe a leaf spring, but it certainly could. My big question is - if we're doing a nut & bolt resto on a car, why are we re-arching springs? A leaf spring gets flatter...

The clockwise-rotation fan is another indicator of engine rotation. (not a foolproof one, though) IIRC boat engines are reverse rotation only if installed in pairs, and then only one engine is reversed? Or is a single reversed also? FWIW - that engine-trans adapter is likely an SAE#1, and...

Yeah, that's exactly why I said that. Sometimes FABO, FBBO, FCBO, etc, are not good places to get good answers.

Not for long. Yes, they'll generate a lot of temperature, but not a lot of BTUs. Meaning, you get localized heat, but not enough to raise the temp of the whole system of fluid. And they'd likely lose torque capacity before long anyway. @pnora provided the best info. 'To cooler' will be the...

The additive package is *everything*" when it comes down to what the oil is intended for and capable of. (not picking at you Sixpactogo, I read thru this in one sitting and several other folks mentioned the additives also) An oil guy I worked with years ago told me about mixing oil - if you...

Another option - LEDs may not have the same output pattern to reflect off the taillight housing, so the lens-fill might not be the same. Might have hot-spots. The Sylvanias look like they might be that way, the 2nd one posted looks like it would do better. You won't know until you try them...

The engine came from a C-body - no 335 hp cam ever came in those cars. And the AC would've relegated it to 330hp in B-E body anyway. The driverside HP manifold will not be correct for B-E body, but maybe it fits anyway? The rear-dump B-E HP manifold seems to fit some C-body installations. The...

The ring will change the resonance frequency of the DS, and was likely to alter/avoid a resonance in the driveline in a particular vehicle under particular operating conditions. Those conditions would likely be potential for resonance, and not every identical car would experience it. Heavier...

Yeah, and I see the joining date is the same as the thread date.

If you're selling one car and assembling this 400 to use in car #2, then going to spend the car sales money taking this 400 back out to stroke it for car #2, sound like you are expecting it to take a long time for your $25k car to sell? Or - you are setting yourself up for too many projects...

This thread is an excellent example of going to/fro on accurate information. Sometimes an accurate thought is rendered inaccurate due to omission of a single word. Sometimes a statement, posed as always true, is inaccurate because in one set of circumstances it isn't true. And sometimes some...

Selling parts individually brings the most revenue, but you'll have a lot of time researching each part, to learn what is valuable and what isn't. Selling as a lot might bring a guy doing a resto who might pay a fair price, or might bring a re-seller that will give 10-20 cents on the dollar -...

Related to that: When I built my 24x30 detached garage, I located the 16ft overhead door about 18" from the LH wall, and the service door was around the RH side, on the side wall. The builder asked why (he was going to center the overhead door, of course). I told him the car on the left would...

You're either going to get zero responses, or a lot of people wanting you to text pics and then not be interested. You should update the pic above.

As you decided to pass on them, what was the askign price? Not that it matters much now, but I see some pitting that would've been a challenge for a professional polisher. Meaning, they need to do a good job to preserve their reputation, so pitting takes extra effort/techniques. For a home-brew...

Which one's a good cam? The 10230703 he was told was in it, or the 10230700 that is actually in it?

That electronic equipment was worth about 5k before it hit the pavement at highway speed.

I have had good luck welding a large bolt into the fitting, leave it standing a little tall and do the weld underneath the hex of the bolt. But this is also one of those tasks that I don't think the same technique worked more than once. :(

That really sucks, Bio. For the electric fans on your RR, you could mount them to the front of the radiator, sans the box shroud, until you figure out a more permanent solution. (I presume you wouldn't want the big elec fan visible thru teh grille) Fans are usually designed to be either a...
