Got home today and received this Holley E85 tester from Summit. Spot anything wrong? Hint, notice the clear sticker. Summit is replacing it

Kudos on the helmet wearing, but without a proper headrest, it really also increases the chance of breaking your neck in a shunt. Neat car BTW. For those willing to upgrade, Sebring convertible seats are available in leather with built-in 3-point belts and are comfortable. I currently have two...

I bet he could sell pillows though.

Anybody here remember DOT 1 BF? Edit: a trick question somewhat I expect, in that there likely never was DOT 1 BF until they came out with DOT 2

It was internet bait, don't fret, most I expect are not secure enough to even broach the subject, which was, to repeat, most do not feel the need to mention they are straight, and I will follow my own beliefs on the topic, that I only use synthetic BF. :lol:

And most people also don't go around saying they are straight, to add a little color to this dilemma, and give a worthy analogy IMO. I discovered this only in the last 20? years, and that BF has been synthetic for almost my entire lifetime, it's only the recent marketing perk of simply...

Just to be clear, My Father's rust proof system he provided was definitely not "Ziebert", how similar it was I do not know. Ziebert was a topic of discussion, and not sure if its avoidance, was cost based or another reason. We are in South Florida, not aware of heat being any issue ever. As far...

I have read old undercoating sometimes contained asbestos, which is today a third rail in these discussions.

My Dad rust proofed customers cars. It was a amber clear waxy coating, it was applied inside as much as possible, doors, fenders inside rocker panels etc. One thing they did was drill 1/2" holes to gain additional access, which as kid concerned me, but they would plastic plug any drilled holes...

Nothing, but they rust, the plating wears off, rotating cone seats are rare, and they weigh more than Ti.

Yes, but the question is really what good? If they mainly stop the driver seeing in his field of vision the front fenders shake in hard driving, which likely undermines confidence in a cars chassis, then that is likely perceived to be good. I use the analogy of those that questionably striving...

Fair question. Seems many "vendors" are offering them online, could be made by only one? shop however, they mostly list the good grade of Ti, there are maybe 4 styles, closed end (not for me), reg lug nut, a tall which means to me only easier to get a socket on, as the threads appear to be same...

I'm building set pieces for a school play, "Annie" at Broward Performing Arts Center. Thanks for asking.:BangHead:

TI Studs make me nervous. What methods did you use to prevent ti-ti galling?

I am fan of anodizing, both for reasons of looks and corrosion resistance, but small batch cost has always been a downside. I also was not keen of the potential toxicity issues. It so far seems the most worrisome chemical involved is simply regular battery acid, and I been around that for many...

Care to share your experience and/or suggestions?

I suspect this is the wrong forum, but anybody here have any experience to share with Ti lug nuts, both good and bad?

There used to be a paint/body shop vendor pre covid that traveled the car show circuit. He was from NY area?. He had a tent full of various paints ad colors, etc at prices today would sell out on the first day. I bought a lot of material from him. My show attendance has waned post covid, but I...

My first concern would be with static electricity.

I just want to know how far that lathe would toss that balance weight shotput style.:eek:
