People assume that the sprag needs to be adjusted if not working. IMHO, it is usually because the sprag elements are worn out. The adjustment is not that sensitive.

Also keep in mind that the 22 gpm spec is at the maximum engine speed of 2600 rpm. You probably don't want to run that speed for long anyway.

You can replace the o-ring without taking out the flame heater injector. Take out the air filter canister and there is plenty of room.

Cut the guy some slack. Whether or not you him or his products, he is still providing a service to the SS market and competition.

I have installed two brands of kits. One was well designed and machined. The other was not. It had very rough machining. The drill used to bore the oil holes was done with so much force that the aluminum was mushroomed out the back. The hollow bolt head was too small and had very little...

I did my MS thesis on micromachined automotive gas sensors. Crankcase emissions are a SIGNIFICANT source of pollution and the positive crankcase ventilation system was the first emissions control device.

You don't have to remove the nozzle to replace the o-rings. Remove the lower part of the air filter canister and there is plenty of room. It is best if you have the o-ring ready as the parts can drop out. I had a piece of wire which I used to temporary retain the innards.

They are close enough, with a few minor changes, to use for a multi-powered truck as well. Not all have provisions for turnsignals, though.

I did this to my gas M35 several years ago. You remove your generator and regulator. Bolt the alternator to the generator's mounts. Screw the adapter cable where the old regulator was. Run the adapter cable to the alternator. Connect the alternator energize lead to switched power. It will...

I've installed two manufacturer's spin oil filter kits: westfolks and tie6044 (in the classifieds). They were about the same price. The tie6044 adapter appears similar to the JATonka and very nice quality. However, I was dissapointed with the quality of the westfolk adapter. The machine work...

I'm not an expert but I've spent years behind the wheel of a 302 powered vehicle. It IS popular with the vintage hot rod crowd because it competed with the flathead ford V8. As far as "tremendous" power..... Well, I would disagree. I has miserable siamese ports and four main bearings. There...

I have used 235 distributors with success. I converted my prior M35 gassers to civvy distributors and never looked back. You can keep it 24V if you use enough ballast resistors. You can convert HEI distributors to fit. Mallory also makes (made?) unilite and dual poiint disributors for that...

If there is 1/8" of slop, new bearings alone probably won't correct the situation. I removed a 2 to 5 thou of shims to tighten visuably noticable vertical play in the pinion.

Unless your pinion bearings are damaged, is there any reason that you can't simply remove shims to restore the preload? You wouldn't replace loose wheel bearings if you could simply tighten them up, would you?

Per another member's suggestion, I took a shim or two out. No more slop.

Has anyone really thought about this or is this just wild speculation????? You are taking a 12 Volt alternator and connecting it to a 12V battery. Why would it cause "MASSIVE" imbalance? This will improve balance.

It was a constant minor shake. I may have not noticed it if I hadn't another to compare with. It should be quite smooth.

I had a defective balancer causing a slight shake. It is not a big deal. A standard balancer puller just barely fits. I don't believe that thread sealant is necessary on the balancer bolt as it fits into a blind hole in the crank. The more likely path is through the keyway.

The front oil seal rides on the balancer, not the crankshaft.

These threads come up every week. Guys, your neighbors are entirely within their rights to expect that the law is upheld. Childish retribution will only get you in further trouble, make you look like an idiot, and hurt your cause. Focus on changing the ordnance (or your preferred interpretation).
