    A/C Vacuum Source?

    Nope can't get one there either. The reason you get vacum out of a gasser is cause it has a throttle plate to restrict flow. You'd have to install a stand alone vacum pump, either electric or belt driven. I've not heard of a A/C system that used vacum???? Today's cars typically use a stand...

    Why wouldn't this work?

    The drum I used was a resovior tank for a farm well water system, and no removable top. From what i was told it was supposed to hold 14 psi on it. I run a regulated 15-18 psi on it, I get about 12 psi out before the last filter. I would think if something were to burst on mine it would be the...

    Anyone repaired a radiator?

    The place Artisan showed was out of buisness, But my in-law lives close and commutes to Va every day and stopped at Roy's Radiators on 460 and they quoted $85 for a good cleaning and fixing any problems. So it's come out and go to them next weekend!

    Lifted Deuce NO NO!

    ?????? I gotta call BS on that one. Rotations are necessary to keep the wear corrected, reduces noise, and tire induced pulls. And Xing the tires are a common enough practice just one example the rear axle isn't reducing the amount of chop on the tires Escapes were horibble for this at one time...

    Anyone repaired a radiator?

    Thanks everyone for the input, I'm going to check the shop that Artisan had looked up (thanks) and see how much their estimate is and go from there. I don't think I'll try to solder the joint myself, worried about unsoldering other areas.

    Anyone repaired a radiator?

    Hey ya'll, I've got a slight coolant leak from the solder joint on the upper radiator hose nipple. Has anyone tryied to repair their radiators themselfs? I was thinking of just using JB Weld to reseal it, of course after partially draining and cleaning the joint. Do you think it would bond...

    How much is too much gasoline in a waste oil blend?

    Back for a moment.... Like I was saying, I notice it in 5th mainly. I don't even look at the EGT until I get into 4th, and I do notice it in 4th it's just I'm under the heat I want to stay at so I don't pay it much thought. As far as in 5th I noticed (more diesil) between 1800-2200 rpms...

    4" Ram Air Scoop for deuce

    I appreciate it Repo, but if I can get good pics and measurements of the one that works/looks really well that would be best. That way I know the opening in the front is the right size to feed the 4 in pipe. Plus then I'm sure it'll be proportioned correctly. I've got no problem making a couple...

    How much is too much gasoline in a waste oil blend?

    Is it just me or has anyone else noted higher EGT's with diesil than gas to cut WMO? I normally cut my 50 gal tank with 5 gal diesil, 10 gal gas, and the rest WMO. Just for kicks this time I cut it 10 gal diesil, 5 gal gas, and the rest WMO, and noticed almost a 30* increase in EGT! Anyone else...

    Did ya'll plug the hole on the other side of the air filter box to keep any positive pressure in by chance? What did you use if so?

    4" Ram Air Scoop for deuce

    Hey do you think we can get some measurements and a little more up close pics of just the air scoop? I might try to fab one up out of steel, before I would shell out $150.
