Have any industrial liquidators near you? if so call and ask them if they have any aircraft wire, you can use smaller diameter with a great current draw with aircraft wire due to much of it using tefzel and sometimes if your really lucky teflon insulation.

Any pics and dimensions? theres a company out there that makes nothing but washers called seastrom. Maybe a call to their eng staff could help out.

Thats exactly what mine looked like when I stripped em. I painted mine with Rustoleum Hammered Black to match my trim color. After you drive painted wheels a few times the paint is rock hard from the heat the brakes generate. Mine are like powered coated now and have no chips and the brake dust...

Im with JJ on this one.

WAYYYYYY back in the mid 70's some buddies went to Arizonas Auto school. When they came home and got jobs I was still clueless to auto repairs. I had my brake booster replaced on my car, the next day it failed and I got in an accident, so I decided NO one will work on my brakes but me from now...

I got my first car a 63 rambler station wagon, my mom only let my older friends drive it. On one particular camping trip I drove out near hemet which back then was major BFE, and im driving along and my buddy says Rick you just ran a stop sign, I said no way dude, I looked in my mirror and sure...

It's when the carbon chunks get between the cylinder wall and the piston and make nice deep verticle grooves. Then you dont have to worry about the carbon anymore cause you have a loss of compression attracting all your attention.

So very true, but if it can remove carbon from gun parts I would imagine it can remove engine carbon. Carbon from any source is pretty hard to remove, one cheaper way to do it is with a slow trickle of water into the intake at about 3500rpm. This brings the water into the combustion chamber as...

Wanna know how it works, soak some crusty (carbon coated parts) gun parts in it overnite. You'll see NOTHING happend.

I use the ST bars with all poly bushings. They keep my car flat in the turns so the tires can do their job. I got mine from summitracing.com

Blue, thanks for that info, is the internal shaft seal an oring?

I just pulled the old Distributor Shaft O'ring out and it is a Standard 219 Oring. I suggest if anyone ever replaces it to buy a Viton 219 Oring, then it won't leak or get dried out from engine oils like buna rubber does. Also use some Oring Lube, it helps keep it moist and sealed almost forever.

The only reason I wouldnt use Metallic Cores in my Supra is because they will Big time mess with your sound system, other than that they are great for any car when it comes to durability. I did not run a magneto in my Charger, I ran an MSD sealed bearing distributor, MSD 6A, and MP Plug Wires...

The last set of expensive wires I bought were for a Dodge 440, Yes I did solder them as they were Mopar Performance metallic core wires and with the right flux, solder, heat, and Skill, you can pretty much solder any two dissimilar metals together, which beats the hell out of just crimping when...

I'm replacing everything this weekend. I see some oil dripping into the distributor housing, is this coming from the oring, or can it wick up a loose shaft? Thanks Rick

Here's the link that I bought my first pump with an anti-cavitation plate for my 454 suburban. After I had it in my hands and saw that all they did was weld a galvanized plate to the impeller I realized the impact it would have on water circulation at any speed. I also realized I would be...

YES, Thank You Gilsdorf, thats Perfect. I wanted to see if I could weld a anti-cavatation plate onto the impeller so the water is force fed at any engine rpm. With all the muscle cars I've owned over the years I have done that and it allowed the temp to stay at exactly what the thermostat rating...

Lemme square it away for all the rocket scientists, I'm kidding. Yes spark plug wire kits for V8's can come in a universal kit with X amount of wire in the box along with a crimper for PROPER crimps, just like the factory ones toooooooo.. I solder mine, but hey I have experience. As for being...

I am looking for pictures of the impeller side of an mkIII water pump. Thanks Rick

Goodyear.com there you'll find a chart that shows the maximum widths for particular rim widths.
