Of course, Cummins buys their starters (and other bits) from who-knows-who so they should warrant it and they'll just send it back to their vendor. Still,...

I spend lots of time running back and forth to Advance when I have to get the belt length just right. The good news is that I have an Advance really...

That's what the Interwebs are for....

Sad to see him go though, of course, he was at that age. I always feel a bit sad to think that we nearly never heard that voice due to his stutter. ...

Welding supplies update:

The back-up bottle is, in fact, full. However, if you're welding and don't notice that you no longer have shielding...

[DanStokes]

Yep. I HAVE a spare bottle. But it's MT too. So today is a run to the welding store....

[DanStokes]

Good all over you for taking the time and letting them work it thru.

If size is a major concern you might want to look at Performance Distributors DynaBatt. They're pretty small but probably not cheap. And you can't get...

Back on the MGB highway.....


As I wait for a rebuilt distributor for the Stang I figured I might as well move along on the MGB. I'm...

[DanStokes]

I pulled the distributor with the intent of changing out the PIP and discovered that there's a ton of endplay (like 1/8") in the shaft. I have no...

Not bad! I'd like it - but hate the AI narration....

I used a Monarch phototach on Mutt the S10 which works perfectly. It's a lab grade instrument and probably overkill but I was used to them from the...

Instead of an MSD I have a Crane Hi6 on the Stang. I picked because the circle track guys at the time (this was 25 or so years ago) favored them because...

[DanStokes]

For me it's overly lowered vehicles. I don't like it when the top of the rim is up in the fender well. Looks like the suspension needs work.

Well, crap! Seems like the cooling system is better (though I'm not sure how much or if driving Stanger today burped more air out of the system) but...

Sometimes you do what's necessary....

Interesting observation based on the Mercedes OM617 Diesel in Mutt: When I got the Dieselmeken fuel pump installed and making maximum power (as measured...

[DanStokes]

I was surprised you let it go as I know you really enjoyed it....

[DanStokes]

Thanks Russell!

I pulled the trigger at HF and scored the supposedly spill-proof funnel and adaptors. Yes, the trick will be to remove it...

I'm kicking around elevating the front to see if that might work. But also considering: Back in the olden days the Renault R5 (LeCar here in the USA)...
