Forgive me if I missed it, but what compressor are people using for their deuce A/C projects?

I know this is a long shot, but will a deuce radiator work on a gamma goat? If so, you can have my parts truck radiator.

Nice!

Hi temp JB weld...

Ugh, that sucks. Let me know when you want to tackle it and I'll come up and give you a hand. I can come up this weekend.

:oops: I should have been watching the temp gauge. Like you said, it took a bit of concentration to drive on the highway... Get Kieth to help you. Do you have a light on a stand? If so, do it at night, when it's 80 degrees rather than 100.

looks good.

What kind of fuel economy do you get with the turbo at around 60 mph?

This is how I mounted the cruise cable. I used existing holes in the driver's side alternator bracket so the cable is being suspended more or less over the throttle pulley. Here's a closeup of the throttle pulley. Notice the two posts? You'll be tempted to use the bottom post that doesn't...

As far as a windshield without glass goes, there's got to be some dead goats out there with smashed windshield glass but otherwise decent metal. Shirley you can pick one of those up for a song.

Sorry, I completely forgot about adding pics. I'll add some tomorrow. I don't think the cruise control can be (easily) used to increase the idle speed. The rostra is a fully electronically controlled cruise control. Electric servo motor controlled by a simple logic box. It really only has...

I can get some drops from the machinist here in town and you can give them to kieth. He can make reproductions using your mount as a model.

He had to con some poor guy out of it at the topeka MVPA convention. :whistle:

Outstanding.

The reason you can move your limbs in air faster than you can water is because of fluid density. Not viscosity. Water is a denser fluid than air. Density and viscosity are not the same thing.

I'm not an expert, but I don't think it is recommended best practice to put ATF in an engine, anyways. Regardless of viscosity. Though it probably wouldn't hurt too much.

What does the viscosity have to do with it, given that the Dex VI has lower initial viscosity at given X temp, but the exact same minimum permissible viscosity? If we're going just by "run it in what the engineers built it for" then Dexron VI is perfectly acceptable for use in the TH400...

What does the viscosity have to do with it? We're talking about parts that are literally submerged and fully surrounded by this fluid, aren't we? I could see viscosity being an issue on something like back gears on a lathe, where centrifugal force would fling it off the gear. But in this...

I haven't seen any claims of Dexron VI being any more slippery than Dexron III. Only of having a lower initial viscosity at a given temperature. And the geared clutch disk thingies are swimming in ATF in normal operation, anyways, aren't they? How much more slippery could one ATF be over...

I suspect you're right. I was planning to change the fluid anyways since it's still running on the same ATF it had when I got it.
