    Air powered wipers stuck

    After cleaning and lubing my old metal units, they worked for a short period of time. They had excessive blow by of the seals. I disassembled them again and found the coiled spring seal expanders were just iron oxide. I replaced the springs with an o-ring of similar cross section. This did the...

    Vacuum advance for civilian distributor on a stock M725 engine

    Anywhere below the throttle plates is manifold vacuum. Not where you want a vacuum advance plumbed. You don't want full advance at idle. You don't really want any vacuum advance at idle. Vacuum advances are plumbed to "ported" or venturi vacuum sources above the throttle plates. There is little...

    My truck came back from Haspin clean enough for a parade. How can I say no? This is a fun parade with lots of spectator turn out. I should be able to make this. Put me on the list.

    Geared lug wrench

    While not as reliable as bowling balls, a bit easier to fit in the tool box.

    Geared lug wrench

    No. This would be for a simple bar. The geared wrench will multiply torque by its ratio. Breaking the nuts loose for removal is where the geared wrench comes in handy. Putting them back on is the easy part.

    Geared lug wrench

    Torque is a rotational force that is the product of the force and fulcrum length. If you apply your weight of 200 lbs at a fulcrum length of 1 foot you will generate 200 lbs/ft of torque. at a fulcrum length of 1.5 feet, you would generate 300 lbs/ft. Lug nut torque for the Deuce is 325-350...

    To all of those I had the opportunity to enjoy Haspin with, thank you for a great time. I spent more time on the trails than ever and came home with a clean truck. I felt a bit guilty at first, but not any more....

    M880 318 Engine Intake Manifold Question

    The "plug", was termed a "floor jet". It had a metered port that bled exhaust gas from the crossover port into the intake plenum. It was an early EGR system found on passenger cars. Your best bet is to plug it.

    New member from Cincinnati Oh.

    Welcome from Colerain Township. I've had lots of fun in Okeana. Haspin is 30 minutes away. Join us mid June at the rally. A great way to check out trucks and meet some of the crew.

    headed to Knob Creek KY

    The bridge is commonly under water in the wet season. The bridge collapsed a few years back due to a logging truck hitting a structural member. The bridge and truck went down.
