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...
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...
A couple of us are planning to meet at Frisch's in Erlanger at 7:30 to catch some breakfast before the parade. It's 6 minutes from the parade start.
Frisch's is at 4016 Dixie Hwy., 41018. Everyone welcome to attend.

This is a fun parade with lots of spectator turn out.

No. This would be for a simple bar. The geared wrench will multiply torque by its ratio.

Your best bet is to plug it.
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.
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.
