    The Meme not a Meme Thread Part DEUX

    Safety regulations for wimps. REAL men do dangerous jobs without getting hurt. Idiots can get hurt while opening an envelope even while wearing gloves and a hard hat.

    Tachometer interference?

    I have a Dakota Digital instrument cluster in my car. Two years back I wanted to try an FBO ignition box. When I tried it, the tach needle bounced. I tried soldering in a diode but it made no difference. The Dakota Digital people told me that their tachometers sometimes react this way with some...

    Machine Shop Costs, 440 Build

    Holy crap, that is a rape job. I just got a 360 back from my machinist in California. $950 to bore, hone, hot tank block, install cam bearings, light surface to decks. Resurface heads, light valve job. Hang new pistons on original rods. I tore it down, I'll reassemble it. Almost $9,000 to build...

    Way off topic but....2007 Dodge Ram 1500. Is THIS a catalytic converter?

    Yeah? To filter what? Filters get clogged and need replacement. Could it be there to slow exhaust flow so the converters are more efficient?

    Way off topic but....2007 Dodge Ram 1500. Is THIS a catalytic converter?

    For years, I thought that this was a converter.... The truck has a 5.7, I've owned the truck since it was new. I removed the huge muffler and resonator that were further back when the truck was still new but I never touched the exhaust forward of the Flowmaster you see here: I always...

    Extra vin tag

    A popular term is "Fender Tag". Chevrolets and other GM products often referred to them as Data Plates.

    Firm Feel vs PST Torsion Bars

    Uhhh....The wheel rate will also be affected by the length of the lower control arms. Most of you will be surprised to know that the A body cars has lower control arms that were 1/2" longer than the B and E body LCAs. That can make a difference even with the A cars having a 37" bar and the B/E...

    Thoughts on gear vendors OD

    The cuts are in the tunnel exclusively. This requires a much slimmer cover to close off the opening. Cardboard was used to make a template: Steel sheet metal was then shaped to fit. Seam sealer and it is weathertight. The cutting was minor and could be reversed if someone...

    Thoughts on gear vendors OD

    "Cut the car up"? Nobody cuts their car up to install the popular Tremec 5 speed. There are several threads on the forum about installing these, I had one 4 years ago but THIS one covers the updated Tremec TKX version of the transmission that is slightly more compact: Tremec TKX 5-Speed...

    Extra vin tag

    To be clear, that is not a VIN tag. The VIN for your car is likely mounted in the left door mounting pillar below the windshield.

    Bought tires from Summit and got this

    While that is terrible, it is not common. Bad news travels faster than good so your story gets mentioned before the 50 other guys with 10 year old tires and no failures.

    Bought tires from Summit and got this

    The date issue is worth noting. I would be a bit annoyed but…. If you are like me where you sometimes wear a tire out before it ages out, it isn’t a problem. The last time I ordered tires through Summit, there was a shipping issue. They ended up shipping three tires instead if the pair that I...

    "Please S T O P saying this" thread.

    THAT is fine. People often seem to like shortening a word as if speaking two whole syllables is just too difficult for them. Here is one that is annoying....Door Cards. Guess what? Most of our classics were built in America and stayed there. This is not Great Britain where terms like these are...

    Late model EFI engines in classics withOUT catalytic converters...

    If you used a stock computer from the donor vehicle, how would the PCM in the vehicle maintain a proper air/fuel ratio? I am unsure.... would the engine stay in closed loop? Would the Air/Fuel ratio be essentially preset and not continuously adjusted as I understand that they are with a...

    BURNOUTS, donuts and general showing off? Proper procedure??

    Yeah, it is not a popular one either. The overwhelming majority of members threw in support for the OP because he did what most men do.
