    Race gas vs AV gas

    It's about on par. Levels dropped all through the 1970s but in 1970 itself the average regular leaded had 2.42 grams of lead per US gallon, while premium had up to 2.81 grams. Today's 100LL Av-Gas had a maximum allowable of 2.13 grams per gallon (.56 grams/litre). If you can find the old 100...

    Oldie but Goodie War Movie "The Enemy General" (WW II) 1960

    I think all movie reviews should be this short and concise. :) Found the movie on Youtube, thanks.

    Seller claimed “I recommend honing the cylinders” LOL!!!!

    How did he explain a 4.25" stroke (to reach 512) with a cast crank?

    Hydrothermal Vents

    Indeed, the deepest fossil found so far was 7,400 feet below the ocean floor in Norway, it came up while drilling for oil. But the deepest oil wells are much deeper than any fossil - over 40,000 feet down in the Russian Chayvo oil field run by Exxon Neftegas Ltd. for example.

    For all of You Train Lovers

    Anybody need 2,000 horsepower? This turned up on my LinkedIn page. That's a V-16 two stroke with 567 cubic inches per cylinder. Just right if you're building a tractor dragster, although with a 900 rpm. redline you may need some very tall tires. By the way, I remember working in the shop and...

    Hydrothermal Vents

    75° Fahrenheit? I wonder if that's a typo. They've found water as hot as 750° Fahrenheit down there, kept liquid at that temperature only by the extreme water pressure.

    To Un-Hot Rod A Car Or Not?

    If he truly is into cars, he'll learn. I was still a teen when I was pulling parts, including rebuilding automatics.

    When do you say no to repairing a tv today......

    I'd like to see any car that has the price go down by very much for the next year's model. Did the last Challengers sell for half of the price when they came out in 2015?

    Richard Petty on his favorite race car

    I think the builds were different. After 1971 they stopped using factory body-in-white cars and started from the ground up with a tube frame and chassis, then hung on the body panels.

    Richard Petty on his favorite race car

    Petty didn't even race the 75-77 cars. His last win with the 1974 body was the Firecracker 400 in July 4, 1977. The next time he won a race (1979) he was driving an Oldsmobile. After he gave his son Kyle the Magnum, Kyle won his first race in it.

    What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

    The AMC 20 differential is actually quite robust, being a 8.875", bigger than a Dana 44, same with the pinion shaft. It's the axles that are the weak link, and they can be upgraded.

    Wheel Wednesday

    Must have gone up in price. They were originally a $11,495 option for all four when ordering the car new.

    Who Likes Aircraft ?

    Once the Ar-234 was geared up for production, it freed the Me-262 to be switched to a fighter role (as it was originally intended) instead of the bomber role that Hitler had first demanded. We've seen lots of pictures of the Me-262 as a fighter with its pointed nose containing four 30mm...
