That's a great tip! I hope I can remember it when needed!

I always wanted to try the cheap hydraulic version of this and compare it to my good one. Problem with my good one is that the dies are expensive. The cheap hydraulic one includes the dies. The nice thing about the one you have is that there's no oil to leak out and render it non working! Pretty ...

Greg Koesel (retired engineer from Ford) races an altered with a 300 six. Greg was able to obtain a factory experimental crossflow head from Ford. He's even got paperwork stating its on permanent loan to him from Ford - pretty cool. I digress. It'd be real interesting to see how this NEW head ...

BP, I turned it on my little Clausing lathe and then cut it on the old DoAll bandsaw. Punched the holes on the Bridgeport.

I want to skin the trailer in aluminum and I haven't decided on the exact incarnation just yet. I am between the tilt up as you mention and also a 1/2 fixed 1/2 sliding (which ...

So here's a project I finished a little while back. I am toying around with the idea of enclosing the dragster trailer. I am leaning heavily towards a "Mr. Ed" style (the minimalistic dragster trailers). If you've seen my trailer you may have noticed I am not a fan of sharp corners and avoid them ...

BP, I left like a grandmother driving to church (no doubt) and it was still gettin' it! I'm also under driving the blower quite a bit. There's a LOT more in it for sure. Baby steps.

Took the digger to 42 this weekend for the Rock-n-Race. Put down my best pass yet on a super easy launch I went 8.53@163mph. Pretty happy considering how easy I left. To Be Continued....

I needed a TIGHT 90 degree fuel line the other day for my diesel. Cummins wanted a RIDICULOUS amount for what should have been a 2 dollar hose. Of course I found THIS "universal molded hose" after the fact. Later I thought of ALL the times this would have come in handy! BTW they offer it in several ...

Would have been WAY cooler if he would have done a comparison WITH and WITHOUT the agitation. Not exactly an ultrasonic cleaner, but still a cool idea.

I wrote something up and posted it on one of the diesel forums. I am a NEWBIE there so we'll see how it is received. In any event I tried!

As it stands right now - I can go out and depress the manual primer and get 1/2 full pressure with a single depression. That's GOOD!!!! With that I KNOW it will fire right up so long as the Fuel Valve is open. This is part of my first "complaint" no where does anyone really explain that. Meaning the ...

GMJohnny, Some guys do exactly that, but in the same breath some guys warn not to because the lift pump is super reliable. I don't know either to be more or less true as I am a newbie. This motor DOES have a Fuel Heater which after overwhelming suggestions I deleted (easily reinstalled should I ever ...

MostMint, Yep There's actually a couple good youtube vids on the sending unit. It IS goofy. I see that exploration in my future as I've seen the gas gage read goofy every once in a while - so I'll be in there for that for sure. I can check out the rest at that time....waiting for warm weather on ...

MostMint, That's exactly my "complaint" - with all the experts out there I'm very surprised someone doesn't outline the entire fuel system. I have found bits and pieces, but that's all. As for the return - I believe it runs back to the tank. If I experience any more air issues -I will drop the tank ...

So while there's a TON of articles written on this motor I think for me I was a little bit disappointed in them. I say that because there wasn't a ton of theory just a lot of try this or try that. After fiddling with this for a a while now what would have helped me a TON would to have had MORE ...
