Resonance

When this occurs there are wave forms pulsing back and forth in the exhaust pipe from manifold to the pipe outlet at the back of the car.
Sound waves are also pressure waves. When the ...

I think you will find if you consult an electronics designer that the ground is sporatic, either in the instrument or with the grounding. With loss of ground the needle will always read hot or go hig ...

Just picked up a 38/38 carb. Looks real nice...but I think it is missing a tuning screw on the passenger side. A digram I found calls it a "Primary idle jet and holder". Is this a very specific tuning ...

It's shiney not just for good looks. It's shiney for it's reflective properties. Years ago newspapers printed on aluminun sheets (plates). I got a bunch for reflective insulation in the ceiling of ...

Be very careful that the ends of the expander do not overlap. If they are out of place, it WILL gouge the cylinder wall. (Been there). My original engine is sitting on a stahd now with a gouge in t ...

The slave cylinder in the photo is installed upside down. Bleeder valve should be at the bottom. Internal drilling vents the top.

Do you have any photo's of where the IAC fits into the system. Thats really the only part that confuses me. I have also be doing something the same way but doing it as individual pipes that connect in ...

Hi,
I built an air pipe manifold using a hard copper tube with individual 1/4" runners to each ITB. Have to keep the 1/4" lines short or they will not pass enough air. If you can find bigger ones, ...

Instead of the starburst, look for this on the label.

Match the hole size at the base of the carb and taper it out as you go down. The step at the end is unavoidable. Larger taper angles cause eddies along the wall, just like you see in water in an exp ...

Rapidcool 14", as per their catalog for the 4 cyl BMW, I believe it is 1400 cfm.

pointless! It causes a "sudden expansion pressure loss effect". Many have done it but never have any numbers (relative to pressure loss) to convince themselves of the mistake in doing it.

i'm currently running the bbs basket weave rims 4x100 14x16.5, im looking at some new options, i think the offset of them is 34, but where is the offset of the rim measured from? ........

I just don't like seeing barb fittings with some kind of rubber tubing for the return line. Sure they would take vibration, but the connections are not as secure as compression or flare. I'll probab ...

The arm on the steering sector (steering box) is the "pitman arm". The link connected to it is the "drag link" (it drags the steering around). The idler arm is on the passenger's side connected to t ...

If you mount them firmly then they will probably be ok. Be aware though, there times when the engine sends out vibration pulses that you don't even notice, but some equipment starts to resonate just ...

Ever wonder why production cars don't use copper? It work hardens as it vibrates, then it cracks. You would loose all the oil.

There is a lot of talk about this topic, everywhere.

One thing is for sure --- Redline oils have much higher ZDDP content, and are an excellent choice for our cars.

How much more?

Here is a l ...

Kenny,
I will try to answer as many of you questions as I feel qualified.

In a recent post about synthetic oil, Toby mentioned the reduced zinc additive. Some of us (me) have quite a bit of previ ...

You Still Need?

Use a TecIII which includes all the elements of the XDI. If you want more user info on XDI go to http://electromotivetec.freeforums.org/

No harm, but as the previous poster stated, the additive packages are different between oils as well as base stock and to the chemist will not perform as they expect.

You might want to just check t ...

At 1400rpm, it is not at full mechanical advance, i.e. the fly weights are moving out still against the springs. So you might make sure the advance plate and weight pivots are not sticky. If the ass ...

You can put a reasonalbly thick layer of grease on the critical surfaces (cylinder walls, crank journals etc) or get some Amsoil Heavy Duty MP and spray it on. Both come off easily with mineral solve ...

With the air cleaner off, stroke the throttle and watch down the throat for the accelerator pump squirt. Most probable cause on starting if there has been no ignition change.

Go back to ATF. It worked for you.

Any synthetic 90 is the same viscosity as a dino 90 at 100C, the rating temp. Sure it is thinner in the bottle as you look at it, that't it's advantage, it does ...

How about knowing how it is determined, then you never need to scratch for the answer!

It is the number of cable turns per mile. So take your driveshaf turns per mile and divide by the speedometer ...
