I believe LN Engineering briefly made Corvair cylinders 10+ years ago, but they were pricey.

Clark's attends every other year. They were there last year, so if they follow their normal pattern, they'll be back in 2020.

How warm/cold is the top? Colder temps make the vinyl much stiffer.

If they ever get graphene battery technology prefected so we can ditch lithium ion batteries, energy density goes up, charging time drops significantly. I've driven a Tesla Model S - impressive vehicle.

I have the Airtex style mounted near the tank. You don't notice it running while the engine is running. It is noisy when I turn the key to ON and the carb bowls are dry, but gets quieter once they fill.

It becomes "new" every time there is a new post in the topic. Even a 5 year old post with 10,000 views becomes new again if someone posts in it. If you read it, the new goes away. The cookies in your browser track what you have viewed and update the new status accordingly.

If the number isn't in my contacts list, I do not answer. If the caller is legitimate, they can leave a voicemail. The few telemarketers that leave a message get blocked, repeat unknown callers get blocked, etc. I kept my GA number when I moved to OK, so most spoofed calls appear to come from GA for me.

While I won;t fault the owner for coming up with a way to keep thier drink from spilling, I am often amazed at people who want top-dollar for their car but won;t take the time to remove stuff like this and vacuum the floor.

Actually, the entire stock intake plenum has been removed. Common for Webber manifolds or six individual runners.

Yes, sad but not unexpected. They ignored the threat for too long, just like K-Mart ignored Walmart until it was too late. I am also guilty of online shopping, but I did go to Sears for tools - one of the few things I made sure to purchase at my local Sears.

No reason a Pertronix shouldn't work in a Rampside. P1 seems ok in all engines, P2 should be avoided in powerglides (low idle causes an issue with P2).

Texting and flying will be so much safer than texting and driving. The only way I see flying cars ever taking off (pun intended) is if they are fully automated. Input a destination and press "go". They also really need some sort of short or preferably vertical, takeoff and landing. Helicopter style or tilt-rotor like the V-22 Osprey. Of course the other obstacle is maintenence. When peopl

I'll keep an eye on mine. I will say, engine off, key on, the backup bulbs flickered to the tune of the fuel pump. This was with the battery that had set a week without starting. With the car running, there was no flicker, and when shut down, no flicker. I assume they have a threshold voltage that they are not happy with. I'll need to test with the headlights and heater on. I'll pick up s

I received trim rings from a club member today. What glue/adhesive should I use to attach them to the lenses? The glue that held them on previously appears to have been thick since the rings themselves are thin.
