    Everyone here needs to grow a pair. Bring on the Babes of the Month. But they better not be ugly! If you're too dramatic and emotional over a *****ing BBS, then please. Get the hell out of here. -Tim

    Boyd Coddington...American Hot Rod

    I hate that show. Boyd is a douchebag. No one on his team is even remotely likeable. I don't care for the typical "rod with flames", and they ruined that 65 for some old lady. Lame show, lame crew. -Tim

    I'm in deep shi*t... blew it up.

    lol, they took it back no questions asked... just like their policy. Too bad I had to go through literally 6 different clueless goons to find someone who knew what they were doing. I ended up in Human Resources.. lol This time I'll have it hard-wired and triple check everything. I'll...

    I'm in deep shi*t... blew it up.

    Swade and 2nd Mustang, While I appreciate your help, the questions you are asking I answered in my original post already. Yes, I filled it with oil, and yes it's a 240V. You can also simply click on the links I provided which also answer those questions. WORTH, thanks for the...

    I'm in deep shi*t... blew it up.

    Yeah, I'm definitely taking it back to sears tomorrow to swap it out. I'm also going to check the polarity of the 2 120V lines.... the motor should have only tried to run but failed.... when it smokes and burns out that seems like a tell-tale sign of a polarity issue. It fried when it should...

    I'm in deep shi*t... blew it up.

    Interesting.. I just found this: http://www.sawdustmaking.com/AirCompressors/air_compressor.htm "RUNNING OFF A GENERATOR There is often a problem using an electric compressor powered by a generator. Most electric tools have a "start-up surge" they need more current to start than they do...

    I'm in deep shi*t... blew it up.

    hahaha... no, no.. nothing THAT bad. I'd have a lot more curse words in the title then. Swede, I mentioned in my post that the generator gives out 240V @ 30amps. I also mentioned that the compressor DID turn on but then maybe 30 seconds after it was running, the motor started smoking...

    I'm in deep shi*t... blew it up.

    The $500 compressor I bought... yeah, I just blew the motor on the first power-up. For those of you that helped me out with the wiring earlier... something went wrong. Here are the final details.. I have no idea what went wrong: -=Generator=- 240V output at 30amps -=Compressor=-...

    Wiring Help Needed... 240volt 15amp Compressor??

    ... and just so everyone knows... the compressor doesn't have a cord. It didn't come with one or anything. You have to wire in your own inside the switch box on the compressor. Inside is the terminal setup I explained earlier. The green is definitely grounded.... then the white and black are...

    Wiring Help Needed... 240volt 15amp Compressor??

    Craftsman is terrible. There isn't a schematic or any details on the wiring. Simply "A proffessional electrician is required to install". Being politically correct and covering ones' ass is very popular in this century. I was thinking that maybe their idea is to have no neutral and just 2...

    Wiring Help Needed... 240volt 15amp Compressor??

    Thanks for the replies.. this should explain better. My house has the main circuit breaker panel in the basement. All the breakers are used up. It also has a sub-panel installed right next to it. The sub-panel is an INPUT PANEL for our generator in case we lose power in the winter. The INPUT...

    Wiring Help Needed... 240volt 15amp Compressor??

    Hi, I just bought a new craftsman air compressor for my garage and it requires 240volts at 15amps. I have yet to wire the garage for 240, so I'm SOL at the moment. My plans right now are to use my 240volt 30amp generator to supply the power in the meantime. Problem: -The generator has a...

    Easy way to remove front spring?

    I hate springs and spring compressors. I worked with a mechanic that once used a Snap-On spring compressor and the damn thing broke while under tension and the spring broke his jaw. He had to have major surgery that Snap-On pretty much took care of (along with replacing the tool). -Tim

    New 4 point roll bar pics

    How can you say you're still going to use the rear seat? Anyone back there without racing shoulder harnesses is going to get severely hurt if you even brake fast, let alone crash. -(FACE TO THE POLE)- -Tim =unless you just mean for cosmetics

    Is this good for a 408W?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7930046999&category=33620 I'm not quite positive if the price justifies the parts... anyone ever heard of Mahle? -Tim

    429 in a 1967???

    Do you have any pics of your engine setup? What are the specs on your motor?? I'm assuming you've modded it to get 370+hp... You're not using headers? What exhaust manifolds are you using then? I doubt I can use the Thunderbird ones... What are you using for suspension to keep that baby...

    429 in a 1967???

    Hmm.. I've done a little bit of research on google... and it seems like the 429 had no b@lls.... 215hp or somethin' like that. Out of a 429!??! It might just be more of a PITA than a jaw-dropper. -Tim
