    Got my new motorcycle!! PICS!!

    Congrats!! Enjoy the bikes and always be safe. I was going to buy a Yamaha R-1 then I test drove it, and saw how fast it really was. Took it back, said they would hear from me, and left. I realized that 18 years old and a 10 second bike will not mix well at all.

    getting a new radiator. Which would you get?

    Jerry do not get a new rad that is not your problem. Like others have said get a new fan. I have a 3 row factory radiator on mine with a puller electric fan, and my car barely creeps to 210 degrees with the fan off. I haven't gotten it out there much yet though so not too much city driving yet...

    Ten needs a miracle

    I am sorry to hear that. I have not lost a pet yet, but it is a fear I have to this day. They are like your own children. Again sorry to hear it, hopefully it will work out for the best.

    What would you do? 66 Mustang

    You gotta remember there were over a million coupes sold. Not to mention it is a six cylinder. I personally would modify it, not like you are carrying a shelby or california special, no offense, if you do a concourse car it still won't be worth that much. So I would modify it.

    Help me convince my dad that a 5.0 is a good dd.

    My 5.0 is my daily driver and you can't beat it. It is leather interior, convertible, A/C, heat, powersteering and brakes, and of course a 5-speed. Tons of fun to drive, and still pulls 22-23mpg between highway and city driving, usually around 300-320 miles per tank. Would like to do some...

    Illegal immigration petition

    I agree with the majority here, yes we may take a dip, but it is a necessary dip to fix a problem that has been going on for far too long. Then we need to strengthen our borders, Jkube2 hit it right on, we will have worse problems than illegals if we don't. If there are 11 million of them here...

    intake and carb

    Do what D. Hearne said first he knows his holleys. Then I am going to recommend you check the timing. What is initial and check to see if it advances properly. Then if that is all correct and you corrected your floats it is time to tweak with the carb. Could be a lean issue if it is sputtering...

    Rear Main Seal - changing it w/ engine in car - Advice Please?!?

    Oz I replied to your PM. I forgot to add about the cam plug. First lets get this problem eliminated, and then we will tackle that one if this doesn't cure it.

    Rear Main Seal - changing it w/ engine in car - Advice Please?!?

    Oz the crossmember is removable, belive me it is very easy to get off. Don't bother messing with the engine you won't need to. Don't buy a sneaky pete. Get the pan off, then the cap, then just tap it out with a small hammer and punch, take good care to not nick the crank. Will come right out...

    Finished up a T5 swap, comments and a review

    I just prefer to take the engine out with the tranny, makes for a much easier tranny install.

    New Carb Time . . . input needed . . .

    I am having the exact problem, I am trying to get the distributor on a machine so I can take the car above 3000rpms. It is killing me I want to feel the power. I can't even get the tires to hook at 2000rpms can't wait to see what the real powerband is going to feel like.

    New Carb Time . . . input needed . . .

    I love my mighty demon carb. I had so many issues getting it to run right out of the box mostly due to my inexperience. After all this trial and error I learned all the little tuning capabilities of this carb. Which is why it appeals to me, the design is amazing, and gives me the ability to...

    Really Nice Pics!!!

    Beautiful car, that is the exact stance I want to go with the only difference is I am thinking of 17inch Bullitts. What are the specs on your wheels, and tire sizes I am really curious looks like exactly what I want.

    Illegal immigration petition

    Again the point being it is illegal is the simplest argument you can throw out there. I don't get why they should have a say in it at all. Something kinda strikes a nerve when people protest a policy of a nation they aren't even a part of. It just doesn't make sense. Yes we will take a hit if...

    Illegal immigration petition

    I am not making this up, most of the places that are prone to crime are areas with low income and tend to be minorities. I am not saying white people, and black people are angels they commit these crimes too, but the Latino groups do just as much if not more, it is a proven statistic...

    Starter Issue / Low Volts

    Have you verified that your timing marks are correct? I used a piston stop to do that. Start out with 12 degrees timing it is a good place to start. A simple way to do it is to get the pointer at 12 degrees, then take the coil and #1 plug wires off the cap. Hook the leads of your voltmeter to...

    Illegal immigration petition

    It was very hard, that is what I was trying to illustrate. I am not saying that all the Mexicans are bad but we are not getting the cream of the crop either. They very well do have the foresight to understand the role education plays in life. I don't know if you have seen or learned about the...
