    Engine Contour fan CFM

    I've often wondered about the aftermarket contours. Others swear by them, but I've stayed away, and I've had a few electric fans. The only one that disappointed was the original straight-bladed Black Magic fan. I like my expensive Ron Davis twin spal fan setup... no idea what it flows...

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    Odometer @ 93,685 Stiffler's D/S safet loop no-go This piece is very nice and I thought it would work with my Stiffler's T56 crossmember. Actually, it doesn't bolt to that, but wedges between the transmission mount and the transmission on the top side. This thing is cool because you don't...

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    I am pumped to have found a black rear hatch and rear bumper cover panel off of a wrecked 92 at a nearby junkyard! The paint ain't great, but neither is the rest of black jack's. Looking forward to finally 'repairing' the damaged ones from when that truck hit me a while back. Got $3.4k or...

    Came across an amazing combo, today

    3.27s won't get ya in trouble. I know you make a ton more tq than Black Jack, but damn it my 1st gear isn't ridiculously tall, and with 2.73s, yours is even taller.

    Came across an amazing combo, today

    Said it made less than the turbo 302 that came out of it. But, it was 50xrwhp, and something like 530 rwtq. Also, said it was like 400+ rwtq at 2k RPM. Called his 1-3 gears useless with 3.73s.

    I went out to pick up a decent deal on a Systemax intake, and got an unexpected treat: View: https://youtu.be/X9-Al62bV9s?si=woNIFnJ7lE9nB8qu

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    My renewed enthusiasm for the car gave me the motivation to continue work, tonight. Nothing too much... Just an a/c temp cable & troubleshot the speedo signal glitch. It was the power to the dakota. I guess where it's connected to the HVAC blower feed was not solid. I jiggled the wires a bit...

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    Yeah, but this is actual footage of Blackjack during its last autocross. Look at how she leans!: View: https://youtu.be/M-Q8P049-2Q?si=VXUdbJW5yaV-4l81

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    Stock swaybars. Stock-ish rate progressive B-springs. Believe it or not, I think the lakewood traction bars help balance somehow. This car does not understeer at autocrosses like I've come to expect from foxes. It's very throttle steerable - I can understeer or induce oversteer with throttle...

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    Maybe an exaggeration, but seriously, the old worn clutch got to a point that even with preload, it wouldn’t fully disengage even with the entire pedal stroke. It was making the trans really notchy and tough to shift, especially when trying to be aggressive. Now, after installing the new clutch...

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    What a difference. Clutch uses about 1/2 the pedal thatthe Valeo/King Cobra did. Pedal firmness is about the same. A hint of chatter, but it isn't broken in, yet. Shifts are much cleaner again. Got to a point I was missing powershifts, but I'll bet this clears that up. The front struts are...

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    Oh yeah... I'm old (by military standards), am assigned to an army component HQ, and am a data scientist. The likelihood of me deploying again in my career is sub-1%. Yep, the pollen warrents breaking out my pro-mask, and my black car is yellow. Usually this is a 1 month thing. Last year is...

    Black Jack: Now a little less of a rust bucket

    The drivetrain is back together, And the new struts are in: Boys, I really had a helluva struggle with motivation this time around. That's why it dragged out so long. Will report back on my first Ram clutch experience. Have heard good things. Very happy to be going back to driving the...

    Engine Obstinate Pilot Bearing removal

    It's out, and I was dumb. Using the puller requires, 1. remove the center & bearing material, and 2. findinging these designed insert slots and ensuring the jaws open firmly into them.

    Engine Obstinate Pilot Bearing removal

    I don't weld, but I like that idea, a lot. I like JDs idea of chilling it. What's the best way to do that? Upside down canned air?
