Ed- I'm running a TBI on my '63. Mostly because I wanted it to appear *somewhat* like original, didn't want to cut anything, and wanted to bolt it down on stock intakes. I've run a FAST, a Holley-TBI, and now a Powerjection III; ditch the pump and it's a nice piece. I owned some stuff from...

I agree; limiting rights and opinions on both sides is un-American. And both sides of the protest were amateur-ish, and mildly offensive at best. If that's what he believes, good for him. The problem is when you represent a company, you affect the thousands that work for you, too. If (and I...

Probably not a bad idea. People not agreeing with me will probably only encourage me to debate ya. Nobody needs to see that in a public forum.... ;)

Maybe, just maybe, you hit a personal nerve... And I understand it. One of the best carb guys out here in Western NY is married to his partner of 15 years. They're both great guys. And have some mean quarter mile and street rods around. He helped me really learn how to tune a Q-Jet/AFB (and I...

Cecil- Awesome aircraft; thanks for keeping it alive. It's a shame how many of these birds were scrapped, ignored, or purposefully destroyed at the end of their life. It's truly a work of art. Now about that fuel consumption rate; holy $%#^@! I assume she runs on 100LL. When I tanked up the...

Cecil- Makes the Cherokees, 172s, 182s and Archers that I fly look like toys.. Only thing I flew remotely close to this cool was an old Cessna 195; that had the look, sure as heck not the performance. What's burn rate on a T-28, and what does a nice, current annual'd, ride go for? Just...

Bubble/Ricky- Usually not without some fair work from the Admin (Programming.) iPhones (in particular), and most mobile devices march to the beat of their own drum. Most companies actually program a second website; or purchase a costly program, to create a standalone "m.348-409.com" type of...

You know what's ironic? This is happening with *every* US manufacturer, and *every* global manufacturer. My two daily drivers are '06 and '09 Benzes. Both being AWD, 2/3rds of both drivelines are made in the US (Syracuse, NY, to be precise.) My Girlfriend's ML is assembled in Alabama; as are...

Rolls Royce Owners' Club. http://www.rroc.org/ And not dumb at all... You've got me hands down on this board, these cars, and the W's. :bow I should have spelled it out, I was just being lazy.... They're evil when it comes to originality; I've owned on old Bentley for years. (They're cheap...

Hi All! This may seem odd; but I just want to be sure... I own two older GMs, one is my '63 Impala, with a DTS 12-Bolt in it, and one is a '69 Corvette. The Impala is, and has been, mine since I was 18 (1994), so I know the Eaton center section needs Limited Slip Additive. The Corvette, I just...

Uh. At least the interior is semi-unmolested..... It's relatively stock, minus what appears to be a CB radio under the driver's dashboard, the tape deck (?!?!), and some other electronics in the passenger's seat. Quite a feat to add modern electronics for a Positive Earth car. So, the...

I wish he did.... We all had jobs, there was a budget surplus, and my 401K was growing at 10%+ annually. He can do whatever he wants for that to come back; I'll pay for said Columbian Prostitutes.

Bob- They're not my style, either, but Coopers are actually a heckuva lot of fun to drive. I've got a few friends with them; the "S" models go like stink, corner, and brake really well. It's like driving a go-kart to work. Plus, they fit my 6'2", 215lb. frame without an issue. Back seat doesn't...

And, this is *exactly* why politics should stay out of boards devoted to gearheads.... Ask yourselves this; do you think anyone has left this website with their opinions changed? Or if this is a productive use of anyone's time? I just tried to use some facts/research. If you agreed with them...

W-Head- Dunno personally; I just pump the stuff to the refinery; that's a chemist's problem. :) I asked a few peers here at work. From my/our tangential understanding, production costs depend on the sources, but average about 20% higher. They claim it's also economies of scale, though...
