Eric, Up here you get the cold, plus humidity (great LAKES, eh?) Kinda chills you to the bone, but I'm with you, I'd rather have snow than cold rain. Not a lot of "ice" on the roads. Once it gets cold it usually just snows, and not all that much, really. We have lotsa salt, though, just so...

Thanks Carl, 5 years ago we lived above Fort Collins and loved it. Spent 9 years there. Circumstances and jobs forced us elsewhere. I pray this will be our final stop and we can avoid the East forever. Look me up if you travel West. Paul

Eric, Actually, I've had a bad 3 years here, probably because of my connection with the Auto Industry. Once they figure out how to compete with the foreign makers and once Americans at least give American brands a shot, (I know, I know, there's foreign content in all of them, and I don't want to...

Time to apologize to friends. A little while back, I gave the State of Michigan a good rip on behalf of my friend Eric Walton. I was rude and out of line, but only hoped I could spare a friend some grief. My only excuse is that I'm sort of trapped in a bad situation. This is a really good...

Good Luck to both of you, Andy, and God Bless. Devoted friends like you are few and far between. JT is a lucky guy to have you around. Paul

I had an MSD unit on my '83 with a timing control. I adjusted my baseline per Nick's method (best one, so far) at dial zero, then I could adjust 7.5 degrees in either direction. Reason was, I lived at 7500 ft and had to come down into town, which was at 4950 ft. I could "tune" as necessary. It...

Happy Birthday, Craig!!!!

As an afterthought, GM sells an Iron Duke that is used for Marine In/Outdrive applications that is 181 Cu. In. or 3 Liter. Bolt up and get a 20% increase in displacement. Gotta be a lot of junkyard motors in the marinas down there. Clifford performance has stuff for them and they race them, too...

It must be absolutely terrifying to know that your life will end early. When I was diagnosed with diabetes about 4 years ago, it scared the crap out of me, even though my problem is relatively benign with treatment. Regardless, I knew at that point that my life would probably be a lot shorter...

I think you're "funnin' us", SC. You playin' round with the "shine" again? Momma gonna whup you upside the haid soon!:D :D

Moving to Arizona comes to mind..........Kidding!!!;) . Not sure why you have th problem, sorry. Paul

I was at WO about a year and a half ago. They showed me their process of redrilling the mounting holes using templates from original tubs. They seemed thorough and the tubs looked pretty good. They're Juan MD tubs same as all the others, just fitted to stock templates. You should have a good...

The stock blades are made by Trico. Still available, but often hard to locate. They are known as the "Exact Fit" line and carry "11-6" for a part number. The website is http://www.tricoproducts.com/index.cfm?location_id=33 They have a dealer locator link. I personally feel CJ's with black...

Jake and all, I apologize for being a bit strident. You weren't close to a nerve, at all. As a matter of fact, I'm an addicted information junky and as a result highly opinionated about sources that contain fatal flaws (in my opinion). The internet is a wonderful resource, but in using it, I...

Sorry, I have issues about reference sources that can be changed by just ANYONE, including ME, arbitrarily. While the information may be correct, it also may be INcorrect. Just by being included in a Wiki, it "appears" to be valid. It's similar to forums, including this one, that essentially...

I stand corrected. I so dumb!:o Sorry if I caused confusion. What I meant to say was that you want to match the manifold to the head. The simple point is that the gasket is just a gasket. You never match anything to a gasket. You adjust the gasket to fit the porting. I just didn't want to...

The concept is to match the head to the block, not to the gasket. Clearance your gasket in order that it doesn't restrict flow. Check your gasket on the block, as well, to insure that not only there is no restriction, but also that there's adequate sealing material remaining. If you wanted to...

I believe the Kaiser Supersonic you have could be the original engine. This engine was originally a Continental Red Seal. It displaces 226 cubic inches and produces about 115 HP. Kaiser cast a new "Supersonic" head for it and used it in in Jeeps and passenger cars. In time it became the "Super...

Use the hydraulic method and wrap masking tape around the bolt or dowel until you get a really close fit. The closer the better.

Google is where your search begins. I have no links for that info, but I'm sure someone does.
