    Drums to Disc...Today's Pricing

    i went for the Carlsons just because RA said they were steel while the Raybestos ones weren't specific and the last thing i wanted was to wind up with phenolic ones... I guess ignorance is bliss but we did many disc conversions on our race cars (1/4 mile asphalt oval) and never changed...

    Ever see brake booster like this?

    did a resto on a 1940 Diamond T pickup that had one of those...DO NOT send it to Power Brake Xchange in Pittsburg...the master they did came back full of rust and glass beads (i pulled it apart to flush it cause customer requested silicone fluid and couldn't believe how bad it was)...the paint...

    Parts cleaners - Ultrasonic, vibratory & solvent-experience welcome.

    x2 on the psc 1000...had a real SafetyKleen machine in my business for 40 yrs...NOT cost effective for a retirement shop...the PSC 1000 gives results equivalent to the SK...i like the fact that it leaves a bit of an oily film as that keeps stuff i've cleaned from flash rusting immediately...then...

    Yet Another Chrysler Turquoise Engine Paint Thread....But Maybe The Last?

    used the Hirsch turquoise 2 yrs ago...also thought it was too green...then when i ran out it was out of stock for a year...sent pics to Hirsch and they swore it was correct...they sent me a link to a video where some club said it was the closest match to some other paint that was...

    What is going on with my valve train?!?!?!?!

    idk what those adjusters should look like new so i can't judge how much is missing...but maybe the cam flattened out or lifters collapsed and you're looking at the result of the excessive clearance rather than the cause...otherwise maybe cam bearing was mis-indexed or spun so oil flow to the top...
