WOW!

I make a plug that goes where the distributor goes with just enough of the distributor shaft and and bearings and gear to drive the oil pump. Been doing it for 45 years. Can't remember having one fail. The Electromotive stuff works well.

I always look for and ask about the stupid clause in all insurance policies. You never know when stupid will show up!!
As for Heims, if applied properly and using the correct one, never had one fail. even the ones I bent in battle!!!

Her sister had a 66 Fairlane, not near as nice!

DC…do you have a picture of this?

Just curious…perhaps I can help someone in future…or myself.

I do not have a pic, but it was an extension on the end of the spool that created a slower pressure drop as you opened the valve more. it had an angle on it which took some playing to get correct.

I'm pretty sure my car is a 64  65  66 Mustang like the Man in Black said in his song, because I think nothing that is removable left the factory actually bolted to this tub. So I've go a lot of build dates!

I have my 4 post lift in my garage at home that has an 8 foot ceiling. I love it. I bought a really nice creeper and adjust the lift so everything I work on is an easy reach between naps on the soft creeper. It also makes my trifocal glasses easier to take advantage of with a lot less head twisting while laying down.

I just made two articulated arms for my one engine stand and got good at centering to get balance. Spent the $300 on good KentuckyBourbon!

 
Yeah, but after you drink the bourbon, we know where it winds up. I will, on the other hand, still have my fancy new toy in use for many years!

Yeah, If I were building another engine stand, I would start with a worm gear set up, makes it real easy!!
But, I'll keep the Bourbon handy!
When I built my heavy duty engine stand I made it to be the big end of my Rotisserie, so a couple thousand pounds on it alone is no problem.

Yea I recently decided no rules is good so I am only doing Track Days that have less rule attention required!
Retirement should have no rules!

I have had great success with my Go pro camera tapped/wired/glued to something underneath the car to watch the vibe happen! I did have one that had the tail housing of the tranny bouncing around that ended up being a half broken mount that made the the thing more torsional than up and down since only one side failed.

I have one that I think is 500 watts. Was bought to put the tamper seals on the top of bottles like pill bottles. It came with a test coil that I have uset to heat tubing and shafts for shrink fits and such. I got a little too close once and both the lenses fell out of my safety glasses when the frames heated up. I use my torch set!!
