White-Rodgers isn't very helpful with older products, are they? But, this might be a workaround. I went to their site, searched for an equivalent current product and got the sheet for that: http://ww

Ummm, let's do the math a bit more simply, and rightly assume SCFM for the output. The actual displacement of the stock dual port engine is 1584 cc, so, with the cam timing adjusted to open #2 and #4

Mordy, I can't for the life of me figure out why hydraulic fan drives have persisted. Where I've been working for the past thirteen years, we produced transit buses with transverse-mounted engines, s

Probably a good thing not to do, Randall. (!) It's funny--I've only had instance where I felt that an engine flush was the best course of action. At the time, I had a sister-in-law who bought a $50 j

Probably too much for general use. Typically, a machinist's vise is meant to be used for machining--the faces are generally trued by grinding, the ways are machined to prevent the outside jaw from ki

I sent a later message which did not go through, acknowledging that Chris' estimation of this item was quite correct. They call it a machinist's vise, but it is not a machine vise. Some distinction b

Don't think the ones we use have wire embedded in them--they're made of a high carbon content rubber. Check with your local truck supply store. They should have them, since they're DOT-required in ma

In the heavy-truck industry, this is the difference between "hub-piloted" and "stud-piloted" wheels. I wouldn't have a clue about wheel-mounting on a later Ford van, but, if your wheels have a depres
