Thanks to those who answered my question about the 72 pulley. It looks like I have the correct diameter, something like 5.8". Does anyone have a 71-74, 7 blade plastic cooling fan they want to sell?

WOW!! I paid $85 last fall for a valve job, surface and they even found some umbrella valve seals that fit. No parts replaces as they were all within specification. $600 sounds high even if new valve

If you don't have access to a big air impact driver, here's what I did. Let the starter loosen it. You need to have the correct sized socket. Put it on the nut with a breaker bar. Rest the breaker ba

Pressure sounds fine. Are you using the plastic tubing that comes with most oil press kits? If you are, you should switch to copper tubing, its much stronger. Slip some vacuum tubing over the line an

Waste of money. If your car is not designed or altered to need it, high octane has no benefit. High octane fuels are designed for engines with very high compression ratios or forced induction (racing

Odd. I don't see the correlation between slow burning and better fuel economy. Slow burning means the piston is pushed down slower, resulting in less power and usually less MPG's. Your engine may req

All of the examples you cited require an extremely high compression ratio, something our Spitfires do not have. Diesels ~ 20:1 and extreme race engines, pumped with 30 lbs of boost. There is a balanc

I'm sure you are correct about this, but what I ment reguarding nitromethane was the artificially induced high compression created by extreme boost pressures. I should have been more clear. and Here
