A cloned Alger is where someone starts with a Husky chassis. More seriously... I regard an Alpine with a small-block Ford engine swap (retaining its Alpine VIN) as a straight-up Alger, an "authentic"

The pressure in that part of the system will be the same - it will just be your leg providing all the pressure instead of having the engine do part of the job for you. The pressure switch can fail bo

The static compression ratio is determined geometrically - you measure the displacement D of a cylinder, then the combustion chamber volume C (include the volume of the head gasket hole), and then t

I've used their cad tool to draw up and get an estimate for a couple of different parts (both work and Tiger related). It's pretty easy to use and the prices are not at all out of line with what you'

If you're a stickler for LAT originality then you can add them to your car... BUT: The weld-on ones essentially over-determine the rear axle location, and it will tear something to pieces over time..

Hi Tim, The bar I built is about the tallest you can fit under the soft top (it pushes the top out about 1/8" on both sides at the top corners), so I could get you some measurements if that will help

Earl's fittings and hose (especially the Swivel-Seal line and Perform-o-Flex hose) are great. It costs a little more than the others though. Follow the assembly instructions exactly, and be prepared

From your description it sounds like a rear wheel bearing. Does it go away or change when you put load on it? Of course it might be hard to hear over the exhaust note... but if it changes with load t

Hi Paul, Before you do that, grab a voltmeter and check the output of your "instrument stabilizer" that connects to the other stud on the temp gauge. If it's reading 12 volts, then it's causing the h

Hi all, A bit of correction is in order here... All other things being equal, the spark voltage is proportional to the plug gap. What that means is that IF you enlarge the gap, you will increase the

Hi Randy, I've heard of Mobil 1 causing low oil pressure indications (which, if the gauge isn't broken, means that you do, indeed, have low oil pressure), but my own experience with using Mobil 1 was

Hi Tom, I'd recommend against the insulation wrap. The wrapping is hard to keep clean, and it will absorb any oil, etc. that might drip from the valve covers, and then it's a serious fire hazard. Ove

The factory fan has four blades... so you're using a PO-installed fan. The ideal fan front-to-back location for any fan is such that about 1/2 to 2/3 of the blade is rearward of the shroud lip, but y
