    Armando's oil pan dip stick

    Gald you got it sorted out. I ended up having removed one from the pan before it went to the engine shop and it looks just like that. What I want to see is how a dipstick is made with it ;-) Sandy

    Roll-over valves

    Do you mean the flap type of device that you see in the fuel cells? I don't think so unless maybe on one of the cars that dues use a bladder. I don't think any provision are made for one. Take a look at the ATL and Fuel Safe site you will see the ones in the cells and I think they may also have...

    Armando's oil pan dip stick

    You will not have any luck with email. Armondo and company (his wife) are not really internet savvy and the last time I spoke with them a few months before they moved to TX. His wife mentioned he also had a computer virus and were unsure what to do about it all, so site got messed up too to some...

    Armando's oil pan dip stick

    I have one on a mustang pan that is at the shop so I can't take a look right now but from what I remember one side of it (top) was a compression fitting and ferrule but can't remember if the pan was a pipe thread or straight. It's hard to tell from the photo what it is as it is a bit out of...

    MSD Ignition or Weber Carb Issue?

    You can also use water in a spray bottle (mist), will change the idle if you have some air sucking in where not supposed to. Not as fun sounding as propane ;) Very interesting thread that confirms again that I do love the look of Webers but would never want them as it seems you need a lot of...

I think this thread has the links and all the nice attachments for the rails that make it easy. no messing with my nice orange rims ;-)...

    GULF OIL Racing PANTONE &CMYK Equivalents

    Note on the Gulf colors are they for the Corporate logo from Gulf International? Those are not the car colors as I recall. The blue is not the same, not sure about the orange. You can also find it as it was a production color on porsche 911's in the era, I think it was the same and should still...

    917 Engine start..... after 30 years !!!!

    Just seemed odd in any case to spray quick start in to the beast rebuilt or not. Still was cool starting it. It did remind me of me and my buddies in high school working on my Big Block Chevelle, but we just poured gasoline in until it fired :thumbsup: Sandy

    917 Engine start..... after 30 years !!!!

    I love the video, just needed a couple of the guys drinking beer. Quickstart will start anything (and mount tires), but don't ya' might be a better way to get something like that fired up? When ever I have used it one some $hit boxes you can hear the knock as it starts up seems harsh to do to...

    Name that pulley

    Have no idea about that pulley, but you can also look a sunbeam tiger stuff, they have a very short pulley to the point where you have to push back the flange on the water pump about 1/4" to make it all line up. They are hard to find but some of the Tiger guys make them out of aluminum. They are...

    "Albins" 930 & G50 gear sets unlimited

    I think the gear boxes that I have had done all have gears from them. I think they are one of the few makers for the 930, not 100% but that is what I recall as it took a long time to get the specific ratios I wanted. By the time my boxes were done I had the thought of doing a straight cut gear...

    Porsche 930 4 speed transaxles

    I have 3 of them and have never blow one up ;-) Well never actually ran one yet. But they seem pretty durable as far as gearboxes goes, talked to a few people before going with it. The Ring and Pinion is pretty stout as well as the rest of the parts in the box. I think some of the downside is...

    Synthetic, or is it SIN-thetic

    The bits that could have got into the screen might have been small, but will need to tear it down. The motor was warmed for a bit before it went out, but still high oil pressure. Not sure if a bigger bypass would help (or if possible). Standard HV Melling pump. So will have to take it apart to...

    Synthetic, or is it SIN-thetic

    It was in my 331 SBF Mustang. It was a cold day too, and oil pressure did not come down even after a good warm up until very far along on the track. The pump shaft was a Ford Racing Products version from what it looked like. Twisted off at the point where the hex meets the cylinder portion in...

    Synthetic, or is it SIN-thetic

    LN Engineering has a ton of good stuff, I think I posted that a long while ago when they actually had content (Zn/P) of many different brands of motor oils but I have not seen it on their site the last time I looked. I think they want you to send in your oil to have it analized now for a small...
