I'm in the extreme minority it appears, but I'd cut them some. Might consider some sleeves to cover the ends. Not a big fan of any excess stud on anything. A nice cut-off wheel and some old lugnuts and they'd be shorter before you knew it.

Ferrari's parent company?

That's the casting number, the prefix and suffix. Sometimes the middle code is left out of a mold because all similar parts(blocks,heads etc.) have the same code and is irreleveant for casting info. The S would be a T-bird code although that doesn't mean it came from a 'bird, just that the...

I was probably the first in Illinois to use the new titling laws a few years ago. We went to the Sec of State office with a print out of the exact regulation from the Sec of State web page. We had to use an NSRA safety inspector that had the NSRA safety check sheet that is(was) used. The State...

The only thing that I know, I gathered from the link. It's not a Cleveland, it's a Windsor. A Cleveland would have been an interesting choice though.

Yes I do like my tools, that's why I bought them. I also bought them because of the warranty arrangement and the promise that there would always be a rep vist. Now I am not asking for a weekly visit, as my post suggests I have pretty much all the tools I need/want and those I do want are not...

With that investment/return ratio I would be a happy camper too. Unfortunately your case is probably on the far side. I think most Snap-Off buyers have a lot less return ratio.

Since I already have one of their largest boxes, I can't motivate myself to go to that effort. Besides, I don't initiate anything I don't want to follow through on. I am sure that they would drag my credit through the dirt over a tool box I have and don't want another. I'm content at the present...

Are you referring to the really low one that used valve springs in the suspension?? I think it may have been the first UOP Shadow. I'd bring back the T70, GT40 and NTM.

(I felt this the appropriate spot since tools are required to build ay type of car..especially a GT40. If it should be elsewhere, I am sure it'll be moved.) I know, I own a bunch. This is the first post( I will be posting the same on all the forums I am a member of as well as running a local...

Ian, it seems like common physics that anything that is warming will continue to warm, even if by increments, when cooling cycles never take them significantly below the rising temps. My biggest objection to the whole debacle is the " absolution" that those that want to implement laws( read...

I haven't read all the posts, but did get through about 7-8 pages. The discussions regarding conservative/liberal thought always give me pause. I doubt there are that many people that fit into those 2 neatly defined categories, most people are wider thinking that either of those 2 "positions"...

I recall that there were issues with the Caddie 8-6-4. That is not to say there aren't some that have tons of miles, but there were issues with the system. I have had several high mileage Fiats, but wouldn't suggest those as any stellar auto...but I like them, maybe the fact that I have been a...

I think you are trying to determine exhaust configuration with no regard for engine configuration. Most V8 engines are 90* and a Harley is 45, that is part of the "odd fire" sound. As far as drag engines go, most operate in a very small power window and higher class cars with blowers are not...

I believe there are some valve cover spacers available to remedy any roller rocker interference. They aren't that thick and would likely go unnoticed in most applications.

The valve covers you describe are the late 60s and on design...probably 67-68, that were standard Ford issue. I haven't seen any GT40 pics that had them, although they may have been used on the street MKIII. As pointed out both versions are available through several Mustang suppliers. I think...

I really took no personal offense Russ. I do realize we are talking about funding the forum, and Ron seems to want to create or leave in place whatever works the best. I wish to see that happen. In my rambling reply I was trying to illustrate the range of difference and arbitrary standard...

I appreciate your assessment of my overall position, especially with no personal knowledge of me. You are a true psyhic. Since you were so adept at seeing my post count you surely also noticed the extent of time I have been a member...4 years, that is about 40 posts a year ( I'll give you the...

I didn't do the poll, but have read all the input. As someone that is/has considered advertising on the forum I only want a clear set of standards, whatever they may be.I build cars, I am the only employee, but I do have a website. The suggestion that because someone has a website should...
