There’s a fairly in-depth story in Bloomberg’s right now on the subject. The key reason Genuine Parts Group is even looking at ANYTHING is because they want to differentiate their Motion business from the NAPA business. Motion is more industrial and HD truck business. When I was with NTN...

Ain’t nothing wrong with Price’s blue pump plunger. I’ve got one in my Edelbrock 94 that I just freshened up a couple of months ago. That entire pump well and linkage design is “interesting”….. and we’ll leave that at that. Not how I picture an ideal design though. Crack kills, comes to mind. I...

I’ve got a set on my F-1. H&H put them on when I got the engine done around Covid-time. I’ve got Autolite in my Navarros. NOTHING is stock on the engine, ignition-wise. Has modded GM distributor, magnetic p/u coil, solid state ignition, etc. No issues with plug fouling or carbon buildup...

This is maybe about three weeks old; it gives some background…..

Fram was under the First Brands umbrella.

Re: ‘48 Ford F1 Camber The axle will have an angle called king pin inclination (KPI) built into the king pin bosses when viewed from the front. KPI along with the angle built into the spindles determines camber. So….. you’d have to compare the factory KPI and know the camber of whatever spindle...

I used the POR15 sealer on one about 4 years ago. No issues yet, even with the stuff that they call gas out here in California. I think Absolute Coatings makes the POR15 tank sealer kit contents.

Dual points improve coil saturation at high rpm. A flathead operates at what rpm?

We used green at a place I worked in the early nineties. Basically “gluing” a bronze bushing sleeve in place. After that stuff set, that bushing wasn’t moving for love or money…..
