Remember the difference between freeze protection vs burst protection. Everyone here is using freeze protection numbers, but to protect the block from cracking what you want to pay attention to is burst protection. Freeze protection: The temperature at which crystals start to form. This...

This. Why pay more for water? The floating balls method doesn't 'rise' to much accuracy, the number of balls floating just gives a step indication. There is no in between measurement. Also, let it stabilize for a few minutes, any micro bubbles clinging to a ball will give inaccurate...

I've been to a lot of auctions as well. A number of the auctioneers will guarantee a minimum price to the seller in order to get the consignment. The shills then bid it up until the minimum is met. This is essentially the same thing as a "reserve" price on Ebay. The shills are very good at...

I've owned aircraft in the past, and may again in the future, but they will be Faster than 150 kts, IFR equipped I won't get wet if it rains, Doesn't have a belt drive magneto, and doesn't require goggles. So probably not.

"Marine" can mean a legitimate deep cycle design. This won't do as well for a starting battery. It can also mean a hybrid that is for small sailboats, outboards, etc, that are expected to start engines and run lights and accessories when the engine is off for brief periods. And then it might...

Adapted from flying: One of two things will happen. One day you will walk up to your Model A not knowing it will be your last time. One day you will walk up to your Model A knowing it will be your last time.

I don't follow this. Power and starter speed is not dependent on voltage, it's a function of design, the windings, and enough current at the battery to run it. Of course you could build a 6V starter to be more powerful. The reason we build 12 volt systems, (and most modern aircraft at 24V...

If so, I'd be happy to tool around in a 30's Packard roadster. Red please, with a camel top.

I'm not sure what you're asking - Are you asking about the thumbnail display that is a default in this board's software? usually when you click on the thumbnail, you get a larger version, but again not the full size of the file. Or are you asking about non thumbnail displayed image size...

What time period ae you experiencing this with? I notice if I take time thinking about a post, or get interrupted and come back to it, when I go to submit the post I was logged out. However, if you log in using that form presented it accepts the post. (Other forums I use don't do this, if you...

I agree 3/4 inch is more than adjustment. Are you sure the movement is in the shaft and not the wheel? Maybe the wheel is loose on the shaft. Hate to have you pull the whole shebang if it's something else. Pull out the light switch/horn button and have a look. Or, with a helper, pull the...

What problem with engine access? I have a '30 Tudor with Driver's sidemount, and have both removed the starter and the steering gear with no issues.

Yes, many people focus on just the spraying and cost, long term maintenance, durability, color retention and repair blending ability should factor into any paint decision.
