    Just thought I would come by and see if anyone here could help me with a price estimate for a car. Some here know me from the A side so you will know this is a little outside of my wheelhouse.

    Fixture to press worm on/off steering shaft

    I finally got around to measuring the fixture today. Mine was made from a solid piece of stock 2.5 X 3.5 X 4.5. The holes for the bolts that make it a clamp were drilled first. Two are offset from the other two. The hole in the center is .8900 and was drilled after the clamp holes. The block...

    10 jokes only engineers will understand

    1. Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet. 2. To the optimist, the glass is half-full. To the pessimist, the glass is half-empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to...

With the throttle floored in second the engine cut out like it was out of gas so, I just let up thinking it was about to run out of gas. Shifted...

    A and B flywheels

    I have a B engine that a customer wants re-built. The engine had a Model A flywheel on it. I know the outside perimeter of the B flywheel is smaller than the A but is there a reason for this difference? I have an idea but am not sure of my notion. :confused:
