    Rex-a-co Temperature Gauge problem

    There are places that specialize in this type is gauge repair. I haven't used one in many years though, so I cant recommend one. If your gauge has a long tube with a bulb at the end (I think so), its filled with ether gas. As the temp goes up, so does the pressure of the gas. So in reality...

    Fuel Line, Shut-Off Valve to Firewall: Why Made Of Hard Steel?

    Yep, that's my take on it also. So it seems that the 'hard' state of the original tubes was an unintentional result of the tube forming process. Heating and quenching may have contributed to the hard state of the original tubes as well. Its interesting that the repop suppliers have elected to...

    Really? In your world, just because you don't care, that means nobody cares :confused: Such lack of vision and perception :( The purpose of my question is actually stated in the first post. Those who have open minds will see a direction that I'm heading. I stated in the first post: "This is...

    spark plug gap

    People are recommending a stock gap size for you, and that's good. If you have a stock ignition system and engine, then that spec is fine. The system is also forgiving in that if you change the gap slightly, nothing bad will happen. Its also true that many folks on this forum run their gaps...
