True, but another question is why it moved at all. One possibility is that the points wore abnormally or broke. If the cam follower wore away, the timing would have moved backwards (unless I've got i

Someone has led you astray, Bob. If your thermosat is calibrated for Fahrenheit then your radiator couldn't possibly be producing degrees Celsius. Unless of course a PO installed a degree converter,

Not necessarily. If the fan were in front of the radiator it would push. Did you happen to ask him the position of the radiator with respect to the fan, or perhaps the radiator with respect to the en

Yes, but that's only because the threads in the nut are on the inside. If you hold the nut steady and turn the bolt around to thread it into the nut from the other side, the bolt moves in the opposit

If the frame of reference is fixed you wouldn't need to work with the bolts at all. You're only doing all that because something is broken and needs fixing. Especially if they are frame bolts. -- Jim

What it "should be" and what is best aren't necessarily the same! I believe the GT6 came with Z-S at least in 1970. Mine has SUs, a pair of HS4s which a PPO installed. It took me some time to get the

I've been considering refreshing the oil in my Spitfire's OD-enabled gearbox. It's a rebuilt unit I got from Quantumechanics a few years ago. John Esposito recommended simply a non-detergent, single

That calls to mind a software story, possibly an urban legend but funny nevertheless, about the danger of code re-use. It seems the Aussie army wanted some training simulations for helicopter pilots.

A solid axle could absorb (or if you prefer, accommodate) the jerk of engagement by torquing and thus flexing the entire axle, diff, and suspension w.r.t. the frame. An IRS would transfer all that dy

That's exactly the difference. The torque on the IRS diff is countered by the mounts to the frame. So it is a "closed" system, engine to frame and engine to driveshaft, driveshaft to diff, diff to fr

Ah, I see where you are going... When the OD shifts, the engine speed must somehow match the wheels' roadspeed. Either the engine or the car or both, but mostly the engine, must change speed quickly.

Not to be pedantical or anything, but a clutch is simply one form of deformation. It is different from that of, say, a spring in that it absorbs energy irreversibly, converting it to heat. If the ene
