Those who saw me win the superlottojackpot at this past year's Salt Talks will be pleased to know that those bucks have been frivolously wasted--er, CAREFULLY INVESTED in a future salt rod. A coupla

Isn't any fastener of different metal subject to corrosion no matter what "coating" is put on? (I'll make an exception for platings/anodizings that provide a crush- and abrasion-resistant interface).

I think video's standard frame rate is approximately 30 frames per second. And the shutter speed obviously can't be slower than 1/30 second, but can go WAY faster, depending on the sensitivity of the

As I recall, one can run the driveshaft angles (with regular U-joints) either up or down at either end as long as the angles (or absolute value of same) are similar. This presumably will make any vel

Well, lessee, a brake system has rubber-type compounds in it that are made for glycol brake fluids, not ATF mineral oil-based compounds. Still sound like a good idea to use ATF? I don't think so. Ben

Typical brake fluids (DOT 3 and 4) are polyalkylene glycol ether, and absorb water (up to about 3% max). That's why many systems have a bellows-type seal so that no opening to the atmosphere is requi

I've wondered about this too. Comments I've heard ranged from "90% of the vehicles out on the salt have spools" (which I doubt), to "don't ever run a spool on the salt". I think a moderate limited sl

My sense is that the injector coils don't want to be exposed to constant 180-200F.....I'd guess the engine compartment is usually in the 150F range....but this is more than a little speculative. And
