Okay, the English major in me rebels. It is not "fule" (repeatedly misspelled, so it's not accidental). Fer chrissakes, it's "fuel." Period. And, this problem can be identified as a fuel delivery pro

Umm, this is sort of true, and sort of not. The question originally was if the car makers are doing it, what's the reason? I think it's quite simple. Ever since the thermostats on most production eng

Danes on the list will do better, but my guess is that "SOLGT" is probably an acronym for "price on application" or "price on inquiry," because the rest of the ad says something like "arrange for app

Back in the `50s, when I lived in Houston, a neighbor with a new Pontiac determined that, because water/alcohol injection was used on bombers to boost thrust on take-off, it would work well in cars,

SKF is Swedish, I think. They're a good quality bearing, probably as good as Timken. You might be able to get better quality at a good price by getting the existing bearing numbers and doing a little

Umm, the distributor turns at one-half crankshaft speed, so it takes 720 deg. of crank travel to complete one full round of the distributor. Measurements based on 360 deg. are in dist. degrees, not c

I think it depends upon how chamber preparation one does. Milling the head and just slapping it on will likely cause problems, if only because of the sharp edges from the milling. Attending to those,

From standard conversion charts, 1 Kg of hydrogen has very nearly the same fuel value as one gallon of gasoline (1.04 gal). For most valved gasoline engines, fuel consumption is about 1/2 pound per h
