I ruined the "traditional" part of my dual QP's by welding on an O 2 bung.  Just put a spark plug in the bung when you're done reading mixtures and tell people it's part of a flamethrower kit. Any butterhead rockabilly will tell you that flamethrowers and girls covered with sideshow tattoos are traditional. That's an option. I'm trying to think of off the wall stuff I can do to really confuse the masses. I wonder if I can get a small enough flapper (like on a tractor trailer stack). Or maybe a whistle? |

I sand the front of my bay-window-to-be-cal-look to bare metal.  It's good to see some jobs done, it gives me a good shot of motivation  |

A night out in a warm, humid garage, trying to get an axle end cap to not leak.  Think I may have beaten it this time! |

Diagnosed a floppy clutch pedal last night, was hoping it was a bad cable, but cable is fine. Looks like engine is coming out for TO bearing/clutch fork diagnosis. Bummer!

Torqued my heads up. This time I set my torque wrench properly and so I didn't break any studs. Just have to slot the engine back in over the weekend and i'm off and running again. Yay!

I have some spare time to work tonight on my 1600 rebuild. I messed one of the threaded hole head stud while tapping it to M12. I have to use an M14 insert to save it. I drill it, gradually using larger drills. 11mm, 11.5mm and 12mm.  I used a drill press to be sure I was drilling it square. It's a cheapo drill press, but it gets the job done.  I didn't have T handle tap holder larger than M12. I bought a bigger one, and it's just ridiculously big Look like something to work on steam machine.  I have to remove one of the handle to tap it.  After doing the 3-pass threading, I cleaned all the holes and inserts with brake cleaner, blow them and put everything together with red loctite.  |

Not on any particular car, but the engine area in my unit is nearly finished! Rather than filling the space left by my '51 with more stuff, we've built a solid bench, blocked off some windows, lined the walls, added a strip light overhead and last night got the parts washer and engine stand ready to put in place. Just need to paint the floor and trim the worktop down.
So I should have space ready by the weekend to strip down a 1600 motor as a stopgap before the Sweep The Floor special. This thing always ran really strong, but really hot too, so I want to find out exactly why. Maybe cam timing? Whatever, it'll have a little more head work, and with the Scat C35 cam and 40 DRLAs it should be entertaining enough!
