I wanted the kick down function on the Mach1. I used Holley PN 20-49-1, Throttle Shaft Kit (now out of production) I found on ePay. The kit comes with the kick down screw, retainer, return spring, bracket, and screw. It is a relatively straight forward swap. The only part that can be tricky is...

Asking for input on good 8000 lbs. 4 post lifts for hobbyist use and storage. There seems to be a lot of different names on what seems to be pretty much the same lift. The prices seem to vary a lot more than the construction or features and accessories. I have a Direct Lift but I've had it 12...

Has anyone here measured your drill press run out? If so, what number did you measure? I need to drill some very small (.025-.090) holes in brass set screws. So the run out really matters. Mine is currently measuring .0035". All responses are appreciated. Chuck

I found the MSD 6AL ignition box was causing a parasitic drain of 40-50mA. I sent it to MSD to be repaired. They fixed it for $80.55. A bargain compared to the cost of a new box. Turn-around time was about two weeks not counting shipping days. They replaced 3 transistors, two resistors, and a...

This is a good article on coated and uncoated bearings as well as conventional oil and synthetic oil. It is long, so if nothing else scroll to the last page. Chuck https://www.kingbearings.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/The-Secret-Life-of-Bearings-1.pdf

I have wasted a lot of time trying to ACCURATELY determine what the different color stripes on modulators really means. After wasting a lot of time searching the misinformation internet I have no definitive answer to that question. Is it diaphragm size, spring pressure, adjustment position from...

The selector shaft seal is leaking, and no, the lockdown O-ring did not fix the leak (I don't hav that kind of luck). I think I have the process figured out except, how to remove the seal without buggering the case up. The manual mentions some specialty tools that I can not find anywhere...

Has anyone used the Lokar KD-20C6 kick down kit? If so, has anyone used it with a Holley DP carb that did not come with ford kick down. Second question; Has anyone used Holley kit 20-49-1 and stock kick down rod to accomplish the same thing? Thanks, Chuck

I'm looking into installing a flow through electric pump just to refill the float bowls after the car sits for a few days or weeks. I found this one https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=83 And believe it or not, it is made in the USA. I was sure Facet had gone off shore by...

Has anyone tried the adjustable PCV valve from M/E Wagner? If so, what benefits did you see. If someone has tried one on an engine with an aggressive cam, I would be interested in the results. Thanks, Chuck
