I actually get more fuel smell from permeation on the vette after I replaced all the 40 year old rubber lines with proper ethanol rated ones than it did before I touched anything. I guess those old goodyear fluroelastomer lines were pretty good.

I've seen replacement coils cause all sorts of weird running issues. What kind of coil did you use?

I'm impressed with the sticker. I ordered the whole set for my truck. (14,000 pages) and they didn't give me a sticker. :(

You could pull the prop and measure the shaft diameter. That would at least eliminate a TR drive if you can't get most of the serial. It would be 1.25". Beyond that I've never seen one of these and dad only ever saw them at merc school. Try and lift the serial.

You can potentially lose upwards of 25% of range by 200k miles. The vast, vast majority of people don't keep cars that long. At that milage and most likely age, anything exceeds the value of the vehicle in most cases. For the average person, that's 16 years of vehicle ownership. I get it. That's...

My shift shaft seal "passed" a pressure test until you simulated shifting, then it started to leak.... very slowly. Definitely worth checking both of those.

If it's all metal, just toss in an oven at 300. We had some lab equipment you had to epoxy a test sample to. When finished you had to clean/remove the epoxy from the plate. Due to the chemical structure of "epoxy" they soften under moderate heat and you can clean them. Ethanol works well with...

Muc, I had an auto engine with a fueling problem. Would add a ton of injector duty cycle at certain RPM, pull it back higher up and then come back at double the initial problem RPM. Took months of diagnostic to figure out what was causing it. Problems only occurred at steady state rpm, similar...

Lou boats where I used to boat and gets the same weather. He'll be fine. Just pump it a few extra times. :LOL: Joking aside, it was a much easier start once I fixed the choke.

NJ makes it very difficult to get E0 or E85 for the spicy cars. :cautious: I've been all over the state and never seen E0... anywhere else it usually isn't too difficult to find.

I'd hate to see what 100 octane costs on the water... 4 total stations in my state, not even worth the hassle.

Do you even really need it? The choke didn't work on my 3.0l for like 15 years.

E10 gets this almost sand like depositing if left to evaporate over and over in carbs. E0 develops a varnish like residue. Both aren't good. My take has always been proper care of the fuel system results in very little issues. The majority of carb rebuilds I have done are because it wasn't used...

As someone currently battling this lovely state and how expensive it is... Brilliant, and I mean Brilliant move.

I'm looking to do a partial retirement around 50.... Still work but either go to part time or consulting. Depending on what I am doing at that point, maybe I stick around longer or not where I currently am. The men in my family don't typically make it much past their 60s so I'm trying to enjoy...

I ignore it.

No no. Bar, yes. Brewery no. What the difference is I couldn't actually tell you. Actually I can. Its to protect the bar lobby because that type of liquor license is much more difficult to obtain. But you can have a brewery that is open to the public, open a resturant that only sells your...

I always forget it is only NJ that prohibits breweries from serving food at the same location and that it's actually not normal.

My machine shop is still 2k for a complete short block and rebuild to whatever specs you want. 2400 for a long block. I can blow up a lot of 350s for that

Dad just misses working on boats in general. :confused:
