Actually actually, we're both correct. From Donald M. Healey's book _My World of Cars_ page 143: "Carroll Shelby was - and is - a great and very amusing character, driving for us in several of the r

Hello fellow SOLs; Sorry if this has been beaten to death some time in the past, but I'd like to get the collective wisdom from the net on stopping existing rust and preventing future rust. This is f

I believe this was from Dan Dasaro: These issues (engine breakin and oil) are the subject of much heated debate in the aviation community. Although aircraft engines are a little different, being air

No, that's a Bourbon tube 8=) Actually, I THINK Bourdon tubes are filled with air, or oil when they're used to measure oil pressure. I've heard of aircraft losing oil in the cockpit when they've rupt

The problem with the high lead content, at least in aircraft, is that residual lead can foul the spark plugs. This isn't a soft, sooty type of fouling like that caused by too rich a mixture, or MTBE

Got a question regarding oil coolers (occasionally, I think about putting one in my Healey then something breaks and I fix that instead). I would guess an oil cooler would have a quart or two of capa

Couple of questions for any and all takers: 1) Anybody used the "Splitfire" brand plugs? These are the plugs with a forked-tip side terminal. Supposedly the spark has greater "access" to the mixture
