    Engine Tuning Issues

    Good plan. He not only sells the product, but he will stay with you and coach you through the tuning until it is right.

    Engine Tuning Issues

    It is a total change in performance. The engine has no more hesitation whatsoever at any speed. I can floor it from a standstill and spin the tires without any bog. I highly recommend this and Wayne is a gem. In fact he continues to contact me just to check in on the performance. Good luck.

    And the fight was on

    Good stuff Mike, it is real food for thought. I will probably get rid of my K & N filters that came with mt original set up. In adidition, from what i have gleened here, I promise I won't build a T-Bucket with a turbo charged Cummins Diesel either. I think the diesel comment was the whisky...

    Dot 5 vs. everything else

    I have used DOT 5 in my Harley's for at least 15 years with no issues. I do flush the fluid every 2 years though. I used the same in my car and have a rock hard pedal. When I bleed the system, I use a hose set up back to an empty bottle.

    does this make my rear end look like a girl?

    Russ, Reading between the lines of your original post, you didn't like the rail to begin with and went "forum shopping" so seek confirmation of what you already knew. I think when you really like something, you know it and don't ask others to confirm your liking it. When you have something...

    Dipstick tube

    Since you didn't mention it, are you referring to the engine, or trans dip? I have Lokar on my trans dip and it has an O ring for sealing. The machined aluminum piece slides right in. Are you sure that you have the correct one for your application? A

    I was wondering what a wet blanket sounds like, now I know. LOL :D

    Engine Tuning Issues

    Speaking of sweating, I don't think that I mentioned that the upper manifold (new parts) get ice cold when the engine is running. Even though the tunnel below does warm up after a while from heat transfer from the engine, thus far even after an hour long drive the tops stay cold. The other...

    Engine Tuning Issues

    Since the advertisement offered a full money back guarantee and when I spoke with the owner, he affirmed this, I was waiting until I saw the positive results before I sent the parts off for ceramic coating to match the Weiand piece below. The carbs are Quick Fuel 570s and the jetting is...

    Thanks Screamin, it does look pretty cool, but moreover it resolved the low range off the line vomiting. ;)

    Engine Tuning Issues

    Here is all I have thus far. Not the best since I took it with my phone.

    Engine Tuning Issues

    Okay, I got the set up and installed it this past weekend. The tuning for the most part was as simple as stated in the advertisment, which was set the idle and go. I now have slightly greater vacuum than before, but the performance is absolutely AMAZING. There is tremendous throttle response...

    Steering column and wheel Keyway...

    Be sure that you have the correct key width. The woodruf key, if properly fit should only be a few thousandths of an inch narrower that the key slot. I have seen people make a key from ??? if they lost the original one. The key is hardened to prevent sheer and ultimately failure so be sure...

    Custom Interior

    Well, I have definately decided that when I get ready to do the interior, I will happily spend too much to have it done by a professional. I know my limits and the only threads that I want to play around with are on the forums. I guess I am just not cut from the right cloth. Lol

    T-Boy Body

    Thank you for the kind words. This project was my psychotherapy when I was out of work.

    Fiberglass over spray foam?

    Polyester resin over polyurethane spray foam (like "great stuff") is fine. Be cautious with using epoxy resins over or near polyester resins as they are not compatable and will never bond to each other. It may seem like they do, but will quickly delaminate from one another causing a failure.

    Top radiator hose

    Don't all t-stats already have a small hole in them on the outer ring? Everyone that I have ever bought has??
