  1. Maybe the crap in the tank is too large to pass through the filter screen in the tank. It just blocks it up instead
  2. I would use a small electric fuel pump and some hose sections and maybe a small tube section and pump it out into another container. Diesels can get algae in the tank but I've never heard of that in a gasoline car...

  4. I like foil tape. I use it a lot at work. It sticks really well and is nice and malleable
  5. Modern cars tend to run a little lean at cruise. You just have to be careful. Too lean will burn valves and damage pistons
  6. Foil tape doesn't hold paint well. It might if it doesn't move much
  7. I do not know if the afr number to the fuel supply is directly relatable I dont believe a super lean afr is 0 fuel and pig rich is an Afr of 1. Its a ratio so an afr of 1, is 1 part air to 1 part fuel. How is each part measured? What is the unit? Stoic is 14.7:1 So if you're at 16:1 your fuel needs to go up by 8.8% I believe, maybe, possibly...
  8. Not that I know of. It would give you an idea of where the stations need to change and whether a little or a lot but I dont think you can calculate exact station size required from wide band afr numbers. You would also need a visual reference for piston height (station being metered) at a given AFR. There are quite a few SU needles available with station sizes but like tuning webers there is some educated guesswork
  9. No way to remove that, that I know of. The discoloration is normally caused by delamination of the plastic layer in the middle from one of the pieces of glass. If most of it will be covered I would install it. I wouldn't use a sealant unless the windshield leaks. If it does, you should be able to pry up the edge and squirt it under at the leak locations
  10. I believe one switch has two wires and the only one
  11. @nix240z Steve, Did you ever reproduce these?
  12. I think its easier to put the glass in first
  13. Question: I ordered the S30 door weatherstrips. They should be here shortly. Do they get glued on or does the windlace hold it well enough?
  14. I don't think it will matter if the OD and ID are correct
  15. I tried to find the screws I bought but I can't locate them and I can't find the Amazon order. I'm sure I ordered them from Amazon. Stainless screws. Some of them are surprisingly long. I don't know size or pitch
  16. The testers normally seal just like the radiator cap which seals the port to the overflow tank
  17. If it wont hold air pressure, a spray bottle with soapy water might help You only need about 15#s of pressure for testing
  18. Radiator pressure tester kit. You might be able to rent one at Advanced or O'Reilly's https://www.amazon.com/Wenzhon-Universal-Radiator-Pressure-Portable/dp/B0CGCFJMWH/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?crid=1Y3GEZC1H9R7L&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Zv1uDI4wRuNhnjzVSXnqe6epWI1Tlm2TCYwwUX2EuzkCkrXSzuaODd25gTSdSTd_LASMcJa_XFrk0l_CdwIdM1euxqinKYdGaVqrJuwCfyEAlwtyUYvXsMAHWxHHaUu9kM01qb9d3yRE36ovjHs5ycAahmRenWuN081YpACboBs3x4wuRAc5sjzhXCr55iFRihIQj5OK7AH177O6YGx3Lw.gI0qtQs6WzHwGvreJn6Kk0ttfdK1ZBbDoZqfEQrhqVw&dib_tag=se&keywords=radiator+pressure+tester+kit&qid=1740713681&sprefix=radiat%2Caps%2C142&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1
  19. I have sealed my cabinet well but I still have a number of leaks too. I used strip LEDs in my cabinet too. The waterproof type inside the rubber rib. I buy cheap glass from Home depot for the view area. I think glass might be cheaper than plexi these days. I got some tee handle screws in for making the glass quick change. My next upgrades will probably be the shields that help prevent the media collecting on the ledges inside the cabinet
  20. We have formulated a plan. We'll see how it goes....
  21. My next place is gonna be about a 1200 sq ft cabin and an 8000 squ ft shop. My 1000 squ ft shop is nowhere near enough and I want inside storage for all my cars
  22. Yes, I believe I did. Let me look around

  24. My plating tank was pretty cloudy so Shelley and I filtered it today I have no idea what this is, I filtered out. My wife thinks it just garbage. She's a chemist. I have no idea. I did plate today but it took a while to get acceptable results. Lot's of brightener. I'm still not pleased with all of it. I bought a 40 Amp power supply last week because my 10Amp just isn't enough sometime. The problem with the 40 Amp power supply is it has no resolution a lot amperages. So for little things I still have to use the 10 amp power supply. I have new zinc anodes coming this week. So I will tweak the tank some more. I tried to plate a carb water bypass tube today. It didn't do right. I probably need a different shaped tank to plate some of these long narrow parts
