We have a home treatment system whereby we pump in pond water into two tanks where the water is treated by iodine, injected with an alum solution, then run thru sand and charcoal filter and finally thru a 1um final filter. The system works well and I have no complaints. To save myself driving...
My intention is to drill and tap a drain plug into a Ford 4R75E torque converter. Until just recently, they were drilled from the factory but they have since stopped. I intend to drill it in the same relative position of the OE converter through the very convenient bellhousing hole, which they...
A thread below on "mules vs prototypes" leads me to another question, one that we auto historians hotly debate. In the writing game, the terms, "Pilot Model" and "Prototype" are often interchanged. I think there would be distinct differences between the two but since we seem to have a fair...
Let me get to the meat first. We will be needing new tires soon and I plan to upgrade to a slightly taller 16 inch tire to correct a built-in speedo error (see below). I'm reviewing revs per mile on the existing tires as well as some taller alternatives. In order to make my calculations more...

1) Has anyone run across a formula for calulating airflow through an EFI throttle body, e.g. an X-mm throttle body can flow Y-cfm?

I'm trying to pin down if there is an industry standard material for use in axle shafts for the OE manufacturers in drive axles of the Salisbury or Hotchkis (what few remain in the car and light truck realm) types. The old standby has always said that SAE 1040 was common, but other sources are...
