Glad I could help.

Here is some general information and terms with regard to camshafts for those of you who get confused about these monster torque producing items. I teach auto tech at a local college and the information below came out of my cam notes. Degrees Of Separation A camshaft's lobe-separation angle...

I like your thoughts and agree that a gathering at the statehouse would be fitting. But, if a vehicle has no title or no V.I.N. number, there would be no way to know if it is lost or stolen, which is why you would have to secure a new V.I.N. and title. The new procedure is not easy and in fact...

FYI...New rules and regulations since this past spring! You made it just before the changes.

Glad I could help. Toyota and Nissan actually used these types of starter switches, which is where I recognized it from. I am an automotive instructor in the auto and diesel department at our local college and knew where to find the info for you.

Don't even want to think about the alternatives!

I understand the term rat rod, but I am all about the paint! Don't get me wrong, to each their own, but to me there is nothing better than a beautifully painted and well put together street rod. I don't want banned from this site and there is a lot of worthy information here, but if I had an old...

The timing gear does not need to be balanced for an internally or externally balanced engine. It will not have any effect of balancing. I use to work for Beck Racing Engines in Phoenix, Arizona when going to tech school back in the 80's and I had this same question come up back then. It is a...

This looks very much like a diesel starter switch. If so, take a look at what I have below and see if it makes any sense. There is a chart included in the lower right for each key position and which lug is active.

I believe the original question may have been indicating about women in pin-ups, magazines, and in the automotive area. My response would be this: The automotive market has been predominantly known as a "man's market". This is why magazines in all facets of the automotive world depict women in...

Met a guy here in town who has what was once a 5 window coupe rat rod. The roof had been cut off of it when he got it and he added a front windshield. It has a balanced and blueprinted Chrysler engine in it and is drivable. He wants $4500 for it. It has a quick release sprint car steering wheel...

I would have wet myself had I opened up the hood and found that staring back at me!

Father in Heaven, I ask that you wrap your loving arms around this family during their tough loss of a child. I pray for their comfort and faith. We know that baby Michael is in Heaven with you Lord for a reason...You wanted him with You, Lord. I pray this family finds grace and comfort through...

We were given the book first by my best friend and his wife, then I bought the movie. The movie follows the book to a "T". Very sad. We have two Labs in our house, both brothers. One of them has the Labrador Retriever hereditary myopathy disease, which is a form of Muscular Dystrophy. It is sad...

Sounds good.

I'll give you $500 cash and pay for the truck to be shipped to Iowa!

The new law in Iowa states the vehicle must have a clear title. According to the D.O.T. man in my area of the state, even if there is a VIN plate, a clear title must also be held. If there is a VIN plate and no title, you must go through the entire process. I don't understand this unless the VIN...

We got 5" last night, for the first time this year and now are under a Winter Storm Warning through Wednesday and expected to get over a foot of that "stuff" along with sleet! Yuck!

I have pretty much given up on finding an old street rod or rat rod due to Iowa's change in getting a car titled. Heard the new Iowa law that came into play this year with regard to getting an untitled car titled is ridiculous and near impossible. The new law states all door handles must be in...

Two words for you...Gorgeous and Jealous! That car is gorgeous and I am jealous!![cl
