    Gunsmithing cerakote removal options

    Respectfully. This has been an issue with guns and Ceracote from the day it was created. If you troll around the NIC website, you'll find that it is intended to go on with a "one mil" film thickness. According to Google that equates to .001" (one thousandths) of an inch. If everything is...

    Can these feed ramps be saved?

    If this were mine or here, I'd pull it from the barrel, blast it, and throw it back in a park tank.

    Gunsmithing This week's Winchester fix.

    This was Winchester's attempt to make a T slot work as a Control Round Feed from a few decades ago. The T slot decided to amputate itself from the bolt head. A little -puter modeling followed by some welding and machining saves it from the grave.

    My 427 blower motor project.

    I wonder how that'd work for an IAT. Voltage/ohms, etc... I'll do some checking.

    My 427 blower motor project.

    Holley Dominator MSD Pro600 Im not switching to an OEM throttle body as I'd prolly need 5 of them to equal what the blower already has. The blower has a pair of throttle plates. Each is almost the size of a common smartphone. What I've done is purchase a couple 2015 era GM pickup throttle...

    My 427 blower motor project.

    With us, its automatic. If it dips below a predetermined level, it pulls timing and keeps it pulled. Fuel pressure is also managed this way. Modern engine management hardware and the programming makes it pretty easy to set a car up as non suicidal.

    My 427 blower motor project.

    They took a minute, lol. Fortunately, I have some friends who are very talented at this stuff. I made the flanges, then spent a week fetching tools and holding shit while he worked.

    My 427 blower motor project.

    A few moments where I depreciate the value of my neighborhood. Living amongst senior citizens has its advantages during times like this, as most are deaf as a post. The data log reveals some interesting stuff. Idle lands around 1050rpm once it warms up. A 0-100% throttle whack sends the...

    India vs Pakistan

    Ever listen to an Annie Jacobson interview regarding nukes? It's sobering. I grew up on SAC bases and my ol man worked on Minute Man silos as a facility manager in the 80s and 90s. I was so ignorant to the evil that exists in the holes I used to drive tractors by as a kid working on a farm in...

    HoOdRaT 3.0..... Blown 421 LSX.

    That only took two years...lol. Once all the mechanical things were handled, the fun started....(software, lol) Holley parrots much of its software off of GM LS based stuff. Reluctor wheel/Cam sensor latency was the bug we had to squash in order to get it to fire. The magnet triggered...
