One of the small things that has puzzled me about GM's steering box mounting on my Sub is the use of spacers on the inside of the frame 'C' rail, and the required longer bolts. I figured that it was not an accident, but hadn't been able to conjure up a reason why. Moss2's post makes complete sense t...

Before you get too envious, I've been told by a higher-up that he isn't sure that our company has funding through the end of the year. If that is the case I've 3 days of employment left and no firm prospects.

Maybe start with what is the intended use?

Guys, NWMP had a rash of EB tanks that had 'stuff' in them. Before you install, do a thorough cleaning of the inside of the tank.

Aren't these a recovery system? Does the Moroso part have a siphon tube fitted to the top fitting, or do you just leave the valve on and hook the radiator to the bottom fitting?

My suggestion would be to first play with what rpm range the engine likes to run at (assuming no dyno graph). You're looking for the rpm that the engine delivers the best cruise mileage at. One of my non-Fords has 285's & 3.73's. It wants to run above 65 mph in OD or the engine lugs and the mileage ...

What is your experience with those?
What I've frequently seen is that the plate stays with the vehicle, but the urethane goes MIA when they start getting worked hard. I've not used them though, just my observation. I have used the Nissan parts fairly hard and am impressed with them.

[hijack]Probably the most famous pic of it:

There is a bunch of posts about it on POoR, they called it the "transformer" until the name that Cam gave it became known. Note the 5.0 SEFI engine? That wasn't an accident.[/hijack]

A change in cross section, like in adding a welded-on plate or a hole for that matter, is a stress riser. What ever you do, the idea is to mitigate that as much as possible. How ever you shape the edges of the plates, you can pass through running straight vertical, just don't dwell there.

I run the Nissan bumps on the rear of Patch. Thanks Chris for the suggestion years ago. I'm about to install a set on the front as Patch does have the room though the height is a bit of a concern. No, Patch is not a Bronco. I've only ever seen what this page shows, but these might be interesting - o...

ORC hosted the second email list that I was ever on (Broncofix was the first). This was way before these forum-thingy's came around. I met several notable names via that list. I quit the list when a certain person became the mod (STILL a thankless job! :beer:) and hadn't really looked at ORC since. ...

That would be me. I'm here because of TZ, it's all his fault.

Any other tt alumni around here?
