pretty much the toughest months for fishing on clinton but the lake handed me a huge smallie PB in mid august.

i'm looking for data on the crank pulley hub from a '63-'64 type 1. if you have one, it should take very little time to do the measuring and post the data. here's what i need: 1 diameter of the hub, 2 width of the grooves, 3 width of the steel between the grooves 4 depth of the grooves, 5 number of grooves.

just a short hopefully fun for you stroll down my memory lane

how to properly vent the type 1 case (to avoid blowing oil past the pulley) and why. it's the why that separates my vids from the other vids out there. summary: don't vent your valve covers. unnecessary, counterproductive and it's a great way for the parts houses to grab a few $$$ from the naïve and the newbs.

too hot to camp so 4 nights in hotels. the high point walk took about 4.5 hours on a hot day. we also did a 4.25 hour walk in tallgrass. we stopped briefly at big basin prairie preserve which didn't have any bison. we briefly visited clark count state park and fishing lake which is very scenic. some of the drive on the gypsum hill scenic byway was very scenic. we also drove the flint hills scen...

includes last day of the spring white bass spawn in rock creek. picked up my first ever blue catfish. species featured are large and small mouth bass, bluegill, green sunfish, walleye, white bass, wiper, channel and blue catfish, drum, black and white crappie.

may 21 and may 27. i made a small ignition timing change but other than that, just a couple of nice days for a drive and an adventure out in the grass. empi header is holding up so far. one of the trips netted 28.7 mpg. thumbnail is a view looking south from the highest hill in the park.

this is the end of the oil cooling vids. there are other oiling mods that you can find while looking through the forums like: poking holes in the ends of the pushrods, poking holes in the bearing shells, gouging out grooves in the bearing shells. these oiling mods, like the hoover mod (excluding the rocker shaft groove mod), are steaming turds that reduce oiling safety margins and negatively im...

just my usual 220 mile round trip to tallgrass national preserve outside cottonwood falls and strong city. super nice day for a drive and hike. it was cool enough on the way home that i was glad i have heat. empi ss header is working fine so far.

i always expect to catch some 2 pound white bass this time of year but only caught one. picked up a nice wiper. first channel cat of the year. always manage to land a few crappie during their spawning time but the boat people always do better with them. north america's largest rodent makes an appearance. if you're local and it's still early may, the white bass spawn may still be on at rock cree...

this is an expensive header and i hate spending money but cip1 had it on sale in some sort of "march madness" promotion so managed to get it for about 20% less than it is normally offered. it was still over $200 though. so far so good. looking forward to putting some miles on old blue this year.

in KS, we don't have emissions checks so a little leakage is not a problem. the connector pipe was in stock at my local advance auto. with an online discount, the part was less than $5.

job done for less than $6 and no special electrical tools like crimpers are needed

i needed to get in there and replace the plugs anyway. so now i've got to do some wiring harness repairs too. plugs: NGK iridium BKR5EIX-11
