Hi Guys, Been awhile since I've been here. Hopefully someone can relate to this. I have a 1970 c.i. ford 6 cyl. Rebuilt recently. I bought it off of e-bay, sight unseen. I know, that was my first mistake. The water jacket in the block has a hair line crack, about 8 inches long, about 5 inches...

Hi Guys, I posted this earlier in the wrong spot. We have a new tiltmeter designed to use on the blade of a dozer or grader. It mounts with heavy magnets, and I have 2 left that read in percent, and one left in degrees. You may remember, we have asked TBN members for their input on some of our...

Hi Guys, I have not posted for awhile, but I do stop by sometimes to read up on what's going on. We now have a few new lighted tiltmeters, and, as in the past, I would like to have a few guys willing to test them. I will send a model#25 lighted to the first 4 guys to request one. Free of charge...

I am still working on the postal jeep with the built 302 Mustang engine. Runs Great. Got me to thinking. I know, that can be a dangerous thing!!! I know a blower on the intake of an engine can greatly increase horsepower. What if a small 12 volt high power fan was installed on top of carb...

Hi Guys, Well, I am much closer to putting the new V-8 in the old postal jeep. However, the altenator on the jeep has posts marked "B", "1" and "2". The mustang altenator is marked "B" "field" and "ground". Is "1" suppose to be "field" ??? If I remember right from years ago, this is correct...

Hi Fellas, I recently bought a "crate engine" to put in my 1976 postal jeep. The jeep is a little customized toy, but had a 258ci. 6 cylinder, automatic. Like Tim the tool man, it needs more power. The crate engine is a 302ci. V-8 out of a 90 mustang. C-4 automatic. Has stubby headers, aluminum...

Hi Guys, I bought a few acres of "scrap ground" ditches, creek, swamp, and alot of trees and underbrush. If I bought a bobcat, would it work well for scraping the ground to remove the brush and small trees??? I have a guy with a dozer coming to make a road into the place. Any help...

Hi Guys, Could not pass up this one. You know me Lets see, a tiltmeter made for tractors, vs a tiltmeter made for boats.Hmmm. Numbers painted for a quick recognition at a glance, or all white numbers. Rubber tube that can sag in high heat, thus possibly giving a false reading, vs a precision...
