What did you see on the road today?
Tabbysdaddy replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
They're diesel electric locomotives. Give them some credit, they're halfway there. -

Not in the US, nothing cross country at the very least. -
WHATS GOING ON HERE?
Tabbysdaddy replied to CaddyDaddy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yea, I'm not paying almost double what I paid for my house, for a truck. My $200 vehicles work just fine, most of the time. -
Tilted wheels. Why?
Tabbysdaddy replied to Earl Marischal's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
They also do that to fit wider tires, so the tire doesn't stick out past the fender lip which is against vehicle code in some places. -
A new tool would be better, so we can have them both.

What are the must-build classic kits?
Tabbysdaddy replied to OldNYJim's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The Camaro is one of my builts, back when I was 50/50 on painting bodies so I liked molded in color. I did get another from Ollie's so I can paint it this time. -
Acceptance of 3D printed models?
Tabbysdaddy replied to jdhog's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
They take a different type of glue, but as long as it still gets me high I'm okay with that. -

Is that one of those Palmers I hear so much about? -

How do they safely dispose of nuclear waste without harming the environment? Doesn't stop us from using it. -

I think the "I don't cares" are underrepresented. -

No hood on that Ford. I wonder if it warped.

Sounds like a good reason to watch. -

My wife was happy to get one of her trucks back, and then she ripped the gear shifter off the column earlier today. Luckily it happened in the front yard. It's been sloppy selecting gears, now I see why. I just finished rigging it back together, but now I'll be getting a junkyard column this weekend. Most of the important pieces are damaged. -

Hopefully this is the final update of the engine swap. Distributor seems to be set, haven't had the check engine light come on. Well, not for that anyways. Cylinder misfire #6. I suspected I would have to change the injectors, just like all the other stuff. Pulled the upper intake, swapped out the "spider" injector assembly. Running like it was before now. -

Engine in, started it up, gauge showed little to no oil pressure. I knew I would have to change the sensor, but wanted to see if it was good. It was not, oil pressure fine with original sensor. I had to pull the distributor to change it but the distributor was already off, the computer told me immediately upon startup. It wasn't positioned like my old one, and setting it in the same position it was still off. It's the type where you need a Tech2 to set the distributor, and I don't have one. So I'm doing it like I did last time. Turn distributor slightly, clear codes, run engine until check engine light comes back on. Repeat until light stops coming on. The closer you get to correct the longer the light takes to come back on. I'm close enough for now, I'll play with it more tomorrow. Mental note for me, I was turning clockwise. In case my brain blanks out on me I can refer to this.
